According to Mond, beauty is dangerous because it makes people happy and happiness is not allowed in their society. I personally don't agree with him because beauty doesn't actually necessarily make people happy. The price that must be paid for social stability is sex.

Mond argues that beauty is hazardous because it makes people happy, and in their society, happiness is not acceptable. He may be right, but beauty doesn't always translate into happiness, therefore I disagree. Sex is the price to be paid for societal stability.
