Promiscuity

Today, the modern world represents a great unbalance and can be seen as unstable. Society is separated by growing technologies and personal beliefs. Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley and published in 1932, describes a society that is based on three words; Unity, Stability, and Identity. These three principles create the Utopian (perfect) society setting that citizens could only wish for in 1932. Brave New World describes eugenics, pharmaceuticals, love and marriage, and technological…

values that the mother tries to implant within the daughter. The values range from the ability to have self-worth to the importance of ironing a crease on a blouse. Throughout this story, the mother teaches the daughter how to live a life without promiscuity by calling her out; for instance, “on Sundays try to walk like a lady and not like the slut you are so bent on becoming” (Kincaid 56). This quote exemplifies the values of self-worth and respectability. Similar to this value, others are…
