I think our society isn’t coming really close to becoming like the novel Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley, in the personal relationship aspect, in the Brave new world their personal relationships aren’t really considered relationships because they don’t have one person to stay with.

I believe that in today's society personal relationships are different than in the novel. In the Brave New World people don’t know any different because that is how they are brought up or programmed to be, multiple partners, no real commitment, they just basically have sexual attraction towards …show more content…

There are many different ways to date, specifically more on who you date.

It’s all based on individualism and personal preference. If people were not allowed to be their own individual I feel like things would or could most definitely become like the Brave New World, but until then it wouldn’t even be close to the way they have their personal
