Progression In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World

Brave New Progression

Imagine where happiness is the only option, this is an example of how progression can go bad, but it can also be advantages to society and humans all together. In the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, a science fiction book about a perfect utopia where the norm for everyone 's is to being happy going out having fun, popping soma ( a happy drug), and having sex. Then it all changes when a man named Bernard goes against it all to get deeper feelings and more meaningful life. This is all do to progression. It can be seen everywhere in the book most obviously in their technology, culture, and society. As you will see like Benard did all of this progression has its drawbacks that follows them as well.
