Brave New World #1

The people of this society are certainly not choosing their own pathways in their lives, however, it's not a distopia. Everything in their society is controlled and conditioned in an orderly manner. Each social class is determined at 'hatching', where they're told all their lives that this is what was meant to be and there's no reason for them to ever argue with what they're told. The people of this society believe that they were made this way for a reason and there's nothing they can do about it. Also, they've been so conditioned over their lives since they were tiny children that the ways they know are the only ways they'll ever know and it's been justified in their minds ever since. For example, Betas have expressions that are known to them and that they keep with them for the rest of their lives, "Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."  I would assume from reading this so far that it's a utopia. Everyone in their own caste is equal, and everyone is happy, which is the main goal of a perfect utopia.
