Brave New World #1

In Brave New World, there is no actual equality. Instead people have just been tricked into thinking they are equal with people in their class. However, they have created conformity because they have made all of the different classes wear their own color. The society also has this idea of "stability" which is forced upon the people by abolishing their differences with the caste system being the only exception. For example, it gets rid of  difference in religion. Individual rights are primarily based on what caste you exist in. Because of the characteristics I would describe this society as a dystopia; however, it is not as menacing as the one in 1984.
