Are there any current situations in the world that relate to the novel?What are they, and how do they relate?Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved for "fixed"?
The world itself is slowly becoming a type of ‘Brave New World’. Today, many people are becoming like robots, turning away from the morals. In general, everyone in the world is craving for happiness. They want to be away from hardships and take the easy way out, and they don’t care whatever happens as long as they get what they wanted. It would be strange for someone not to have any desire at all, but, however, people are starting to desire for more than enough. For example, let’s say a kid wanted a toy car. Let’s say that he got his toy car on his birthday and as he grew up, he wanted an actual car. One day, he becomes a millionaire and buys his dream car. Once he gets the car, he wants to get the latest model of the car. He would buy it again and spend more money on cars. What I’m saying is that people today have way too much money and they don’t know how to use it. While they are wasting money, they lose their human qualities. They turn self-centered and don’t care about others. The novel doesn’t show any solutions to solve the problem, the expansion of dystopia. However, in the novel, through John’s struggle to fight against the Society, it is shown that if there is anyone who has a slight idea that something is wrong and has hope to change the world, then, dystopia can be changed and take a step towards utopia. Of course, the world never can be utopia, but it is possible not to be a total dystopia.

I agree with you about the world never becoming a utopia. It's impossible to even imagine the world as a utopia with all the wars and terrorism going on in all parts of the globe.
I liked the example you used about cars. It's very true that humans can become uncontrollably greedy. As I heard, in this world, there's enough for everybody but never enough for one greedy person.
