In modern society, political correctness is the main concern surrounding today's discussions. Rather than promoting educational discourse and debate, people are encouraged to adhere to the status quo. As a result, this creates a hostile environment for those who have differing opinions and stifles individuality and curiosity as it discourages exploration of topics that are deemed socially taboo. These quotes demonstrate instances in the novel in which curiosity or open discourse about topics were discouraged or outright eliminated. As a parallel in today's society, there are social justice warriors rampant on social media and in real life as well who promote political correctness by censoring everything deemed remotely offensive. This effectively conditions people not to be curious or speak about subjects deemed socially unacceptable for fear of being ostracized.
