The leadership at Mattel was either arrogant because of the success of Barbie or the were not paying attention to current times; “Changing cultural views about the role of girls, women, sex, marriage, and women working in the last decades shifted the tastes of doll buyers.” (Jones, 2013) Just as the case study mentioned I too think that they were stuck in the mindset of “if its not broke don’t fix it.” This crippled the sales of the doll and when they saw the out come it was too late to fix the problem. They failed at every attempted and Bratz continued to take over the doll market. Mattel was at the top of the mountain when it came to selling dolls for nearly 50 years so there was hesitation to change what had worked for so long. Mattel figured that if they altered the way she looked, dressed, and accessories that parents and kids would not continue to purchase the doll. This backfired on the company and they franticly did everything they could to match what Bratz was selling to their old customers.

The Brave New Neverland Growing up means learning from getting hurt, taking on responsibility, and losing childhood innocence. In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the people of the World State never seem to grow up and lose their childhood innocence. They work as adults but outside of work they are permitted to act like children with no responsibilities and drugs that take care of any unpleasant emotions.

In the World State no one really grows up because the World State wants everyone to be happy and not experience pain which means no one loses their innocence.

Simply, they are out of the box careers such as fashion photographers, copywriters, wedding planners, radio jockeys, Dj’s and food reviewers. Most people do not opt for unconventional career choices, as they are refuted to be out of the norm or unorthodox , even “rebellious.” The sole reason they have become unconventional is due to the misconception of society or mainly our elders. You see, when they were growing up, they were not given or had the exposure to the vast possibilities to which we have today. Parents force their ideals and aspirations onto their children.What their kids desire is never taken into consideration. Hence, when we choose a path that is not parallel to theirs, that is to say the choice of an unconventional career, they panic and tell us otherwise, embedding in our minds that the such choices might be a blight to their future.
