The characters in Brave New World took soma blindly with out knowing that the government was actually controlling them with soma intake. The drugs that we have now that are similar to soma have some advantages, like the things effects soma had, but they are also incredibly dangerous. These drugs are not supported for use by the masses because of all the side effects they have. If these drugs were taken as the people in Huxley’s world took soma, they would have serious psychological and physical defects. Drugs should not be the answer for all of or problems. If people want to relax, they should take a break or create schedules for themselves so that they do not become stressed by their overwhelming workloads. To concentrate, one should remove themselves form situations where they know they cannot concentrate. If you get distracted studying in the library, then go to a study room in the library. And for the sense of confidence, you should work on building up self-esteem. Drugs do not provide the answers to problems, they create false senses of identity that hide how your brain is telling you how to behave and feel.
