Many have argued that teaching Aldous novel in both inappropriate and immoral as others contend that the novel is both timely and prophetic. In my opinion‚ I do not support the idea of teaching the Aldous novel especially since it is teaching promiscuity as being a virtue.

Thus‚ when rumors began to emerge about a type of violent cancer that only affected the gay community‚ both the gay community and stereotypically heterosexual society tried

The author is — we are told by the dust jacket — an "openly gay professor": who has turned his attention to the lives of gay people in American and to the ethical issues raised by society’s perception and treatment of gays. This "timely book‚" it is said‚ will prompt Americans to consider whether they have consistently applied their basic values to lesbians and gays.

This ‘new world’ is built on sexual promiscuity‚ abolition of family‚ racism‚ and drug abuse in the most literal sense. A world which takes the positive aspects of Western society such as technological advances and individualism and turns it into a rigid caste system‚ in which the members of each caste are mass produced to the specifications of assembly line uniformity.
