So in both stories without these to influences neither Montag nor Wall-e would have realized something was wrong. Secondly we see the consequences of technology, in Montag society everyone stops socializing, it’s about the “family” which is the television shows. Their whole society is wrapped around the technology; the people around you barely notice each other. All that really matter to them is fun, a life doesn’t matter. This is shown to us very clearly when Clarisse gets killed by a reckless driver and Montag’s wife just ignores it, telling Montag casually about her death like it doesn’t matter at all.
In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the humans in the World State are conditioned to accept their fate and to love who they are and where they are. Most people are “born’ through the process of mass production. Leaders are not mass produced and therefore are able to do some independent thinking. Followers and performers are mass produced. They have thousands of identical brothers and sisters.
U.S.A. Patriot Act The founding fathers believed in civil liberties and paid the price for freedom. Freedom isn’t earned, it’s fought relentlessly and passed down for a new generation to be able to know what it’s like to be free. Is freedom a right or a privilege? Very few people can pay for it let alone handle it, it’s something that cannot be on a fine line or in between, you either have it or you don’t. I believe we take advantage of it because we are used to it and no one has been able to take it away from us, most of the people in the U.S. probably don’t know their full rights, the rights people before them died for in order to keep the future secure.
I don't even know what to say it's just like everything I do is just wrong in this family and honestly no one even cares about me they only care about me when it's convenient for them and I just can't deal with it anymore I'm tired of not being wanted unless there's something in it for everybody else. Mike yells at me for no reason and everyone excludes me from the conversation and most of the time I just want to leave. Mom and mike only ask annie and Mia what's going on with them and how they're so happy for them and so proud and then they just let me sit there and yet don't ask me anything or say any of that to me. Then mike gives me attitude or yells at me when I don't do anything but his kids could murder someone in front of his face and he would say congrats like are you fucking kidding me ? !
Despite Korea being a democratic nation, media surveillance resembles the dystopian society of 1984 by George Orwell. Orwell predicted that the society will come under a great surveillance, and that there will be no freedom granted for any individual.Though the society in 1984 operates like a communist nation, the limited freedom is similar to the current Korea. Not to the extreme degrees as Orwell predicted, but Korea’s limited media access and publication freedom limits citizens from achieving knowledge and gaining opportunity to hold individual thoughts. Orwell would thus lament such society, and encourage the people to advocate for the change to gain one’s complete freedom of speech. On the other hand, the concealment of the issues regarding politics more closely resembles the dystopia illustrated by Huxley.
Even though the utopia of “Brave New World” sounds perfect, it is far from it. In fact, it is the exact opposite. You would think that a world without problems would be great; “they get what they want, and they never want what they can’t get” as Mustapha Mond would say. With no desires for anything more than what you have, it is believed that you are happy. But if you look behind the ignorance you realize that everyone and everything is being controlled.

Couples can share a life of dreams, excitement and happiness. Many believe that marriage put women in higher risk factors for abuse and violence.

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
