If your skin is purple and purple people are not allowed to vote, it's likely your elected officials would not pay much attention to issues that are important to purple people, right? And you wouldn't find purple people in Congress or state legislatures either. OK now change skin color from purple to black. You will see that for many many years, Congress and many state legislatures were mostly (if not entirely) white males. 
<span>White men of the 18th and 19th centuries already had their rights and so the civil rights movement as we know it today didn't exist back then. It was only when blacks and women gained the rights to be educated and to vote in the late 1800s and early 1900s that the civil rights movement began to take hold and by the 1960s there was a flood of civil rights legislation being signed into law. You will also note that this happened as more blacks and women got elected to Congress and state legislatures. </span>

What does John say that he wants instead of comfort? What right does Mond suggest that he is claiming?
mezya [45]

Answer:

John demanded " I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I  want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want  sin".

Mustapha Mond suggests he's claiming "the right to be unhappy".

Explanation:

Aldoux Huxley's <em>Brave New World</em> is set in a dystopian world where the off-springs of the people were genetically engineered and already classed into their predestined castes from birth. The setting of the story is in the year 2540 AD, and deals with the theme of science and efficiency, away from humanistic emotions and feelings.

In chapter 17, John, the son of Linda and the Director of the Hatchery and Bernard Marx along with Helmholtz Watson are exiled for causing a scandal in the society. When told about how everything has been engineered to be comfortable for the people, John demands that he did not <em>"want comfort [but rather] God, poetry, real danger, freedom, goodness [and] sin"</em>.

At this, Mustapha Mond, the "<em>Resident World Controller for Western Europe</em>" suggests that John is claiming<em> "the right to be unhappy"</em>, for everything that he's just demanded is against the way of their scientifically engineered world. And with his demand, he's claiming all the ills of human life that the<em> "New World"</em> is offering.
