Ethics in Brave new world

Drug use, family life and nonchalant sex are questionable topics in our modern and Brave New World. This was Aldous Huxley's prediction of our world today. These three in particular rely on the eyes of the beholder.

Drug use with the substance soma keeps civilians happy and mellow, some could relate this to cannabis. Yet in Brave New World the characters are dependent on this government funded drug to keep people in line and be content to not have basic freedoms of emotion.

Family life is fundamental part of a human being. I come from a large family which I hold dear to my heart, my parents are my heart and soul that teach me things most will never do. In a Brave New World there are no mothers or fathers since humans are genetically manufactured. Its laughed upon in the book, the director is humiliated when John begins to call him father.

Nonchalant sex for people today would vary with their opinion. In a Brave New World this norm was shocking to me. Living conditioned at a young age to do these acts are unheard of. Being promiscuous would be frowned upon most if it were a female and praised if male.

These all question a person's mindset and their morals and what they would find right or wrong.

Argument timed Write
QUARTER 3 REFLECTION

I learned in Quarter 3 that I am not the best writer in the world and that I have to get better at that aspect of Language. I have not really met my goals because I still procrastinated but just a tad bit. The most meaningful that we did were the debates towards the end because that was a real life scenario that we were all engaged in, seeing all the different viewpoints of sides that you would never know about a person or how they used their word choice to get their point across. I gained an understanding of my work habits, if I have things in order I am likely to get things done quicker. I never really like the timed writes because when it is assigned I completely blank and I never know what to write. I am most defiantly dreading the test because I have goals to pass but afraid I'll mess up.
