Please use these questions as a guide as you read Chapter 16. If you wish to answer them for extra credit, please post o your blog by January 4.
1. What shocks John about Mustapha Mond, Resident World Controller for Western Europe?
2. Mond says, "Beauty's attractive, and we don't want people to be attracted by old things". (p.219) Was there a hypnopedic saying repeated by characters throughout the book that reinforce this idea?
3. What does Mond mean when he says that, "You can't make tragedies without social instability. The world's stable now. People are happy; they get what they want" (p. 220). Why does John respond to the media provided by stating, "But they don't mean anything." (221)?
4. How do you think John would respond to Flava of Love, The Bachelor, ESPN or reality shows like Survivor? What would Mond think of these shows?
5. What was the Cyprus experiment?
6. Why does Mond believe that "science must be treated as a possible enemy" (p. 225)?
7. What shift did mass production produce?
8. What is their punishment?
