Does humanity really need to be improved? Has our society gotten so bad that we need to make changes that will supposedly make it better? There are definitely problems that need to be dealt with. We have a lot of violence, education problems, as well as other crimes in our society, but overall, I feel that humanity is doing pretty well at this point in history.

Both Fjermedal and Huxley have their own ideas about improvements that they feel need to be made to humanity. They think that by making these changes, they will improve our society greatly. Both authors presented outrageous ideas that I feel would hurt our society a lot more tha
