Brave New World Journal # 3
In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley creates a society that is much different from ours through customs, morals and values. In the book young characters family values are corrupted by children never growing up without parents and never really learning the value of relationships. This corruption begins when the characters in the society have "erotic" play with each-other in classes each day. When such a serous thing is brought to children they do not take it seriously, they take it as for fun. The characters are built at a young age to not find any value other than fun and happiness, because of this sex is no longer seen as a serious thing, with commitment, intimacy or value. All value from characters is then stripped away because everything is then put at the same level. Love becomes unknown to to the children. All sex and love have become a meaningless thing towards the characters in the book because they can have anyone they want any day. When they have this, love is no longer needed in order to get involved with one another and the people are corrupted into thinking that sex is alright without any love. People in Brave New world never learn morals or values for any serous situation, they take everything the same, and everything is done the same, nothing changes for them.
