- there is an emphasis on music
- people are afforded little privacy
- everyone works for the good of everyone else
- they look down on other civilizations as if they are inferior
The best part of Brave New World is the health of the population. Most diseases are eradicated and people have instant access to ways to ensure their health. This is good because if a population is healthy they are able to worry about bigger issues. As Maslow identifies, an individuals wellness must come before anything else.
The worst part of Brave New World is the splintering of families. I think a comforting family unit is critical for human development. A family unit makes people become responsible and is needed for role modeling and teaching lessons to younger people.

I agree with your blog, and especially the part about family. As I read Brave New World I keep wondering where the children live and who takes care of them when they are not being conditioned. It would be strange to go through life without anyone to depend on and only have closeness with others while having sex.
i very much agree with your blog...i think that no having privacy is a big problem. i think it is a positive thing that no one has diseases....the other things that come with it are not exactly good...people were created to be unique and have different opinions it is sad to read about a world in which no one does...
I agree with the part about maslow. The society is formed so that you can reach your self actualization. Your comment about eradicating disease i agree but then when i think about it. Isnt disease natures way of making sure there isnt too many people. However i guess their bottle babies means they can control how many people on earth there are
