Rule By Institutions
The world is made up of many institutions. The family, religion, and education are structures that our world is built around. These institutions influence our behavior and how we interact with each other. In Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World, the directors realized the advantages of the institutional structures of the old world and used them to help control the clones of the Brave New World.

He feels miserably isolated now as he had been when the
service began-more isolated by reason of his
unreplenished emptiness, his dead satiety (Huxley 86).
