thinkin'?

I was thinking a lot about what Mrs. Hoppel was talking about during the book discussion today. Do we really want the future to end up like this??
Like sexuality, for example. In Brave New World, six year olds are having sexual activity. Why?? Because in this world, there is no respect for their bodies and no morality. Nobody in this book has any morals!
The scary thing is, future centuries CAN end up like this. Just think about it, kids are having sex younger and younger now. In the book, there are comments about how horrible it must be to wait until your twenties to have sex. Well, most people don't even wait until marriage now. Like how the Director was making fun of "the old ways" of waiting until twneties to have sex, a lot of people get made fun of right now. I mean, how often do we hear boys, and other girls, call girls "prude" or scared and stuff along that. So, we think we must do these things, which leads to younger and younger ages having sex. Scary to think that in maybe thousands of years sex won't even be important, it will just be an everyday thing that everyone who is "mature" (or older than five years old) will be doing.
And with the caste system also. You walk into school and you have all of your little cliques. Of course there's the jocks, the preps, the geeks, the goths, emo kids and whatever other labels you can think of. In movies and books, the preps are always perfect, pretty, smart and funny. And the jocks? Girls go crazy over jocks. This relates to the caste system in the book. The Alphas are the perfect ones, always look good and do good.
Huxley really does make you think. What if we continue like this? What if our future ends up with embryos being bottled? Now that I view it in this perspective, I'm actually beginning to understand the book. I'm still having trouble with the scientific parts, but I can kind of understand what Huxley is going to try to say throughout the book.
I'm glad I didn't give up with it. You can actually learn a lot from this book :)
