What Will Ford Do Next?
Alright so maybe I was wrong last week about the Aldous Huxley’s views, but I still find it strange that someone would write about this stuff because it sounds pretty sick to me. However, that is just my opinion. So why do cultures create narratives? I am pretty sure it is just the simple fact that they want their culture and stories passed on from generation to generation. Can there be a different meaning? In Brave New World it states the “cleanliness is the next fordliness.” Now I believe that this means they are trying to incorporate what they understand from the past and they are creating their own narrative for themselves. I would not say they have technically passed the beliefs that Ford viewed on, but simply that they are beginning to worship him in the way he did his business. They believe that Ford was a perfect man and that his work was clean and precise and that it deserved to be honored for generations to come. Now in a way that life is created. The people believe that Ford was a perfect man and that he embodied characteristics which made him brilliant. They thought of him as the messiah, (which of course he is not) that was to be preached about for the generations to come. They believed that they could create a story that could be based off of morals that should be followed. It would corrupt the minds of the community and soon all would be directed to the beliefs of the new world. Human life would change as we know it and people would pass on false testimony to the upcoming generations. The story that they create will be one based off of production and how effectively things are able to be processed. Henry Ford would be their figure of worship and they will pass on stories to all people about the perfect person he was and how effect he created the world to be.

Why? Really who comes up with these ideas to write these kinds of things? I mean who wakes up one day and decides that I am going to write a book about creating humans in forms of 96 so that they are identical and not possess any different characteristics. Not only is this against my beliefs, but it is just straight up weird. Besides my believes, Aldous Huxley is trying to take everyone’s individuality away from them. People are supposed to be able to grow up and learn and be challenged how to do things. The way that they are grown up is a way of a robot and they are predestined in everything they do. Life is a gift and how can it be cherished, or actually how can a human being be cherished, if there are 95 others just like you? And what all the pleasures that came while having that baby? First you have that romantic night, then you go to the doctor to hear you’re pregnant, you wait 9 months, and then all of a sudden a human being is born. All that joy is all washed away. Now people get to see their children, or maybe someone else’s, moving along a conveyor belt as they go through their stages. And, the worst part about it is that really none of it is yours. It is directly placed into the government’s hands and out of yours. To tell you the truth I guess this is really all against my beliefs. I mean really is everyone really going to want to worship Henry Ford and what his assembly line created? Technically, we have the technology to do this today. Wouldn’t that be the day when there was the first human being cloned. Personally I think that Aldous Huxley is an idiot but I am excited to read his work just to see what he has to say.

Creationism into Schools Today
The subject that I am going to be talking about is putting Creationism into the curriculum for schools. I am all in favor with a free will and all; however, the religion that God bestowed upon this country was Christianity; contrary to what anyone thinks. One example for why I am in favor of this is for my beliefs. I was raised in a Christian home and have been going to church for 17 years strong. One of the struggles that we as Christians have today is that there are many false gods and many false religions. For this reason, schools are teaching their students falsely and not letting the Truth be spoken in schools. Evolutionism is something that some believe, but from what I have learned from my parents, I have always been a human and not a monkey. For example, quoted from the Bible in Mark 10:6, "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.” This verse tells me that my parents were right when it states that God made male and female from the beginning rather than some trilobite. My argument is not that evolution may become extinct from the classrooms, but that creationism may be added to the curriculum in schools all around the country. I believe that this will give the students of America to think about what they want to believe with or without their parents teachings. I will never look down on a person for their beliefs in their life. I will just struggle in realizing that not everyone has the same views as me and that I will always be able to accept them as a human being that God put on this earth for some special reason. While evolutionism is the only form of the beginning of earth in today’s curriculum, I believe that it is essential for the leaders of the youth around America to teach at an equal level and include Creationism into the curriculum. Some may be opposed to this idea; however, did not America start as Christian community?
