Socratic Notes - Brave New World

In this book society is not totally perfect. There are humans who still want to go back to the way things were before. Even if you want to keep the composure it still will creep back in. This book is more applicable to this day in age than when it was published. We're starting to rely too much on medicine and technology. If you're head hurts you take a pill, if your stomach hurts you take a pill. We don't look at the ingredients we just take it anyways. Such as soma in Brave New World, they take it not even thinking about it. They rely on things like this when they do not need to. It can be helpful, but when you rely on it too much it can hurt you.
