The main portrayl of chapter 3 in Brave New World is about control over the cities people. It explains in this chapter how much control there is, for example, people do not have their or "minds or thoughts" technically because since they were only a fetus technology has installed their control of knowledge into them.
When it comes to family, the book seems to hold to the fact that the meaning of family is superficial and non-existent. To show this, the character Mustapha Mond was explaining to the alphas that they should “Try to imagine what ‘living with one’s family’ meant” and “They tried; but obviously without the smallest success.” (meaning they tried family). It is clear that the alphas are consumed by the idea that a family is not necessary or even condoned to be with the same few people throughout their entire lives.
