Brave New World formal speech

[mattman292]

For Ap LA, I have to make a formal speech either defending or condemning the World State. I want to defend it because I think it would be interesting to try that point of view, but I can't find any real good points. Any help would be appreciated. Also, if you have any real good insights condemning it, I would also welcome those.

Good choice! That's where I'd go as well.

Shouldn't be too hard to sell Utopia - free sex, mind-bending drugs, movies with real feeling, no hard work... Sure, things might have a bit of sameness about them, but from an existential perspective, Utopia is the place to be!

The condemnation comes from the lack of free will, but I'd trade a fair bit of free will for a peaceful, stable society with no poverty.
