A Brave New World was a very interesting book and definitely made me think a lot about the future, as did all of the books we read this semester. I think it's important to take a look at our society and where it is heading. It's also important to look at our culture and examine the problems. For our final group project my group chose the topic of "somatization" of contemporary society. We as Americans have a pill for almost any problem you could possibly think of. In our group we discussed the effects of using drugs and alcohol to cushion any discomfort we may feel instead of dealing directly with our problems.
