Abstract
To understand the world, one must first understand the people that inhabit it and the system that they live in. Researching what is hidden behind the stage of the world, society and humans is a complex yet necessary path that can provide knowledge compulsory for planning change. Delving into the reality of capitalism and the environment that shape people’s identities can uncover the hidden reasons behind a malfunctioning society. Seeing how people’s actions affect them and their environment makes them aware of the immense power they have within. Carrying such ability, possible to change the world for the better, in collaboration with the rest of the community, can be frightening but eye-opening at the same time. Through the prism of a famous literary dystopia, Brave New World, the functioning of the entire system acting as a mirror of the human kind is explored. The parallels between its dystopian vision and the contemporary society reflect the realities of the present and the hidden problems that impede the human life experience. This offers an insight into where certain choices may lead the humanity to and help to raise awareness on the current situation. The paradox of such negativities in both real and fictional worlds is in the disillusionment they carry, which can be a powerful omen to encourage change within oneself, and therefore within the world.
Abstract (croatian)
Da bismo razumjeli svijet, prvo moramo razumjeti ljude koji ga nastanjuju i sustav u kojem se nalaze. Otkrivanje onoga što se skriva iza kulisa svijeta, društva i ljudi je složen, ali neophodan put koji može pružiti znanje neophodno za planiranje promjena. Zadubljivanje u stvarnost kapitalizma i okruženje koje oblikuje identitete ljudi može otkriti skrivene razloge iza lošeg funkcioniranja društva. Kada ljudi vide kako vlastiti postupci utječu na njih i njihovu okolinu, postaju svjesni goleme moći koju imaju u sebi. Nositi takvu sposobnost za promjenu svijeta na bolje, uz suradnju s ostatkom zajednice, može biti zastrašujuće, ali u isto vrijeme prosvjetljujuće. Kroz prizmu poznate književne distopije, Vrli novi svijet, istražuje se funkcioniranje cjelokupnog sustava koji djeluje kao ogledalo ljudske vrste. Paralele između njegove distopijske vizije i suvremenog društva odražavaju realnost sadašnjosti i skrivene probleme koji sprječavaju da se život iskusi na pravi način. To nudi uvid u to kamo određeni izbori mogu dovesti čovječanstvo te pomaže u podizanju svijesti o trenutnoj situaciji. Paradoks takvih negativnosti u stvarnom i fiktivnom svijetu je ta da razotkrivanje istih može snažno utjecati na poticanje promjena unutar sebe, a time i u svijetu.
