It also allows human beings to get their minds around the fact that Gods knowledge and being is beyond anything our human minds can comprehend, let alone try to describe with ‘positive’ words. It is easy for us as human beings to believe in a God and portray God to be like us (anthropomorphism), but truthfully we do not know how he would appear, and this theory helps to convey the mysteriousness of God. Negative descriptions of God or divine Powers are literal fact and so are easily understood across cultures and time, because they never change and always remain fact, there is no confusion, however
[…] now there are fields, endless fields, where human beings are not born, we are grown” (The Matrix). The creation of AI enhances the people’s standards of living by the appliance of technology. However, due to the people’s constant voracious nature, this movement also surfaces their unsettling desire for higher-standard luxury. This progression continues until the technology becomes an essential in their lives that it is a need rather than a luxury. However, by the time that human realize their dependence on machines is no longer a choice, it has entangled with technology to a coexisting degree.
But the de-skilling hypothesis is also about technology. De-skilling technology implies that no significant investment in developing the skills of ordinary workers was required. Although millwrights and engineers needed new skills, the hypothesis implies that ordinary workers’ skills imposed no significant requirements on the adoption and implementation of this new technology. Technological change appears as an elite process, driven by inventors, entrepreneurs and a narrow stratum of supporting skilled craftsmen; the de-skilling hypothesis corresponds to the “heroic” view of invention. But far less evidence supports this aspect of the de-skilling hypothesis.
All humanistic studies are conducted unscientifically. This is a strength of this is that they are less artificial in the way they conduct their studies, this in turn makes the tests more ecologically valid. However a weakness of this is that they have no objective results and they are unable to control variables. This makes causality harder to establish and means psychologists are unable to predict what is going to happen. The humanistic approach represents the ‘healthy half of psychology’ and suggests that we are all with good intentions.
The prime mover is the thing that created everything and exists by necessity, therefore has to exist. It is perfect and cannot change, as the ability to change would mean that it is not perfect. This also means it is pure good as a lack of goodness means you can do better and doing better would require change. The prime mover cannot interact with the physical world and has no plan for us, going against the idea of God, the prime mover most people believe in. The prime mover is the unmoved mover, this is similar to the domino effect were someone (the prime mover) nocks over a domino causing the adjacent dominos to topple as well but the starter of the chain reaction is unmoved itself.
Is it the idea of being able to think for your self and having free will or does it mean being born with the ability to have emotions and therefore have a soul. Or is it simply being created or born with human DNA and a human body. In the book the Special Forces are used as protectors of the human race and are given jobs that any realborn soldier with morals wouldn’t want to do. They are considered to have no emotions and no soul. They are “born” or created into an adult body with no life experience and are therefore a child stuck in an adults world.
All of the people in the brave New World believe they are the best they can be which means there is no desire to achieve anything or try harder. This also furthers the gap between real human nature because it is just basic instinct for people to make things better for themselves. When the world controller makes John stay as punishment it’s clear that the world is not a utopia because John hangs himself. By acknowledging the dystopia, Aldous Huxley demonstrates how one man's heaven is another man’s hell. Along with many other possible themes, “A perfect world is unachievable without imperfection” fits quite nicely.
Everyone would be able to get the education that they need in order to get the job that they want instead of having to sit at a job that they don’t want because of the fact that they don’t have the education for it. A Constitution republic and the socialism are alike in very few ways but I’m going to take the time and explain these ways. First they both are a government were nobody can actually rule over an individual. I like the fact that we have a voice to speak and no government can rule over the people because we have that opportunity to speak for ourselves. Also another thing about these two governments that make them alike is they both give everyone the opportunity to get a good job and education so that not one person is left behind.
Although the Hatchery provides a secure and peaceful lifestyle, it simultaneously takes any intuition and uniqueness from the humans produced there. People are defaced to the level of machines produced on an assembly line. Reading this novel has really made me appreciate the freedoms that we have come to automatically assume. Non conformity and inventiveness, two traits that are completely abandoned by the Hatchery, are highly encouraged in today’s times. It is surprising that the future is depicted this way by Huxley because it seems like more of a degeneration of mankind rather than an advancement.
the technology used in their society has control over what and who they are as a person. It shows proof that technology controls humans ability to be who they want to be. In this society, individuals don't have control over their own intelligence because they either make you have a good sense of intelligence or have none at all. You cannot try your best, nor do more work because your intelligence is predetermined. As well as this type of technology allows one to be conditioned without even knowing of it.
