1) "religion drives us toward communism"-- in a way this is both true and false. Many people in this day and age, especially youth, have become less diligent about attending mass. Individuals have become less singular on who they vote for. Individuals no longer vote all democratic or all republican because they can vote for a democratic president while also voting for a republican senator. I think people are just being more liberal in a sense that they are no longer confined to just a singular option. The people want equality because that is the foundation of our government and how everyone should treat each other. So I think communism is meant more as social equality than economic equality.
2) "advances in technology require more regulations" -- Also Huxley insinuates that with each leap and bound through technological frontiers means people will buy product without even knowing how to use it or what the purpose is. For instance, iPods are relatively everyhwere but there are certain gadgets that the Ipod has the people don't know how to use. With new technology comes more responsiblity but people aren't really being responsible. If anything, technology has made it relatively easy for people to do illegal things, such as downloading music or hacking account and taking money. Yes, there should be more regulations but there aren't many so chaos will continue to ensue.
3) Birth-control- This is definitely something that has risen in the past few decades. Over population means productivity slows down because there are too many and too few jobs. People in BNW sleep around, a lot, so they must have contraceptives because a natural birth is seen in our world as a birth out of wedlock or even worse than that depending on the culture.
