We've all been out in public and seen an unruly child out with their parents. The child is running all over the place, breaking things, being rude to other people around, and just generally causing a scene. Do we blame the toddler for their actions, disruptive as they may be; or is it the parents that we look to?

‘All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects” (Huxley 54). Imagine a world free of famine, war, and a sense of identity all thanks to a controlling government. In “Brave New World” the man made and enforced caste system parallels and juxtaposes societal struggles of communism, through themes of suppression and control, as a means to expose the injustices in a suppressed society. As Deevy beautifully put the Marxist struggle is,”The age old cry of envy swelling from…

Close your eyes, and picture that there are no trees or trees seeds on earth, imagine that the air looks like smoke, and you can only see ¼ mile. Every day you have to buy air. This would be the world if we had no trees, like in the book “The Lorax” by: Dr. Seuss. Industrialization, urbanization, and globalization all will make this make-believe world a reality, and all the pros and cons that come with it. Industrialization is a crucial theme in the story “The Lorax,” without a…
