Aq dystopia is the exact opposite of a utopia: it 's citizens are forced to conform to uniform expectations by the government, their thoughts and actions are always restricted and under constant surveillance, and propaganda is heavily used to persuade citizens that society is perfect.

In “Harrison Bergeron” the citizens’ thoughts are controlled and maintained by the government as well. In contrast to these two stories, The Purge: Anarchy is a dystopian movie that takes place in…
