Education, and the wisdom gained from it, is the base of the very society we live in today. Since the beginning of time we have slowly advanced our ideas and evolved to our present world now through innovation. This novel tells a story of a time where books will be burned and be replaced by television.
Marisa Carroll Harris Senior Honors 3rd 5 February 2013 From Perfect Happiness to Realization In 1932, Aldous Huxley wrote A Brave new World as a warning and prediction for generations to come. 75 years later in today’s society, we are well on our way to transforming into the nightmare that Huxley predicted. Life has changed so rapidly because of the dangers of imperfection. As today's hedonistic society strives for perfection and happiness, people are dehumanized and robbed of their moral values that match Huxley's fears of society in A Brave New World. The life of a World State citizen begins in a bottle.

Accusations of doctors over diagnosing the condition and over prescribing the medications used to treat it have been circulating for years, but there is really no evidence to support the allegations. Researchers believe that the increased use of ADHD medications reflect better diagnosis and more effective treatment. Other reasons for the increase may be due to an elevated prescription rate for girls who are now more often recognized as having the condition and changes in the special education legislation that took place in the early 1990’s.
