Brave New World chapter 3

A) Sex, Monogamy & Romance
They treat sex as though it is a game and they do not believe in monogamy or romance because they believe that every person should be able to have every other person they desire without consequence.

B) Sports
They believe that the only purpose of sports is to increase consumer production and consumption to further advance their economy.

C) Entertainment
Like sports, all their forms of entertainment serve the purpose of advancing their economy by proving more products for the consumers.

D) Parenthood
Parenting does not exist for them. They view it as a cause of weakness in humans who cannot be coddled.

E) Materialism
For them, it is a part of everyday life and it is expected of them to be materialistic because that is their norm.

F) Religion
Their only religion is their worship of the founding father of their society known to them as Ford.

G) Intoxicants
Similar to materialism, this is considered to be a natural part of everyday life for them and they are expected to exercise them.


The State came to be as it is because of the efforts of the one known as Ford. Ford first presented his ideas for the perfect society, including the cast system, to the government in England at the time but was rejected by them and most of society at that time therefore decided to build support and wage a war to become ultimate ruler so that he could establish his ideas as truth. He waged war for nine years and then realized that brute force was not the answer. So he decided to eliminate his competitors by completely extinguishing them through chemical warfare. After he eliminated them, Ford used different means of propaganda to become ultimate leader and once in power whipped out all knowledge of history in art and books and set up his own society where e brain washed humans into complete obedience.
