Due to experiences reading these two books, Uglies and Harrison Bergeron, one might infer that there is no hope for society. Humans are getting strict ideas of what “pretty” needs to look like on the inside and out. Society is on a downhill slope and there’s no coming back. Evidence from Harrison Bergeron states, “Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything, except in short bursts” (Vonnegut 21).

That might change the outlook on society for many, but not some. The future of our generation is promising due to children learning what beauty truly means. We cannot judge people by how much money they have, what they wear, or who they hangout with. If the society would start now, the world could be on a definite path to success.
