Please read Chapter 3 of Brave New World and answer the following question. Answers must be posted by November 1 to receive full credit.
In Chapter 3, we begin to learn about how the World State. Please explain how the following areas are different in the World State as compared to our world in 2009.
A) Sex, Monogamy & Romance - Everyone belongs to everyone else. There is rarely any monogamy. In fact, if you stay with a person too long you're not doing the right thing.
B) Sports - Sports must be complicated and require a lot of equipment that must be purchased to support the materialistic ideas of World State.
C) Entertainment - For entertainment, they go to the "Feely's" and watch and feel movies.
D) Parenthood - Parenthood is utterly disgusting to them. Babies are raised by the state. The idea of having a monogamous couple raising you is unsatisfying to them.
E) Materialism - They believe in buying new things rather than fixing old ones in order to support their economy.
F) Religion - They don't really practice religion. They idolize Henry T. Ford because he created the assembly line.
G) Intoxicants - They've created a drug that has all the good effects of drugs and alcohol without the after effects. It's called Somma and everyone is on it.
Finally, to the best of your ability, provide a brief history (a paragraph) of how the World State came to be.
