ABSTRACT

This thesis entitled "The Importance of Having Freedom as Potrayed in

Aldous Huxley's Brave New World”. This thesis discusses the importance of

freedom for the individual and how the effects of dependence on some of the characters in the novel. The theory used in the implementation of this thesis is the theory of structural functionalism by Talcott Parsons. By using inductive methods, we know that freedom is very important for an individual life’s. The impacts of the lack of freedom found in Brave New World are inability to choose, internal and

external conflict, no moral responsibility, rebellion and war, non-existence of freedom of thought, misery and pain, and it is also causes slavery in members of controlled community. The reason why having freedom is important is so that individual can make decision and taking control of his action, beside individual can have freedom in thinking and act, it also free us from slavery and war, and it becomes the basic of moral actions and decisions making, freedom also leads to happiness which is the main purpose of human life.

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World”. Skripsi ini membahas tentang pentingnya

kebebasan bagi individu dan bagaimana dampak dari ketidakbebasan terhadap beberapa karakter di novel tersebut. Teori yang digunakan dalam pengerjaan skripsi ini adalah teori fungsionalme struktural oleh Talcott Parsons. Dengan menggunakan metode induktif dapat diketahui bahwa kebebasan merupakan hal yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan seorang individu. Akibat dari tidak adanya kebebasan yang ditemukan dalam Brave New World adalah adanya ketidakmampuan untuk memilih,

konflik internal dan eksternal, tidak adanya pertanggungjawaban moral, tidak adanya kebebasan berpikir, adanya penderitaan dan kesengsaraan, dan juga melahirkan perbudakan dalam anggota masyarakat yang dikendalikan. Alasan pentingnya memiliki kebebasan adalah agar individu dapat mengambil keputusan dan mengatur tindakan mereka, selain itu individu dapat memiliki kekebasan berpikir dan bertindak, hal ini juga membebaskan kita dari perbudakan dan perang, dan juga dapat menjadi dasar dalam membuat keputusan dan tindakan moral, kebebasan juga membawa kebahagiaan yang merupakan tujuan utama dalam hidup manusia.
