interesting is that I have found no articles written before the 1990’s on the gender issue in Brave New World. This could show how only recently it is becoming apparent to us in our society of a gender bias.

In “A World with No Laws”‚ John Jerger refutes Ralph Emerson’s thesis on self-reliance‚ by stating that “it would be disastrous if not impossible to base a society solely on such principles (self-reliance).” Granted‚ sometimes people need the constraints of laws and morality to prevent crime and harm. Nevertheless‚ it will also be a stagnant world if everyone in the society is a conformist. As Emerson says‚ “Every true man is a cause‚ a country and an age”‚ it is always people’s nonconformity
