soo, the other day I decided to mess with my mom and play dumb. She would say, "do the dishes," to that I would respond, "what are those?" this started to get really funny for me, but more so annoying to her. She finally needed someone to pick my sister up from practice, our conversation led on to her saying, "please pick her up, she is your family." Ironically I replied, "whats that?" Although joking, i could not help but later realize the way society is being portrayed in A Brave New World. Family is non-existant, people have no love, and promiscuity is the normal thing to participate in. There is major manipulation to their society, that up to this point, no one can prove it. Personally I don't like the ways of the people of the novel. That is a dirty, loosy goosy, wrong way to live.
The passage exemplifies the societies view on how they should be run. Productivity is key. The wheels must turn for the society to function. By "pre-programing" embryos to funtion at a certain brain level/capacity everyone can function to produce a common goal, productivity. Eliminating family, love and good friendships, society can function at a higher greatness because there is no distraction from work and production. Do you sense a common theme... PRODUCTIVITY!! Ford, inventor of the assembly line is predominant in the lives of the people. All that is to be achieved and completed is work made through 100% efficiency.
