Because of the impact of the society and parents plus the evolution of new technologies, young people are less and less able to communicate face to face. Young people are losing the ability to socialize face to face because of parents and society. A few decades ago, parents and the society used to be more flexible about freedom. Nowadays, a lot of parents choose to “shortened the leash on their kids” by limiting their independence because they feel that it is the best way to protect their children from what is happening in the outside world such as child-abduction for example. Not only are parents stricter, but the actual society as well.
However, in Fahrenheit 451, a utopian society seems to have been reached. Perfection seemed to exist in “laws, government, and social conditions.” Compared to our modern world, this future seemed to be happier and their lives less chaotic. Humans have never liked laws because they give off a sense of restriction as well as authority. In the future, laws don’t exist and anything seemed feasible and within one’s reach. There was only a simple law, and that was to not read books as well as think, making “the mind drink less and less.” This doesn’t seem much of a sacrifice because society was filled with far more excitement than literature could offer.
“The preference upon the part of the refugee for plural leadership and decision” and “the resentment which succeeds the intrusion of strangers in relief leadership.” showed that people preferred to care for each other on their own instead then being instructed to do so, when they are left by themselves to do so. There always seems to be a sprinkling of the risk for belittling, or patronizing, for what makes them different. It removes the feeling of being civilized while caring for others that makes us act that way. “EMMA,” Emergency Managers Mutual Aid, born the fact that such services needed to be coordinated. Prince believed that the writings of a self-proclaimed “revolutionist” demonstrates that its the much more main- stream philosophy of a different era.
The fact that I do not have to report to someone about my day to day choices, or have particular rules to follow like they did in Wild Swans, makes me think how life would be if the my living was not as “privileged.” They feeling of having control over my own mind, actions, will and ultimately my own life is so relieving, a feeling those living in communist countries will never feel. Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China makes history come alive in a way that is impossible in newspaper articles or CNN documentaries. Because of it being written by the accused and a true story, it makes the story come alive even more, brightening the picture. We learn to care about these people, and through them we gain a new understanding of the tragedies the Chinese have had to endure in this century. I wish the people of China a better future in the years to
Edna is enchanted by M.R indpendence although MR lives a simple life with little money. Edna's new side that was coming out of her was puzzling certain around such as Mr pontieller as well as others. They were not understanding the way Edna was by the did nor know of any other way since they have lived this way for years and was taught to live this way.

Most people have a basic understanding of obedience; however, many may fail to see the application and the impact of it in their own lives and in our society. Submission into conformity discourages the type of independence that is valued in our supposedly free-thinking world. Censorship is one of the major themes in Fahrenheit 451, and its impact is illustrated through submission in appearance, behavior and thought. This invites us to draw clear relationships between Ray Bradbury‘s novel and our current society. The association between appearance and social acceptance is already apparent in our lives.
However, by the time that human realize their dependence on machines is no longer a choice, it has entangled with technology to a coexisting degree. When the machines pose their rebellion against human dictatorship, people refused to neither surrender nor destroy the machines due to being accustomed to the luxurious style of living, and their indivisible bond between them. Unfortunately, the machines persistence eventually leads them to succeed in their uprising. As a
He clipped pictures of is father from the magazines and rode the bus to look at his father’s sculptures when he was a child. This shows that Milo was obsessed with is father from the very beginning and is trying his best to somehow relate himself to the creations of his father, the sculptures. His father
The values of a culture will affect what people of that culture may see as acceptable and what is considered abusive (Iwaniec, 2006). Although cultural influences can greatly influence parenting, I did not see any glaring cultural contributors to the manner in which this mother neglected her children. The neglect in this family appeared more consistent with disorganized neglect. It appeared as though the mother lived from crisis to crisis, lacking the ability to rationalize. She was inconsistent with her children and focused on that which was most dramatic as opposed to what was most important to ensure the well-being and proper nurturing of her
(Malarek, 1978). These two articles stuck out to me because of the vast differences between the argument of women’s rights. In the first article it is argued that women aren’t even being recognized as people when is comes to purchasing a home. This is unfair because while we are now able to work in this time, our income doesn’t matter for the reason that that income could come to a halt due to our ability to procreate. Now in the other article, because of our ability to procreate we are afforded financial assistance as mothers, where men are
