Our society is a few steps away from that of “Brave New World” in the way that our commitment towards one another is diminishing. In the novel written by Aldous Huxley, “Brave New World”, they have a standard for all ladies and gentlemen to be romantically and sexually open to more than one person. Not only is that the case, but the reproduction procedures are changing when compared to how they would have been decades ago.
Commitment. You might think of a person and how they respond when coming across obstacles that interfere with their goal. Will they keep reaching for their goal or will they surrender in defeat? The type of commitment others seemingly talk about is the whole husband and wife in similarity with boyfriend and girlfriend. Over the past decades, research has shown that the marriage rates are decreasing. America has officially hit an all-time low when it came to marriages when compared to all of its history.

The only major differences between the two are that in today’s world, they are all married where as in the novel, they are not. Also, our society is not accepting it as a majority whereas their society encouraged it. (Allen,
