Bradbury sensed this tension and the themes of his novel reflect his opinions on the issues that arose in this time period.

In contrast‚ Kershaw argues that this view is nothing but a fallacy. He

First‚ Rawls argues that this method creates “principles of justice untainted by differences of bargaining power or knowledge” (203).
