mike wallace interviews aldous huxley essay

As Aldous Huxley talks about the brave new world he mentions his ideals on how he sees this new world coming about, I think that our world is on the brink of turning into his book, "Brave New World." In the book the whole idea or main theme is conforming their world to a "new world" to make it the perfect place to be. In society we are conforming like in the book because of many reasons. One of the reasons I think we are on the brink is because of the vast amounts or let's say not so vast amount of companies that are out there. We are suppose to be free and we should be able to sell goods & products on a level playing field like all other countries or companies but that is not true anymore. Most companies are owned by a monopoly and most consumers don't see that, it's like we don't have the freedom to know about this because we are conformed into a set of ideals that we are free and we can all own or operate our own company. Another reason why I think we are submerging into this new world is how in America we all have to go to school, yes school is important, I'm not saying it isn't but how we learn is like a conveyer belt. If students don't learn one way then they are thrown out like they are a mistake and get lost and never able to get to their greatest potentials because they aren't the ideal learner because they need to learn a different way. Society also conforms us in every way possible; getting jobs you need to be type A or you don't get the job or  being presented to the public eye and being judged for what we wear or what we do. We conform ourselves to look the way we see celebrities and sometimes the trends are horrendous but it conforms us to be looking the same like robots. Aldous Huxley was genius for actually writing a book like this. We read it in school thinking it's educational but really bashes everything we come to know. Just crazy how true we are almost or already like the brave new world.
