A Brave New World

The utopian society portrayed in “Brave New World” sounds like a wonderful place to live. A world that has no commitments, your own thoughts, or pain, might sound alluring, but really it’s a scary thing to think about. Just how far can science go without it being immoral? I think technology is just on the brink of being able to clone a whole new society of people, that we see portrayed in this book. To think that technology could help create a place where everything you were intended to do in life is laid out for you, that’s the scary part. I think that science has taken us to a place to where this type of world is actually possible to exist.

I might not have much in this world, but I do have love and my family. I couldn’t imagine a place where neither one was supposed to mean anything. I know that if I never knew this that I would never know what I was missing, but that’s the point of life. Life is love. They don’t even grieve when a loved one passes; it’s just a part of everyday life. I know that’s part of our everyday life, but my grandmother has been gone for twenty five years now, and I still cry every once in a while because I miss her. For all the happiness in the world, I wouldn’t change any of it, just to forget it.

A society full of people, who are given a drug to never be sad, or depressed, or mad, does sound amazing. There would a lot less heartache. Heartache is a part of life that we all must deal with. A part of life that helps shapes each and every single person.

With science and technology going the way that it has been going, we may not ever see any children outside playing in the dirt again. My niece, who is two years old, can work an Ipad, and an Iphone better than I can. I think that in a way it’s killing the innocence of the youth, just how fast it’s moving. Do we blame science and technology or do we blame the parents?

I already think that part of Huxley’s caste system in “Brave New World” mirror’s ours in ways. If we were to separate everyone
