This is evident through the use of propoganda throughout the novel. Specifically the society slogan Community, Identity, Stablitity. This slogan is used to control the society and ensure they don't have the chance to think for themselves and develop their own beliefs and values. Hence, acting as an enemy of freedom. ]]> 2017-04-03 22:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/martin_dickens/5zubsj2n50lk/wish/164489687 https://padlet.com/martin_dickens/5zubsj2n50lk/wish/164489712 Aldous Huxley created the distopian society in 'Brave New World' based on the key principles in 'eniemies of freedom'; propoganda, drugs and over population.]]> 2017-04-03 22:28:40 UTC https://padlet.com/martin_dickens/5zubsj2n50lk/wish/164489712 https://padlet.com/martin_dickens/5zubsj2n50lk/wish/164489725 Huxley effectively uses propaganda, drugs and an over populated society to demonstrate to the audience this futuristic totalitarian society. The slogon "COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY" demonstrate the control the government has over its people. The use of the drug 'soma' further perpetuated this as it doesnt enables individuals to think for themselves and have true feelings towards others. ]]> 2017-04-03 22:28:50 UTC https://padlet.com/martin_dickens/5zubsj2n50lk/wish/164489725 https://padlet.com/martin_dickens/5zubsj2n50lk/wish/164489789 'Enemies of Freedom' is a doctrine showing the ill effects of combining propoganda, sedation and mass control of the population. Huxley shows these key principles in 'Brave New World' by having the hatchery as a dictatorship that, through systemic propoganda and drug use, the population has learned to love. He states that  this is a  dangerous mindset]]> 2017-04-03 22:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/martin_dickens/5zubsj2n50lk/wish/164489789 https://padlet.com/martin_dickens/5zubsj2n50lk/wish/164490098

This can be seen in Huxley's "Brave New World", as the world that Huxley creates is one in which government propaganda and drugs are used to control the masses' feelings, convincing them that they are happy with their lot, while genetic engineering is used to control society in a more direct sense, enforcing a class system. ]]> 2017-04-03 22:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/martin_dickens/5zubsj2n50lk/wish/164490116 https://padlet.com/martin_dickens/5zubsj2n50lk/wish/164490197 The use of drugs to control individuals thoughts and views along with the use of advanced propaganda combined creates a totalitarian dystopian society in the novel that is influenced by the factors that he had spoken about in the essay Enemies of Freedom]]> 2017-04-03 22:34:43 UTC https://padlet.com/martin_dickens/5zubsj2n50lk/wish/164490197 https://padlet.com/martin_dickens/5zubsj2n50lk/wish/164490254 The three principles Huxley uses to create the totalitarian society in Brave New World are propaganda, drugs and over population.

that could develop to become enemies of freedom. he highighted these in his novel as propoganda, drugs and the strain of an over populated society.
