In this day and age, How would you feel about the idea of promoting promiscuous sex to children in their infancy? Well in "Brave New World" this is one of the things that are burned into the minds of young children. When i first read this it startled me because when introduced , there was a field of naked children learning to explore each other's bodies. I even had a little chuckle as a I read it. Because this idea is thought as immoral in our society, I have no doubt in my mind that it is a reason that people habe banned this book. I'm sure that the people who have banned this book read this chapter and were horrofied and disgusted by the idea of children having sex because they have most likely assumed that if other children read this book, then maybe they will start having promiscuous sex with other children just because they read it in a book.
In this chapter I learned of a World leader named Mustapha Mond, who is one of the ten world leaders. He spoke of how without strucurized breeding of people, there would be no stability in humanity. Allowing people to have and raise their own children lead to disease and war. I found this interesting because in a way it makes logical sense. By breeding people in science labs, you will take away the aspect of disease and war because retardations and diseases in the population will not be allowed to survive and the ideas of violence will be burned out of peoples minds. However this kind of society takes away other amazing azpects of life that to me would not be a fair bargain, but the idea is interesting.
