    First of all family can be viewed in many ways. In Fahrenheit 451 the family´s do not love each other and are not real families.

    Should individuality and knowledge ever be suppressed? Some people might think so in order to create a more socially “equal” world. However if society were to act in such a way it would cause a major step back in the development that people have worked so hard to achieve. After all, isn’t it every country’s goal to find new advancements to better life in today’s modern civilization? In some parts of the globe there are governments that attempt to limit and control their country’s people both physically and mentally. Both Ayn Rand and Kurt Vonnegut imply how if these governments were taken to such an extreme level of totalitarianism it would crumble that government’s people in their stories Anthem and “Harrison Bergeron”.…

    Many have tried to picture a society that is completely equal; a society where its democratic government makes sure everyone follows the law. The short story, “Harrison Bergeron,” written by Kurt Vonnegut, focuses on establishing a society in which all citizens are equal in every which way; that is, nobody has a higher level of intelligence, attractiveness or wealth than nobody else. It is the year 2081 right after the addition of the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States to ensure that all citizens are equal in every possible way. In Vonnegut’s context, Harrison Bergeron, son of George and Hazel Bergeron, is a threat to what society is trying to control. Although the government tries to enforce total equality…

    The way a family works has changed in the last decade or two. Back when this generations parents were kids and even when their parents were young, it is very different than young people today. A perfect example would be the television show “Leave it to Beaver”, which aired in 1957. It was about the Cleavers, an All American Family, trying to keep their youngest son Theodore “Beaver” out of trouble. He always finds his way into trouble, at the end of the episode his parents always help him by giving him advice an good life lessons. That show represents how families were close and protected each other. Now, in the 21st century, many families and even communities…

    Since the creation of humans, the world’s inhabitants have needed human connections and family. Adam needed eve, a newborn baby needs his parents, the monster from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (1831) needed a family, and Michael from Michael by William Wordsworth (1800) identified himself by his love for his son, Luke. The way a child grows up and the involvement of his family plays a large role in the development of character and his outlook on life. If fathers and mothers did not leave, if siblings always took care of each other, and if there was no betrayal within home life, maybe the world would look significantly different than it does today. Although human relationships in general are a vital part to life, family relationships are the…

    I can connect with the article Close Relationships Sometimes Mask Poor Communication. My daughter and I the majority of the time do not communicate well together. I may say something vaguely expecting her to know what I am thinking or trying to say and she will take it the complete opposite and thinks I am dishing out some kind of attitude with her. My lifestyle is so busy I communicate and think in shortcuts and a lot of the time I guess I expect people to know what I mean without fully explaining the answer. In my observation over time, people seem to communicate better with strangers than they do with family members.…
