A new world, Old ways

While reading Brave New World I noticed that they have abolished religion and set the citizens in social classes for their comfort. But Huxley's new perfect world is contradicted by Bernard feeling of being an outsider even among his own class. This may be a cause of the mistake that is believed to have occurred during his early childhood as an infant. Even in Huxley's new reformed world were "fitting in" and being comfortable in your surroundings is so important outcast are still present in their perfect society. This is a problem that is seen in there world and ours. Where as we try to fit people in from personalities to religion. For example as people are judged through their religious beliefs those who are seen to be outsiders whom may not agree with your beliefs will differ from their opinions or beliefs to fit in, or be seen as “Normal”. This is seen when Bernard screams out "I hear him, I hear him coming" because the others of his Solidarity Group exclaimed words of worship. Even with this new perfect world, old tendencies still prevail.
