Though both set in dystopian futures, the societies in Brave New World and Matched vary immensely. To illustrate, Brave New World consists of a society focused on technology. A particular scientific method of egg fertilization serves as a foundation of the World State, as Huxley describes as a (1) “Major instrument of social stability” (18; ch. 1). This quotation shows that citizens of the World State rely heavily on technology before they are even born. On the other hand, the society in…

My school is diverse, and that in itself is new to this school. The first problem I am facing is our district’s drug policy and the young lady that was sent to the office because of a mysterious pill that was found in her possession that supposedly is for…
