I believe that we are totally heading in the direction of Adolous Huxley’s points in the Brave New World. Drugs have been a problem in society for so long, but the problem has gone up in the past couple of years. Drugs are being glorified throughout various sources including songs, social media, even through kids and teenagers at school. People are also on anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications, different kinds of tranquilizers. Various drugs are quickly becoming normalized and very popular. Also, society is making it seem as if happy is the only emotion you can feel. This makes more and more people use the drugs to contain or prevent any other emotion.
The media is also taking control of peoples lives. Some people can’t go 30 minutes without checking their phone. We take up our spare time by placing a device in front of our face for hours to replace our bordem. This definitely causes problems within people’s mental health. We experience things online that messes us up or even just spending so much time can affect us mentally. With social media comes technology. Different technology has been created and continues to be improved throughout the years. Cell phones, computers, printers, vehicles, software, etc. There’s prosthetic for people who need them. Pretty soon there will be real human arms with flesh and bones being created for a human. There’s operations for blind people who can make them see again or at least help them.
