Utopian Failures

 

         A utopia is any visionary system of political or social perfection.  In both of the books, 1984 by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the societies were attempting to reach perfection, but neither of them were able to achieve.  Another example of a utopian society is in the book The Giver by Lois Lowry.  Most of the concepts in the societies in these three books are unsuccessful and unsuitable, but there are some advantages to these societies.  The utopia that has the most advantages is the society in The Giver.

         In our world today, there are situations that most people wish we never had to endure.  Sometimes, an individual walks to school and notices that everyone is wearing a new kind of shoes.  They feel embarrassed because it seems like they are the only one without them.  In the society of The Giver, this feeling of embarrassment does not exist.  In this society, everyone looks and acts about the same so there is no prejudice.  The society has also eliminated unwanted feelings such as pain, fear, and hatred.  The feeling of “wanting” was also eliminated by the society.  This feeling was called Stirrings.  Everyone eventually experiences the Stirrings. To eliminate these feelings, they take pills.  “It’s just the pills.  You’re ready for the pills, that’s all.  That’s the treatment for Stirrings” (Lowry 37).  Lowry explains that once the people who live here reach the age of twelve, they are able to get their job, or Assignment.  They determine their Assignments by their interests and ability, and announce them at the Ceremony of Twelve (17). By doing this, no one is unhappy with his or her job.  These are positive features to their society, but it is still not as livable as today's world. 

        Nobody in the society is aware of the reality of life, and they all think that they are living life normally because they are not informed with this knowledge.  The only people that know about the real world are the people who have the job of the main character, Jonas.  As Lowry states, “Jonas has not been assigned… Jonas has been selected” (60). Jonas was selected to be the next Receiver of Memory, one of the few people who knew about the real world and what happened in the past when their society did not exist.  He would feel the pain and hatred that no one in his society has ever felt before.  

        In the society of The Giver, the citizens did not know about the past.  The people in 1984 were not informed with the past either.  Past events were hidden from people in the society of 1984, because they did not want to remind them of how life was like before the utopia.  Some people, like the main character, Winston, still had slight memories of the past.  “In the dream he had remembered his last glimpse of his mother, and within a few moments of waking the cluster of small events surrounding it had all come back.  It was a memory that he must have deliberately pushed out of his consciousness over many years” (Orwell 160).  In this memory, he was with his mother, and they had a chocolate bar.  In the society that he lived, chocolate was only given out in rations. Not only that, food including tea, coffee, jam, and sugar were prohibited.  These foods were only given to Inner Party members (Orwell 140-141).  Everyone was restricted of the food they ate, and their choices.  Not only did they restrict what everyone ate, but the society also had thoughtcrimes.  

        If someone committed a thoughtcrime, they had negative thoughts towards the Party.  If they did something that was against the Party, they would be vaporized, and if someone even thought something unorthodox they would be captured by the Thought Police and vaporized (Orwell 19).  It is unfair to punish someone that has not done anything, but has only thought it.  It seems impossible to catch someone that is just thinking, but when the society is watching everyone everywhere, it is possible.  As Orwell describes it, “Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever.  You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you” (19).  The society had telescreens, which were used to watch all Party members to make sure that they were not doing anything against the Party or against their beliefs.  With telescreens, nobody would ever have any privacy.  They were watched their whole life by people that they do not even know.  Nobody was able to be by themselves without people watching and being suspicious that they are liable of thoughtcrime.  “If you made unexpected movement they yelled at you from the telescreen” (Orwell 226). 

        The society was very strict with the thoughts of all Party members.  They were even creating a new language called Newspeak.  Newspeak was a new way of talking and it had very few words and the vocabulary level was extremely low.  "Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it" (Orwell 52). With the new language of Newspeak, the society was controlling your range of thought and what you can or cannot think. 

         In the Brave New World Society, the World State, the Director also controls its members.  The Director controls its members even before their birth, or before they are “decanted” (Huxley 32).  The people that work in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre decide if you will have blue eyes or brown eyes, dark hair or light hair.  Huxley describes that in the Hatchery, they also decide if you will be a hard worker and have most privileges, an Alpha, or if you will have less work and have an easy life, like an Epsilon (35).  In the modern world, everyone has to earn their way up and work hard to get the job they want.  Although the World State’s system works to make everyone have a spot in society, it is unfair to enforce certain spots for people.  

        The people of the World State cannot make the choice of what position they will be in society. Other people controlled the members of the World State society, just like in The Giver.  Another quality similar to The Giver’s society was that they believed that fear and pain should be eliminated from the society, but they take out these feelings in a different way.  They had soma.  With the use of soma, the people of the World State can get away from the troubles in their lives. “The return to civilization was for her the return to soma, was the possibility of lying in bed and taking holiday after holiday, without ever having to come back to a headache or a fit of vomiting” (Huxley 142). Soma was able to keep the people of the society away from thoughts of real world feelings.

         Although all three of these utopias are politically and socially very different, all three have a main purpose, stability.  Huxley writes that a society has “No civilization without social stability” (47).  Because of the examples given by these books, we have learned the failures of a perfect society.

Utopian Failures

 

         A utopia is any visionary system of political or social perfection.  Although in both of the books, I don't think you need a comma here -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:18 PM Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, and 1984, by George Orwell, describe societies weird wording, I would say "societies are described" plus change to active and not passive voice -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:18 PM that were trying to reach perfection, neither of them were able to achieve this Don't end a sentence in "this" -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:17 PM .  Another example of a utopian society is in the book The Giver by Lois Lowry.  I THIS ISN'T AN ESSAY ABOUT YOU...NO FIRST PERSON! CHANGE IN THE REST OF THE ESSAY -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:20 PM disagree with most of the concepts in the societies in these three books, but there are some advantages to these societies.  The utopia that I agree with most is the society in The Giver.

         In our world today, there are some things that most people wish were never thererestructure sentence, very vague and don't use words like "things" -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:21 PM .  Sometimes, when you walk to school, you notice that everyone has a new kind of shoes.  You feel embarrassed because it seems like you are the only one without them on.  In the society of The Giver, this feeling of embarrassment does not exist.  In this society, everyone looks and acts about the same so there is no prejudice.  The society has also eliminated unwanted feelings such as pain, fear, and hatred.  The feeling of “wanting” was also eliminated by the society.  This feeling was called Stirrings. They eliminated these feelings by taking pills. “It’s just the pills.  You’re ready for the pills, that’s all.  That’s the treatment for Stirrings” lead up to the quote better, it is just kind of thrown in there -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:22 PM (37). Lowry explains that once the people who live here reach the age of twelve, they are able to get their job, or Assignment.  They determine their Assignments by their interests and ability and announce them at the Ceremony of Twelve (17). By doing this, no one is unhappy with his or her job.  These are positive things to a society, but I still would not want to live in a place similar to this because I would be unaware of the reality of life.  But if I lived here, I would not know that I was not living life normally because I would not be informed with this knowledge.  The only people that knew about the real world were the people who had the job of the main character, Jonas.  As Lowry states, “Jonas has not been assigned… Jonas has been selected” (60). Jonas was chosen use the word "selected" since you just got it from the quote - to prove your point -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:23 PM to be the next Receiver of Memory, one of the few people who knew about the real world and what happened in the past when their society did not exist.  He would feel the pain and hatred that no one in his society has ever felt before.  In the society of The Giver, the citizens did not know about the past.  The people in 1984 did not know about the past either.I would wait and place this sentence after you discuss not knowing anything about the past when you bring up 1884.  Plus, arrange the paragraphs by the order in which you introduced them in the intro paragraph. -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:24 PM 

         Past events were hidden from people in the society of 1984, because they did not want to remind the people of how life was like before the utopia.  Some people like the main character, Winston, still had slight memories of the past.  “In the dream he had remembered his last glimpse of his mother, and within a few moments of waking the cluster of small events surrounding it had all come back.  It was a memory that he must have deliberately pushed out of his consciousness over many years” (Orwell 160).  In this memory, he was with his mother and they had a chocolate bar.  In the society that he lived, chocolate, and many other foods were prohibited.  These foods were only given to Inner Party members (Orwell 141).  I would not like to be restricted by the food I eat; I would want to make my own choices.  Not only did they restrict what you could eat, but also the society had thoughtcrimes.  If you committed a thoughtcrime, you had negative thoughts towards the Party.  If you did something that was against the Party, you would you be vaporized, and if you even thought something unorthodox you would be captured by the Thought Police and would be vaporized (Orwell 19).  I think it is unfair to punish someone that has not done anything, but has only thought it.  It seems impossible to catch someone that is just thinking, but when the society is watching you everywhere, it is possible.  As Orwell describes it, “Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever.  You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you” (19).  The society has telescreens, which are used to watch all Party members to make sure that they are not doing anything that is against the Party or against the Party’s beliefs.  With telescreens, nobody would ever have any privacy.  I would never want to be watched my whole life by people I do not even know.  If I were being watched all of the time, I would not be able to be by myself without people watching and being suspicious that I am liable of thoughtcrime.  “If you made unexpected movement they yelled at you from the telescreen” (Orwell 226). The society of the Party was very strict with your thoughts of the Party.  They were even creating a new language called Newspeak.  Newspeak was a new way of talking and it had very few words and the vocabulary level was extremely low.  The reasoning for such a language is to narrow the thought span of the Party members.  Without a way of expressing your thoughts with words, these thoughts cannot be comprehended.  With the new language of Newspeak, the society was controlling what you can or cannot think.  I would not like to be controlled by my society like the Party does to its members.they weren't prohibited, they were given out in rations -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:26 PM .  These foods were only given to Inner Party members check up on this - I thought that was food like coffee and jam...not the food given out in rations like the chocolate or the tabacco -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:26 PM (Orwell 141).  I would not like to be restricted by the food I eat; I would want to make my own choices.  Not only did they restrict what you could eat, but also the society had thoughtcrimes.  If you committed a thoughtcrime, you had negative thoughts towards the Party.  If you did something that was against the Party, you would you be vaporized, and if you even thought something unorthodox you would be captured by the Thought Police and would be vaporized (Orwell 19).  I think it is unfair to punish someone that has not done anything, but has only thought it.  It seems impossible to catch someone that is just thinking, but when the society is watching you everywhere, it is possible.  As Orwell describes it, “Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever.  You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you” (19).  The society has telescreens, which are used to watch all Party members to make sure that they are not doing anything that is against the Party or against the Party’s beliefs.  With telescreens, nobody would ever have any privacy.  I would never want to be watched my whole life by people I do not even know.  If I were being watched all of the time, I would not be able to be by myself without people watching and being suspicious that I am liable of thoughtcrime.  “If you made unexpected movement they yelled at you from the telescreen” (Orwell 226). The society of the Party was very strict with your thoughts of the Party. <-- weirdly worded -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:29 PM  They were even creating a new language called Newspeak.  Newspeak was a new way of talking and it had very few words and the vocabulary level was extremely low.  The reasoning for such a language is to narrow the thought span of the Party members.  Without a way of expressing your thoughts with words, these thoughts cannot be comprehended.  With the new language of Newspeak, the society was controlling what you can or cannot think.  you need a citation somewhere for Newspeak because it is not common knowledge -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:30 PM I would not like to be controlled by my society like the Party does to its members. Your strongest points in order are thoughtcrimes, newspeak, and the thing about food. don't start off with your weakest arguement -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:30 PM 

         In the Brave New World Society, the World State, the Director also controls its members.  The Director controls its members even before their birth, or before they are “decanted” (Huxley 32).  The people that work in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre decide if you will have blue eyes or brown eyes, dark hair or light hair.  Huxley describes that in the Hatchery, they also decide if you will be a hard worker and have most privileges, an Alpha, or if you will have less work and an easy life, like an Epsilon (35).  In the modern world, everyone has to earn their way up and work hard to get the job they want.  Although this system works to make everyone have a spot in society, I do not think it is right to enforce certain spots for people.  I disagree that the people of the World State cannot make the choice of what position they will be in society.  Something similar to The Giver’s society was that they believe that fear and pain should be eliminated from the society, but they take out these feelings in a different way.  With the use of soma, the people of the World State can get away from the troubles in their lives. “The return to civilization was for her the return to soma, was the possibility of lying in bed and taking holiday after holiday, without ever having to come back to a headache or a fit of vomiting” (Huxley 142).wrap this paragraph up with a concluding sentence -Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:32 PM 

         Although all three of these utopias are politically and socially very different, all three have a main purpose, stability.  Huxley writes that a society has “No civilization without social stability” (47).  Because of the examples given by these books, we have learned the failures of a perfect society. Need a stronger conclusion, really make your point-Jennifer Mann 6/5/09 12:32 PM 

 

I think all of the info is there and strong, just make sure you deliver it and arrange it to get your point across most clearly.

         A utopia is any visionary system of political or social perfection.  Although in both of the books, Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, and 1984, by George Orwell, describe societies that were trying to reach perfection, neither of them were able to achieve this.  Another example of a utopian society is in the book The Giver by Lois Lowry.  I disagree with most of the concepts in the societies in these three books, but there are some advantages to these societies.  The utopia that I agree with most is he society in The Giver.
