Brave New World

            Relentless government control, complete class inequality, and indoctrination of the masses, are the major components of an ideal utopian society.   The enforcement of utopian fundamentals will result in a society of unbalanced, moronic, brainwashed men who depict the misrepresented ideal of this society. In reality, laws of justice, equality, and freedom govern most of the modern world.  From the distorted view of Aldous Huxley's  Brave New World  the

             parallels that of his society.  He has no commitment to relationships, no
             passion, no sensitivity, nor a respect for traditional education - and yet, he
