BNW vs. Our World Today

Similarities between BNW and America today are amazing. The fact that a man who wrote about the future in the 1930's and made so many real connections is astounding. In BNW the people travel by helicopter, have sex with multiple partners, buying products just to own them, and live in total ignorance. They act like children, point taken that they are supposed to but it is still aggravating. In America today, not everyone travels by helicopter. However, the wealthy do travel by private jet or vehicles that use up so much gasoline that they might as well be a helicopter. The subject of sex in America and how people choice of sexual partners comes up often, the fact that one person is having sex with up to 3 people at a time and each of those people are having sex with 3 people and so on, it is as bad as BNW and how everyone belongs to everyone. Sex in America has just become a habit, as it is in BNW, and it is out of hand. Although in BNW, people are much more capable of refraining from becoming pregnant, there method of birth control should be taught to grade school girls in America before they drop out to raise a family they do not need. Another similar factor is the want to buy meaningless merchandise just because it looks cool or fun. The fact that both BNW inhabitants and Americans buy merchandise, break it and then go out and buy a new one instead of repairing it is just wasteful. The last similarity is the complete ignorance in which people live their lives. BNW people are raised to be that way; they are raised like babies their entire lives. However, Americans should be able to mature and grow into responsible adults that can make proper decisions instead of ruining their lives. It is simply amazing how dense people can really be when making a decision that will affect them for many years to come.
