After Watching the Interview with Aldous Huxley

       First of all, I want to say I saw this interview about five times because of my poor English. When I watched the video, I stopped again and again to look up the words. Finally, I finished it. Back to what I want to talk about after I watched the video, most of Mr. Huxley’s beliefs I agree. He talked about the overpopulation might cause the less of freedom. Let’s see what happen in today’s China and India. Even though the large cites in China are very prosperous nowadays and the government also advocate the economic reform and open policy, the government still control most of the power. The reason is there are too many people. The resource can’t provide that kind enough in the future. Most of the people in China they still think Communism is not very negative because it can control the poverty gap. However, the truth is the poverty gap has become more and more large now.

But why still have so many people believed in their government? Mr. Huxley also mentioned about the overorganization. I’m from Taiwan where is also as democratic as America. We live in a very free country. We can do whatever we want; talk whatever we think and so forth. Before I visited China, I couldn’t believe that the regime can control the media. Until I watched the TV in China, I felt that just like what Mr. Huxley said that the TV drumming in of a single idea all the time. After I asked my friends, they said that the news only report the good news about how good the government is which exaggerate the truth. Also the dramas can only play the positive shows. However, it just likes brainwashing that people watch TV all the time which influence most of the family. After I came back Taiwan, I checked all the TV shows including news channels. I also noticed that some news channels supported one of the largest parties in Taiwan, others supported the other parties. It’s not really obvious if you don’t watch it carefully.

In conclusion, I’m not trying to compare all the countries because every country has their situation that needs a right description to solve all the problems. Nevertheless, lots of policies in Taiwan we parallel with America. Even though just like Mr. Huxley wanted that we all live in a democratic country, we still need to be aware of what he predicted.
