Animal Farm Anticipation Guide Responses
Animal Farm Anticipation Guide Responses
1. All people are created equal.
I disagree, because I do not believe that everyone is created equal. Some people are born with disadvantages in the social field, while others are blessed with almost every characteristic that our modern society considers “perfect”. The socially disadvantaged people have to go through their entire lives dealing with judgement from everyone, and it is not their fault. I do believe that at birth, everyone is completely equal, but it is as they are growing up the the social inequalities come in. Society judges them for being who they are, and creates those inequalities.
2. Society would be improved if everyone earned equally, and wealth was distributed equally.
I agree that society would be improved if everyone earned equally, because then there would be no more people suffering from poverty, and our economy would soar. No one would be better than anyone else (in the terms of salary) and everyone would be happy. People could spend less time trying to make money, and spend more time with their family and friends. Our society would be much more prosperous, and everyone would be happy. There could possibly even be less wars because people are too busy enjoying themselves.
3. We should tax those who earn more according to their ability, and distribute wealth evenly to others according to their need.
I disagree, because I do not believe that it is fair to force people to pay higher taxes just because they are wealthy. I also do not agree with the idea of evenly distributing wealth to people just because they need it. Money is a luxury that should be earned through hard work, not distribution. If the money is going to be dispensed freely, everyone should receive the same amount, no matter what their need is. This will make society more fair and everyone will be equal.
4. Talented, intelligent, and ambitious people are the most qualified leaders because they know best
