HUXLEY'S BRAVE NEW WORLD

            Due to being absent the past few days…. I have not been able to write my essay, but I am going to as soon as possible! I would like to write about his interview because I thought it was quite interesting. Often times, interviews can be boring and uneventful. They usually always ask the same lame questions such as how is the family or how do you feel about this issue, but this interview was quite different (in a good way). I was able to really see and understand both Huxley's POV now and then. Now, I do not believe that we are a part of the Brave New World at this current moment, but we could be evolving into it. Social media and technology are extremely influential aspects of our society. Each of us is constantly using technology such as our cell phones or televisions, so Huxley is correct in the idea that these influences can affect our emotions, actions, and morals. In addition to the media, drugs could be another influence. Huxley mentioned the concept of drugs in his interview, which was that drugs can change our choices. Drugs could become a gateway in which others use to control an individual’s freedom or ideals. This could lead to the world described in Brave New World, so personally I agree with Huxley about preparing for the future ahead of us instead of being blindsided.
