There Is Equality Worth Fighting For Harrison Bergeron

Machiavelli has the most correct ideas on both controlling the people as a ruler and on being remembered as a great one. These two viewpoints had great influence during their time and for centuries to come, both with modern ideas and correct ideas even though they had a lot of contrast. Machiavelli’s The Prince may be thought of the more recognizable of the two in the present, but people in the present day have many of the same ideas that

What the general public does not know, in relation to the spread of the ideology enforcing toxic standards for masculinity, is the way. People do not know why men are expected to act in a violent way, they just assume that is has always been this way and as such they perpetuate the idea. People do not like to seem stupid, so even if someone does not know why something is the way it is, like why men should be violent, they still believe and understand it as a truth because they assume that is the way it has always been. Men in American culture have been using a system of values with no idea why for far too long. Their minds have been corrupted by an evil ideology that forces them to value themselves by how violent

It could be taken into account that he was trying to protect the government from everyone being different and conforming; however, in part 3, Burning Bright, Montag denied Captian Beatty the satisfaction of conformity: “‘Hand it over, Guy,’ said Beatty with a fixed smile. And then he was a shrieking

Jackson Katz’s film Tough Guise 2 seeks to expose how the media promotes a toxic ideology behind what makes a man masculine. For decades the print, television, videogames, and film have presented masculinity in a way that makes men think the only way to be manly is to be emotionally unavailable, sexually aggressive, and violent. This ideology has been a curse on culture in America and many other countries around the world. We're not living in the Wild West. We're not a Third World nation.

Vonnegut is warning the people how the government will make it seem like everyone will be equal to only fool us. The government does not meet the equality that everyone has placed in their minds because they have always been in control and do not want to lose that. The idea of equality is to respect one another by religion, race, and sex so, no one is powerful than any other individual. Once the government is able to see what the people mean by equality then that is the day equality will mean

The American dream is having equality, a voice to be heard and stability in one’s life. However, the American Dream is just that, a dream. It cannot be attained because of the power of our government, the ignorant minds of others and the constant want for more. What should be trivial factors in life, such as: race, gender, social class, wealth, etc., all have a significant effect on the impractical American dream. the “TED Talks” video proves this.

“but I felt rotten about it at the time and now I feel a lot worse.” Sheila said this because she actually felt really bad and to blame for this girl’s death unlike the rest of her family except Eric. People were put into social classes according to their wealth, jobs and success. The upper class families don’t care about others with low class and are shown to be more powerful at that time. The high class families always had the power even though they were the same as the others but more successful,

He explains his frustration and reasoning to oppose king 's views. Malcolm also explains his own view of how non-violent protest does nothing. If someone tries to hurt you, you have every right to protect yourself and fight for what you are entitled to have when the law falls

Political activist, Lillian Hellman once said, “For every man who lives without freedom, the rest of us must face the guilt.” People have to fight for their freedom even today. Not everyone has the same opinion, but everyone does have that responsibility. Saying, everyday people are just bystanders. Being a bystander doesn’t make the world 's opinion and stereotypes change in any way possible.

All this equality was due to…. the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.” However, this has a negative impact on the people because it is a forced equality.

The Electoral College (another words for as it stands) today, has become (another word for detrimental) to liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As an American citizen, it is our (another word for duty) to (another word for fight) for our right to fair representation. In a fair democracy, everyone’s vote should be counted equally but he method that the United States uses to elect its president using the Electoral College violates the

The backlash on the ruling is much warranted. I say this because if we took a national poll, the ruling would be that gay marriage would not be allowed. We live in a democratic society where the people "should" rule but as always, the government has the final say. Although I do agree with the backlash and understand why it is happening I still hold firm to my belief that they should still be allowed to marry. I believe this because if my neighbors who are both males were to marry each other, why or how does that influence or affect my life.

In the story “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut discusses the danger of total equality, In the year 2081 the United States government has added Amendments 211, 212, and 213 to the Constitution. Basically these amendments mean that no one man is better than anybody else and all people are now equal . I personally think that total equality is something not worth working for if the United States has to tortures its citizens. By reading the story you soon find out that there is no such thing as individuality or being different, in the story the beautiful people are forced to wear mask and the intelligent must wear devices that force each of them to lose their train of thought and last but not least the strong and graceful must be weighted down all hours of the day.

Imagine you live in a world where you are punished for being ever so slightly better than average, and anyone who wants to compete with their fellow citizens are handicapped in some way so that no one is superior. What would you do? Would you follow along like a helpless sheep, unable to speak your opinion? Would happiness and joy fill your mind because you’re afraid that everyone would shun you due to your incompetence, or would you fight for your right to be a unique individual who has their own strengths and weaknesses. In the story, “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut, jr., the main character, Harrison, did just that, he fought a corrupt government and tried to release the people from their torturous bonds.

Equality is a very controversial topic within the world today, and it is the subject of many debates. This state of mind is the reason for many protests and brawls among the various people of the United States. In a world full of this controversy, it is to be expected that many groups believe that they should be treated as equal to others. If this equality is not delivered, the consequences could be dire. In Dorothy Johnson’s short story “A Man Called Horse,” the main character changed in three ways: his abundant wealth, his outlook after being a slave, and his drive for equality.
