Censorship In Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron

The next quote i'm explaining is: "We are living in a time where flowers try to live on good flowers, instead of growing on good rain and black loam". This quote is from Faber in part 2 of the book. This quote is telling us that in their time, humans are living of the things and ideas are imposing to them by other humans usually authorities, and not from the rich knowledge their ancestors and knowledge provided. This is because of the banning of the books. Which relates to the same as the past quote, book censorship affected in many ways and aspects human society and ways of living in the

They stop the desire to learn by censoring the tools they use to do just that such as books, news, entertainment, the internet, and even communication. Literature is an incredible tool that can take people to so many places and give them so many ideas. That’s why so many governments censor literature so that their citizens aren’t able to think for their self and oppose other ways of thinking. In history there are many instances that governments censor literature out of

So overall I feel an equality feminism approach would be the best way to go at trying to put an end to sexism. Of course it would not be easy to tackle any problem as big as sexism, but this is a step that must be take. It will have to show everyone of the world that just because one is a different gender it does not make them inferior to that of the other sex. This is something that a differential feminism approach would not fix, because then it would still lead people to believe men and women are not equal. So that is why I believe the best approach to end sexism is by taking an equality feminism

Depending on which way one may view a certain circumstance, everyone is a victims of censorship. Unwillingly volunteering our free thinking by a superior influence. Do people feel that we need to endure censorship? Over the course of the novel Fahrenheit 451, we see how censorship adapts one 's behavior. The public are banned from owning or reading books, there are many reasons for why people are so averse towards books and submit to the government.

Fahrenheit 451 –Analytical Essay There are a few common aspects of the setting of Fahrenheit 451, a book by Ray Bradbury and today’s society. Just like any books being burned in Fahrenheit 451, our government holds certain information as classified and does not let it out to the general public. Both societies use censorship as a way of limiting knowledge. Oversight and surveillance continue to be allowed at an alarming rate and was a part of Bradbury’s concerns. Fitting in and being "normal” or mainstream are not as accepted in either setting.

To not see a black or white person also takes away from our diversity and is just as harmful as racism. We don’t want to live in a world where everyone is the same. We want to live in a world everyone’s race is known and respected. We overcome that by education people about other people culture. Only education of other people’s culture will help to understand that there is more then one normal and to know label anything nonwhite as ethnic but to merge everyone together.

So, if people were not subordinate, there’d be no need to seek rewards or avoid punishment. This would allow people to break the law, not follow simple instructions, and break any rules set upon them. Further, this would stop them from doing their job or behaving correctly if there were no rewards or punishments. However, complete obedience may not be beneficial for society either. If every person in society did everything they were told to do by a superior, the results would most likely turn out not as expected.

This signifies that people weighed down by handicaps recognize that should they wish to establish themselves at the top of society’s hierarchy all they had to do was remove their handicaps, like Harrison. This would result in their intellectual and physical superiority to others—in other words they would gain the potential to rule the world. Nevertheless, despite their full realization of what is happening in their society, no one objects to the system of oppression. In fact, it is the heavily handicapped George, not Hazel, who points out the importance of the handicapping system. He says “If I tried to get away with it, then other people’d get away with it-and pretty soon we’d be right back to the dark ages again, with everybody competing against everybody else.

Tolerance Doesn’t Exist Barbara Johnson once stated, “ We as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.” Society should at least put an effort in accepting others despite the fact that one might like only a few out of a hundred people. That is exactly the problem. Some people can’t put an effort into simply enduring the fact that not everyone is going to be just like them. The first step to acceptance would be understanding. Society will never understand what one has gone through; yet, it still has the nerve to point out and criticize everything wrong about someone just by their appearance.

The better you are, the more disabilities you have. “Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence which meant she couldn't think about anything except in short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a mental handicap radio in his ear.” So now that everybody is equal, they think their life is good and nobody gets mistreated or treated better than anyone else. In fact, the equality is a law and you would have consequences for trying to
