“What is not thought by all men can not be true” (Rand, 73). This is one of the most hallowed rules in anthem’s society. Citizens of this society are forced to act and think in the exact same way from birth. Individuality is lost due to lack of original and free thought. People simply existed under the orders of the Council and the thoughts share with their “brothers”. For this reason, society is extremely technologically primitive. Ideas of creative individuals are needed to make technological…

A plethorabig percentage of people in the world follow the road most traveled and do not deviate from that path. They try so hard to “fit in,” and be like everybody else. For example, when a brand of shoe is trending, like Nike, everyone buys Nike shoes so they are “accepted” in the public eye. Another example is when people take pictures of their food and post it on social media for “likes.” These examples of uniformity happen everyday in our society, and eventually people start to look,…

“We have begun to live in a reality where comparison and competition won't make us succeed”- anonymous. Society has two ways the “right” way, which is fitting in and by fitting in it means being like everyone else or the “wrong” way being an individual but being looked at different.

He satirically exemplifies how the government creates a false sense of security and stability through the parody of the French Revolution Tripartite mantra of…

World, the meticulous labeling of every man, woman, and child gets attributed as “one of the major instruments for social stability” (Huxley 2006: 7). The society not only benefits, but relies on the groups constructed through Bokanovsky’s Process. The entire world’s production is only possible through “standard Gammas, unvarying Deltas, [and] uniform Epsilons” (Huxley 2006: 7). Their labels force them to conform to the roles they have been given. In a totalitarian society, this is an ingenious…
