Brave new world 1

The government in the world state has created conformity by cloning humans and creatig them specialized toward their specific social class. They eliminate by having an almost spiritual reverence for technology. Their calendar is based off if when Ford invented the model T. They have transformed sexual activity into some recreational sport, comparable to golf. They have eliminated all individual rights by having a persons social class decided for them before they are even born. Although the people are content with their society, I believe that this is a distopia because there are no real feelings in this world. Human life is very undervalued, and the lack of true emotion is defenitly evident through some if the characters thoughts. We see an example of this in the passage where John basically sumataizes his feelings about this world that begins with "Mother, monogamy,romance" (41). These thing are the aspects o life that John believes this society lacks and needs.
