Define Human

The many different subjects that could be explored in Brave New World, im highly tempted to use quotes from outside of 1-4 and usually boundaries never stop me but there is plenty in just 1-4 to be discussed. Again i give a warning to my few readers that my thoughts are not strctured; instead they are tons of thoughts that will spill out into this canvas that i am given to express my self on. The people of this BNW are machines. In my mind they are not humans, the human beings of the book so far have been contained to Bernard Marx, and that in the slightest word his freind Helmholtz. Even Helmholtz internally reverts back to being a machine of the BNW. This BNW has this plan that they will create these "humans" as tools they have mechanizied all of these beings into the castes having them be completely happy within their own caste not wanting more or less, constantly happy with what they have and if not given soma, on page 45 "Has any of you ever encountered an insurmountable object?" The question was awnsered by a negative silence. The simple fact of them never having problems, never experiencing sadness, grief, care, or love; the only feeling they ever will feel are those regulated by BNW that the human body necesarrily needs. Those of sexual desire, fulfillment within their class, and cerebral happiness. Now you might even ask what is human? My own perspective is that of mayn different categories i define Bernard Marx as human for he has greif, happiness, depression. These things may be seen as something to be avoided even in our world but they define the human being in the fact that these emotions are so strong as to almost control the persons minds and bodily state. Why would this government do this to their people why would they want to create machines out of humans? why would they want to destroy individuality something that seems to diversify but also decrease slowly within our own culture. The machines are more efficent for this BNW than the humans are human have feelings constant wants needs, ideals, opinions, ever changing ideas. Machines need to be greased (in this case recreational sports, obstacle golf), fueled(in this case food), and in this case kept happy( soma and the abundance of sexual pleasure. The sexual promsicuity that is endorsed is kept to make sure no human traits are born such as love and connection between two people not the sudden passion but a lasting love that will slowly develop between two people, this factors in many problems for this government divorce leads to sadness, jealousy leading to conflict possible deaths. With the destruction of love they have completely destroyed that of parent/child love that is the connect the different opinions, morals that the parents will teach to their children the next generation. Instead the government is in the role of the parent. This individuality leads to many problems for the government not efficent enough spread of workers, some not working, some dieing earlier than others. The individuality is destroyed with group sing as they are all one the same cloths the castes are all the universal person that it is better for the "community" even deaths are not morned but simply giving back to the community as the billows of ashes of dead people are simply converted into fueled later used by the inhabitants of BNW. In our culture today individuality is expanded and decreased drastically, people do take on these "castes" or "clques" even if they feel they are individuals they take on the aspects the music the culture of their "discourse" but do not expand look any further those who hate country will forever put it down and never give it a chance or those who hate "rap" will never listen to a rap song with seriousness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LwAkavpCvA (something in sorts related to what im saying, i'd look at the lyrics a little bit closer :) you might see some funnies.)But as we are humans this is all subject to change the beauty of our culture is the flexibilty of our change we can be this today something else tommorrow. The categorizing of people within these cultures is something that is just as bad as the caste system in BNW. This is one of the lacking blogs, nt very motivated i dont feel much in this passage for some reason no real emotion maybe this machinity is passing onto me the fact that our culture expects us to be just as robotic and perfect is something of hilarity.
