The main universal theme in A Brave New World would have to be that people will believe whatever you tell them. The author, Aldous Huxley, understands this about human nature and you can tell this just simply because he wrote this book. I mean the whole book is about the world completely changing in the future and everybody doing whatever someone tells them. He understands that people will always be trying to change the world into something like the world in A Brave New World. In the book they breed certain people to do certain jobs, for example they breed dumb people specifically to do things like janitor work. They breed smart people to be the leaders. They think that the world is just supposed to be that way and they don't care about anything else. The author , I think, is saying that people are so naive that they would actually let this happen one day in the future. Huxley must not think very highly of the entire human race. He makes up a war in the future and a whole new world, this guy had quite an active imagination.
