Brave New World - A Letter to Mr. Huxley :: essays papers

courageous new-sprung(prenominal) World - A Letter to Mr. Huxley lamb Mr. Huxley During the past few weeks my class and I go through been reading your book, Brave New World. While reading your book I have discovered a few captivating issues. These issues include the wipeout of the family, the hold of drugs, and polygamy (obligatory sex). These issues argon interesting because of their implications in lifetime today, and the frequent times they are shown in the book. The ways they are utilize to control people and perform their life easier, and the event that our world seems to be falling into the same state. The destruction of the family an important issue to me personally because of the relevance it has to my life and to our changing world. The fact that the words mother, father, etc are considered pornographic is particularly interesting. The family in Brave New World is replaced with bottles, nurses, conditioning, and life training. These changes allow for a more easily controlled mortal. By non allowing a person to have or develop relationships that person is more receptive to his predestined path and more kerneled to look out the group. The destruction of the family is also an issue in todays world. say and pregnancy before marriage is destroying the Family. These things are causing children to grow up with out whole families and in some cases without any family. This worries me because I turn int want our world to end up the same as the one in Brave New World. The issue of Use of Drugs is a personal favourite. While the idea of a perfect drug that has no side effects and doesnt leave you with a hangover is intriguing. The way it is used in the book is disturbing. The drug in the book is used to keep people from having any unwanted emotions they are conditioned to choke most of there free time on soma (the drug). This causes them not to have much time to think about anything, which makes them more content to spend t heir life doing just what there told and making them a controlled individual with no real power over there own life (a slave). The use of drugs is a big issue in our world today.
