The intelligence-increasing surgery that Dr. Nemur and Dr. Strauss performed lowered Charlie’s quality of life by decreasing his social activity, and lowering his enjoyment of life with constant over analyzation. The temporary time period in which Charlie received complex intelligence did not justify his mental and physical deterioration.

It has been commonly assumed that high level cognition (brilliance, genius, giftedness) is a male-dominated trait. The earlier children accept this notion the more likely this will be carried through school and into a career. Career aspirations of young men and women are commonly shaped by gender related norms. Such that males are stereotypically better at math than females which deters women from entering technical fields or getting upper level degrees in fields where the students are…

Charlie Gordon , in Flowers For Algernon, had the vision that intelligence would help him fit in and become happier. So, when Drs. Nemur and Strauss asked him if he was willing to have this surgery that will triple his IQ of 68, of course he agreed. However, now,…
