(Relating to the Structure of Society)
One of the aspects highlighted by Huxley is the custom that people in the “caste” system all work in cooperation and have non-conflicting attitudes in the business environment. The collaboration of all castes is essential in order to aid the productivity of society. Based on the scientific goals of the World State, one can see that the government of this time period is aiming for more research on increased “decanting” rates while also maintaining the quality of other services. The two extremes of public services are mentioned in the novel “as future sewage workers or future…he was going to say ‘future World controllers,’ but correcting himself, said ‘future Directors of Hatcheries.” (13).
This concept is also related to the balance between the amount of people in each caste. Here, the “Epilsons”, “Gammas”, and “Deltas” seem to account to “millions of identical twins” (7). However, the higher individuals in this caste system are regarded in fewer numbers and only mentioned either working in their specialty range or as individuals who have achieved high positions. The effect is a direct hierarchy that everyone is satisfied with, either by soma or through hypnopaedia.
