A Brave New World

Although the beginning of A Brave New World is very interesting, I had a hard time getting into it at first. It's hard to picture a society that is so completely controlled that they genetically engineer humans to be exactly what they want them to be. Their society does not really reflect their motto: Community, Identity, Stability. Although they may have a sense of community within their caste, humanity as a whole is very divided. Everything about their identity is decided for them; their caste, the things they like and the job they will do. Yes, everyone may "know their place" in society, but if you don't allow people to choose these things on their own, there is no true sense of personal identity.Their society is stable only because everything is so carefully controlled. I would never want to live in a world like this. People are happy only because they don't know any better. They never have any opportunity to experience life's full potential.
