The Giver In A Dystopian Society

"The giver" takes place in a dystopian society where everything is regulated, no one does or says anything without the Council knowing; Their jobs, spouses, and children are all chosen for them, everything is on a schedule everyone is on a routine, get up go to work come home eat sleep repeat every single day. There is no time for recreation or anything of the sort.

In some ways this is superior to our own society, perhaps it would be better to suppress certain emotions of the human psyche. We evolved from hunter gatherers who have certain emotions that might help in the wild like greed, and stress, but in a civilized society they don't really help us at all.
