ist in the imperfect society created by humans. Just as there are social classes in today’s society, citizens of the world state are categorized into distinct social classes (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon) before they come into existence. The social classes, in turn, set a standard of prejudice. The people do not have the freedom to choose who or what they want to be, they have no choice but to follow the tracks preset for them.Stability is a goal in every society. It may be achieved by the cloning of citizens. Advances in biological research in the new world allow one embryo to separate into ninety-six individual embryos by means of the Bokanovsky Process, an advanced method of cloning. Embryos destined to be the lower classes (Gamma’s, Delta’s and Epsilon’s) are cloned, and the cloning ensures social stability of the lower classes. "Essentially … bokanovskification consists of a series of arrests of development … the egg responds by budding" (Huxley 4). This creates a standardized form of operation, with "ninety-six identical twins working ninety-six identical machines" (Huxley 5). The Bokanovsky Process provides social stability by having dozens of identical twins to work, eat and live together, where there would be no brawls or conflicts. As the Director of Hatchery and Conditioning says, "Bokanovsky’s Process is one of the major instruments of social stability" (Huxley 5). The establishment of a social caste system, where everyone belongs to a certain group and obtains certain powers, limits citizens to mingle only with those of their own caste and produces a set of prejudice between citizens. The Alpha and Beta citizens live in small houses and apartments in the suburbs surrounding the city, while the Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons stay in "huge lower-caste barracks" (Huxley 64) inside the city. The social caste system, along with the conditioning of the citizens, creates prejudice am...
