broad topic and many people have a say on this topic. Along with everyone else, the novel Brave
New World and the movie Gattaca contribute to this largely held conversation in a way.
Reading Brave New World makes one think about the society as well as the system in the book,
which is altered and opposes cultural thoughts and the ethical thoughts. The movie Gattaca
contributes by showing how the men work at Gattaca and how their world is divided into valid
and invalids, also by how newborn babies are altered into someone different from others. Both
the book and the movie have a caste system, separating them into classes just like finance
Although economists like to be systematic and have their own biases, education should
be a category and/or a topic on which they should be well-rounded meaning that they should not
think about the students as an experimental group. Students who attend school sit “hours upon
hours” following their teacher instructions and orders. This kind of system shapes the exercise of

which helps them in their area of work. Brave New World does not necessarily display this kind
of system but uses babies to alter them genetically as well as separate them into castes as well as
classes.Gattaca in a similar manner depicts the same alteration and displaying people as valids or
invalids. These separations although keep their world maintained but it does not necessarily
benefit them in any manner. “Humanities” is no such thing or topic in these two worlds since
their worlds are basically controlled by economists who “ignore”the fact that the real world runs
