            The world in Brave New World thinks it’s perfect. They make all the babies in little test tubes and decide what the babies will be before they’re actually born. If they will grow up to work a boring job that uneducated people usually work, they will put alcohol in their test tubes to make the person be exactly the right amount of dumbness to work the job. Then, so the dumb person actually will like the job they’re working they condition them to like it. For example, when the babies are born, they sleep teach them. There are little speaker things that whisper things like “You love to do the boring jobs” over and over and over. Now because everyone is conditioned to be happy they now live in great society. Or at least that’s what they think.

            By raising children straight from the tube, they demolished the family structure. By assuring everyone’s happiness, they demolished any form of deep emotion. When Mustapha Mond is telling students how impractical emotion is, he relates it to a pipe, “’Think of water under pressure is a pipe…. I pierce it once, what a jet!’ He pierced it twenty times. There were twenty piddling little fountains.” The first jet is supposed to represent when society was still able to have emotions. They believe that emotions used to be prominent and that they would control they human mind. Like if a close relative dies, would you be able to work that day? Of course not because the emotion would hold you back. That is the one thing this new world does not want. But if you have twenty holes in a pipe, the loss of your relative won’t be such a big deal and you can work without error. That is the one purpose of this Brave New World. With productivity, the goal of a ‘perfect’ world draws ever nearer
