Relationships In Brave New World

Improved Essays
People may say that relationships are going down the drain, but, that’s not the case. In Aldous Huxley’s book, Brave New World, there are no such things as ‘relationships’ and ‘everybody belongs to everybody’. People in the Brave New World are promiscuous anyone they want, in fact, they are encouraged to be promiscuous. People don’t have to worry about different kinds of consequences in the book because there no consequences to be worried about. In our world; promiscuous teenagers, divorce rates, and infidelity are decreasing. There is no chance that our world is going to be like the ‘Brave New World’ anytime soon. Notably, in today’s society, it may seem that teenagers are indulging in promiscuous activities. In reality, it’s actually decreasing.
