Brave New World and Utopia

             In life, man strives for one thing and one thing only: a perfect society. In this "Utopian" society, people would have anything and everything they thought they needed.

In our non-utopian society, people are exposed to stereotypes and racism and this leads to problems which can result in conflict, and we all know that conflict is not part of a utopian society.
