In this society that I’ve recently been welcomed to, I have discovered a new and frightening civilization. Every individuals life is planned out before they born, or able to think for themselves. The man that has named himself the higher up chooses to censor so much from his creations. People in this civilization are treated like his little lab rats. They are even categorized depending on their abilities! Alphas, Deltas, Gammas, and Epsilons. They are all the different types of people he makes to stabilize his " perfect civilization." I however do not think that it is even remotely close to one.
Never would I have thought that a society would censor so much of it's history from it's people.
Never would I have believed that people could be brainwashed enough to never be able to think for themselves.
Never would I have been this troubled by someone else's way of living before now.
These people have never been able to discover the true meaning of life. They've never had a chance to even TRY to figure it out. Soma tricks these people, and convinces them that they no longer need any free time to think. Without that extra time to just wonder about life, this civilization will never be freed from the D.H.C.'s power. No one here is able to learn on their own that life is very valuable. Children are taught that death means nothing. All that the people here have been trained to do is live up to someone else's expectations; to serve him for his own selfish needs. The more they give him what he wants, the more he asks for it. The person they keep trying to please is just a hypocrite. He doesn't deserve anything that's being given to him. He is my father, and from what I recall... having family is strongly looked down upon.
This civilization is not allowed to progress. There are no advances given the possibility of being made. I believe everyone should have the absolute freedom to think for themselves. No one in this civilization has any way to express themselves without the consent of another. I've noticed that all that matters anymore, are the things that shouldn't. All the people here care about is sex. These poor people aren't allowed to experience true love. Everything has become pure lust. They set aside the importance of inner beauty.
It wouldn't of affected me this much if his controlling power hadn't taken away the one person I loved the most; my mother. She was quickly drawn back in to this horrible world and its addictive pleasures. Soma took away her life. Another person that has been brainwashed by this society is my love Lenina. She never had a chance to think for herself. The control that he has over her is too strong.
People here have been raised to believe certain things, but aren't allowed to know what the real world is like. The world that they've been put in isn't really real. It's all controlled. People are not allowed to have any say in what they want. There are so many wonderful things that life has to offer that this civilization has yet to discover. These people's morals are also completely wrong. They are taught that sleeping around with everyone is alright. They are never taught to love even though it's the most important thing in life. Their conditioning teaches them that it is wrong to be attached to someone for too long of a period. What is wrong is to be intimate with someone who does not matter. It is an action that should never be done.
For once, the D.H.C should put behind his own selfish needs. All that he wants ( and does not let you realize) is to have things his way. He has tried to create his own perfect little society. Yet he does not realize nothing can be truly perfect. I have entered this civilization, and throughout my short stay here it seems as though my influences have already affected a great number. Why shouldn’t all these people be free to do as they wish? Be free to experience true love, to learn from one another, and so much more. There are many things that are being missed out on because of his selfish wants. Think of all the incredible things that could be accomplished to improve this society, if people were finally free from his control. Imagine being born and learning everything that is needed to grow as an individual. To be unique and unlike anyone else, and most importantly free.
Free to see the world.
Free to experience anything their heart desires.
Free to discover, fail, try again and then succeed.
Free from secrets that could stunt their imagination.
What the D.H.C does with this control is block everyone from seeing the truth. He hides literature that could inspire thousands with its beautiful words. Just as Romeo and Juliet once did, we have to fight for what we believe in. We have to fight for what we believe is right, even if it means putting up a fight. We are two different worlds that can be united just as them to create a peaceful and happy society, where we can be ourselves. Without us somehow struggling to achieve what we want, we will never succeed. If any of these people had not been censored from the wise words of Shakespeare, they might have had a chance in winning their own individual rights. They could have become something more then what they were trained to be.
A world without hypnopaedia is what this civilization is in a dire need of. We need a world full of freedom, fun, fantasy, and laughter. A place where we can express our inner most and private thoughts and not need to worry about getting caught and being brainwashed. The D.H.C does not deserve the right to tell us what is right or wrong because he is not our Ford. I will not let this man control me, or take away anything from me ever again with his negative influences. I declare my freedom from his control!
Ethos: "These people's morals are also completely wrong. They are taught that sleeping around with everyone is alright. They are never taught to love even though it's the most important thing in life. Their conditioning teaches them that it is wrong to be attached to someone for too long of a period. What is wrong is to be intimate with someone who does not matter. It is an action that should never be done." This is ethos because it represents his strong belief toward something, and his way of viewing it from his moral perspective.

This is pathos because it shows how he feels towards the situation that occurred between his mother and his lover. The emotions are sadness and disappointment.
Logos: "We are two different worlds that can be united just as them to create a peaceful and happy society, where we can be ourselves. Without us somehow struggling to achieve what we want, we will never succeed. " This is logos because it is something that makes sense without an emotional appeal. It is logical.
