Argument Paragraph

When a government is given complete control over the society, people lose their individuality and creativity. In Brave New World, the director has complete control over the society and how humans are created and for what purpose. This idea of chemically creating individuals and further, conditioning them to all think and act the same results in the lack of individuality and creativity. Individuality is the quality and character of a person that distinguishes them from others of the same kind. In this society, the humans lack that individuality while they are all classified as either Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, or Epsilons.

It is evident that the director has complete control because he chooses who becomes a Gamma, a Delta, an Epsilon, and so forth.

They think and work like everyone else towards that main goal of stability. They are not given the creativity to think for themselves because they are created to work for everyone else. Further in the tour of the London Hatchery, the Director begins to explain the philosophy behind conditioning as he says “Books and loud noises, flowers and electric shocks – already in the infant
