The idea of Romance, sex and monogamy in the book a Brave New World is completely different than in our own. It is discouraged to have only one sexual partner at a time, and that you should have a relationship with more than one person at a time, as this keeps people from forming to close a bond with one another. The idea of Romance is completely discouraged, and is considered an abomination. It is widely considered unthinkable, to give yourself to one person, instead, as it is put, they are supposed to give themselves to everyone.
Sports in Brave New World is also completely different than in our world. In our world, sports are a form of entertainment and enjoyment, while in thier world, it is merely a method to create more jobs; it must be complex in order to increase the society's production.
In there world, the concept of entertainment is different then ours; almost all there "entertainment" takes the form of porn and sex. They do not engage in other types of entertainment, games or anything other than sex and porn.
The society from A Brave New World also believes that Parenthood is up to the state and children staying with "parents" is absurd.
there seems to no real materialism in this world, as they lack the freedoms that created materialism. Everything is for the state; there is no time to worry about their material posesions.
There is absolutly no religion, and is viewed as utterly ridiculous, wheras in our world, religion is the most important thing in billions of peoples lives.
Also the view of intoxicants is completely different. While most here think they are negative and derode your mind, in thier world it is perfectly acceptable to use it, in fact it is encouraged.
