"Community, Identity, Stability" (3). This, to me, seem like the beginning of a very disturbed world. Those three words alone don't seem like much, but together have a sort of ominous tone to them. "Individuality" isn't mentioned, which shows what kind of dystopia this book will portray. But when it's thought about, there are still slogans like this in our world today. For instance, about 70 years ago, all of Germany had posters plastered everywhere saying "Work sets you free." Even today a common slogan in Iraq is "Kill and capture." These two sayings are still very well known today. Both these show that our world right now may not be all too different from Huxley's.
