Sarah Wolf Veritas Symposium Rosato 15 September 2014 Brave New World and Values in Human Life Aldous Huxley uses Brave New World to emphasize the importance of individualism in human life. Individualism is when a single person puts his own needs above the needs of the group. In a dystopian society that believes “every one belongs to everyone else (Huxley 43)”, standing out and being one’s own person are considered taboo. The society’s organized sexual promiscuity helps discourage monogamous relationships because “It’s such horribly bad form to go on and on like this with one man (Huxley 41).” Ideals such as monogamy or solidarity are so outrageous to this society that a person risks punishment for feeling the need for or wanting “alone time”, as Bernard Marx and Helmholtz Watson were sent to an island for expressing their differences from the society. Having freedom of choice is not a necessity to the Brave New World “world state”.
