Ayn Rand

there was a single moral principle that all humans lived by; All are equal ––anything or anyone who does not follow this principle was a transgressor. The dystopian society’s definition or psychology of sin is an extreme inverse reflection of what Ayn Rand felt the idea of collectivism was doing to Humanity. Equality’s eventual assessment of his sin is correct, because no person is morally obligated to any other person. He is essentially the heir to the transgressor, who used the…

Imagine a world where one cannot fail nor excel, create nor break boundaries, and love nor hate any one person more than another. Evil and good intentions are tightly woven in Ayn Rand 's Anthem, the story of Equality 7-2521, a man cursed to constantly question the world around him. His city is built on the foundation that all people "exist through, by and for our brothers who are the State" (21). The novella is set in a totalitarian future, but lacks the futuristic ideas that similar stories…

The Rules of Collectivism Ayn Rand was a Russian-American novelist, who migrated to the United States in 1926. Ayn Rand used objectivism throughout her novels, which is a philosophical belief that makes one’s individuality look wrong. Ayn Rand told the Soviet authorities that her visit to the United States would be short, but ever since then she never did return to Russia. The most autobiographical of her novels “We the Living”, was based on her years under Soviet tyranny. She published the…

Two stories that are alike Anthem Ayn Rand and Giver Lois Lowry are alike and different in many ways. Anthem is about a boy named Equality 7-2521 and how his life is controlled, but that does not stop him from doing the things he wants to achieve. Giver is about a boy named Jonas becoming the next receiver he is controlled by his parents, and the Giver. Jonas realizes that through his dreams the giver is giving him, that life should be like those loving, and caring. Both of these stories are…

allowed to branch out and explore science and technology. That is why we are technologically advanced unlike the totalitarian society in Anthem. Equality 7-2521’s society was primitive because they were not allowed to be individuals. In the novella by Ayn Rand, individuality is used to show why science and technology is controlled by a totalitarian society. All of the citizens of the collectivist society in Anthem were denied individuality. The rulers of the society made thinking and inventing…

In Ayn Rand’s novel Anthem, the world she describes has each freedom taken from the characters and all they have is hardship and hard work for all their fellow brothers in the cities. Forced to follow the world council's rules, Equality 7-2521 tries to fit in with his fellow brothers, but when finding a tunnel from the unmentionable times he fails to follow the rules of his brother men and creates a great gift to man before getting run out of the city to the uncharted and unexplored forest. A…

What do I want most in life? You can’t want something and not work for it. There are sacrifices and long journeys you need to make so you can be close to where you want to be. The books we reviewed are Anthem by Ayn Rand, ‘Emancipation Proclamation’, ‘Prometheus’. We also listened to an audio that went into a deeper meaning of what critical thinking is and had a Socratic Seminar. Everyone wants different things, but I want to succeed. First, in Anthem, Equality wanted something: to be…

In Anthem, Ayn Rand displays how the effects of stringent government control deviates from contemporary society. Rand exposes perils that coincide with the deprival of singularity individuality. The citizens in Anthem live in a dehumanized state and exist in a dystopian society that is comparatively impractical. Based on substantial context in Ayn Rand’s Anthem, the imposition of compulsory coherence, restriction of prior knowledge, and forbiddance of love do not correspond with reality.…

This was the only regard of what incident happened before the new world and society of anthem, alluding to a previous intentional revolution. Ayn Rand, who grew up in the Communist dictatorship atmosphere of Russia, understood how these power-hungry rulers could stifle anything from becoming better. The “Evil Ones” understandably were the inventors, scientists, authors- the intellectuals. The leaders…

It all started in the black hole. Equality 7-2521 discovered the astonishing old iron grill top and realized he had to explore the world underneath. During his exploration, Equality found himself breaking the rules. He thought up and created a box, nothing really special. Equality made the box itself special once he realized his invention could impact the world, but he kept the amazing creation to himself, knowing no one would believe that a street sweeper could be an inventor.…
