Aldous Huxley

The current society that we live in today is full of problems such as world hunger, (as mentioned by Aldous Huxley in the respect of possible shortages in food due to overpopulation), war, and pollution. Can these problems ever be fixed? Are Aldous Huxley’s claims and views just around the corner? I believe that these problems will and already have taken great toll on the world. Immense amounts of pollution are leading to the greenhouse effect. Polar ice caps are melting and certain species of animals are becoming extinct. Millions of people die each year die due to shortages of food as stated by Huxley. Can you remember the last time you saw one of those commercials where an older man is holding a malnourished child in another country whom then asks you to sponsor that child? I personally see these commercials every time I turn the television on. If these problems are not corrected fast I do believe that humanity could someday evolve into a totalitarian world full of problems such as starvation and mind control.
