Brave New World July 16, 2010 Pages 81-106

The author Huxley characterizes the "savages" of the reserves as those who did not conform to the created realities of the new world government. They are those who did not forfeit their right to birth offspring and care for their young. This right of keeping and raising offspring which we today feel as an inalienable right and a requirement of being human, was taken by the world government to aid in creating a subservient class of people. The proletariat created questions little and basks in temptations of the flesh. Huxley portrays the general population as ignorant of all ideologies and very attracted to pleasure that serves no real purpose. This revelation reflects the characteristics of current societies as well. Many people are dumbfounded when it comes to current problems, ideas, and policies, but delight in practices that serve no vital purpose. Huxley realized that ignorance is a very real problem in modern society.
