Changez’ failed persistence to fit in and adopt the American culture causes him to waste many years of his life as an outsider. Likewise, it is only Jim’s willingness to change to causes him to gain acceptance in the American culture, although it is clear that he too is an outcast in his own unique way. Erica is consumed by her nostalgic past, and chooses to distance herself from society in order to live in her nostalgic past. While Changez works tirelessly to be accepted as an American, he is only ever recognised as an outsider. Changez’ continual determination shows us that he is never accepted by those around him.
As Guy Montag thinks about all that Clarisse stood for in her life, he realizes that the world cannot go on the way it is: with no value for life or nature. People didn’t care about starving countries, or deadly wars, or even real people. They were all blinded by an overly inoffensive atmosphere. Guy decides that he has to fix this, because Clarisse wasn’t like those people at all and she was the first person in years that he actually liked. He chooses to recruit the help of a retired professor in an attempt to open humanity’s eyes to the world around them, and all because of
1.The old locks and lack of guards in the palace of corrective detention indicate that they believed that they never needed to have improved the security because they never expected for someone to think on their own like equality 7-2521. Naturally everyone wouldn’t even think about escaping due to the precautions taken if they were found. Equality 7-2521 doesn’t care for this all he cares for and that drives him is to be with the council of scholars. That’s how it was so easy for him to escape he thought about it on his own he believes that every can think on their own an no one thinks for another this is what allows equality to excel in life. 2. Ayn Rand contrasts about equality 7-2521 and the collective government by saying “they or we”
Establishing an annual Buy Nothing Day punishes everyone for the few idiots’ problems. Not everyone has a problem with consumerism. Creating a day that ‘helps’ people tackle their overconsumption problems only helps a minority of the population. And overall, it is not the governments’ job to monitor citizens’ personal problems.
(page 52) The society all says the same thing because, at that time, the government wanted everyone to be “equal”. Society takes away the curiosity of what is beyond just their town. Keeping it the same means no change which can make your emotions stay the same. Montag is sad simply because he is never happy. People need to be bothered, not by self-inflated bubbles but by something important, something real.
There is no room for books in her life, and she ends up turning Montag in to the authorities. She is the perfect example of a mindless drone without individuality or feeling. Fahrenheit 451 is an example of a dystopian society. Individuality, reading, and intelligence aren’t accepted in society. Brown says, “As a result, society has become vapid, more interested in mindless entertainment than knowledge, understanding, and critical thought, and the ability to discern between two fundamental documents has no place.” Taking literature away did not make all people the same; it just made them without thoughts and feelings of their
Researching and finding out that "The law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, limited benefits, and any other term or condition of employment." Saying that it you cannot hire a guy who is clearly perfect and can do practically anything and refuse to hire the guy that is disabled and cannot do as much. Depression is also a major thing for people with disabilities. From the way that they are treated and made felt just puts them down mentally, and most of them can't or don't have anyone to talk to or that will understand. Having all of their problems and bullying being built on top of that makes it a lot easier to run into major depression.
The people who do this kind of work and make a career out of do not do it because of any fame or lucrative multimillion dollar contract that they are going to earn at the end of the season; they do it because they love what they do. Mental Health services is a job that requires no fiscal reward, no company cars, no company paid wireless phones and a lot of times there is not even an office, the work is done on the
Since everything is done according to the elders there is no way you can make a mistake in the community, so no discoveries are being made either. In Harrison Bergeron, the society is a distorted, dysfunctional dystopia. The people suffer greatly without knowing it because they cannot think for themselves. Society has gone wrong because advancements cannot be made, hope of a new ruler coming to set thing straight is gone, and the government lowers the standards to make everybody equal. Society becoming dystopia is an important subject because it is the one thing that people want to prevent from
The cemeteries are filled with people who have done just that, as a result managed to live a mediocre life without any or only glimpses of happiness, fulfillment and satisfaction. “Why do we try so hard to fit in, when we were born to stand out?” To those who who cannot afford to pursue their purpose, I respond, “you cannot afford not to follow your purpose if you want to live a truly happy and fulfilling life.” There is no other option, but to dig deep past your material conditioning and into your core strengths, to start a journey of self-discovery. No doubt there will be so-called failures or errors in your judgement, but this is all necessary to provide you the lessons needed in order to strengthen you and develop you into the person you will need to become for a life of leadership in your field. Imagine a life I now invite you to imagine a life where you are so excited, energized and fascinated about your current project or role, that sleeping becomes a inconvenience. Remember those days as a child when you were so joyous, excited and energized that you could just play all day and all night without any breaks for food or bed.
