Authors : Amraoui Oussama Abdeldjalil . Chaabane Ali Mohamed .

Abstract

Studies in dystopian fiction reveal the focus of authors on social stability as an escape from the lived reality, that is replete with ideologies and conflicting groups that seek domination through the illusion of social stability. The governments thus strive to dominate their citizens, rendering them disciplinary and supportive to the ruling system regardless of the needs of people. This papaer attempts to shed light on the different conditioing aspects that aid in maintaining disciplinary characters as a tool to achieve social stability. It utilizes Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World as an example for its dystopian features including the lack of individual freedom, fake happiness and the biological violations of the human nature.
