Equality is agreeably something the world should be pursuing, but should we have total equality? Should everyone be the same in order for it to be fair? Kurt Vonnegut’s short story, “Harrison Bergeron” describes a world where there is total equality; everyone is the same. The story takes place in 2081, where amendments have been added to make everyone the same. Those who are stronger, faster, smarter or beautiful wear burdens to bring them down to the same level as the rest of society. No one is better than anyone else. Harrison Bergeron show’s the world that people should not be equal in attributes, they should have equal rights.
