Perfection is not sameness, it requires being diverse and unique. If the whole world was intelligent, the universe would collapse because everybody would be the same. But some people do not realize that it is better to be yourself than changing yourself to be someone else. In the novel Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, the main character, Charlie changed who he was by getting an operation to make him smart but nothing good came out of it. He was very lonely afterwards and he lost his friends and his job, which led him to become depressed. This is why I believe that the operation is a bad idea. I also believe this because in society, there would be no room for all the intelligence that people have, people should stay who they are and be themselves, and in the world, people would have less motivation to learn and they would be depressed and lonely, just like Charlie. One thing that makes me believe that the operation is not a good idea is that there would be no room for all the intelligence that people have. The ideas that some people have would be thrown away because there would be too many ideas with everybody being intelligent. There would also be too many of the same people in the world. When Charlie got more intelligent, Dr, Strauss and Dr. Nemur were still smart but Charlie outsmart them. All of the intelligence they worked hard for from studying many times, was all thrown away. Charlie got even more intelligent from the operation than both of the doctors had, without…

Personal Manifesto The subject of personal manifesto should never be something that is of foreign content. There are many different ways that you can be translated into a character. For instance, some contributors are your personality, your occupation, your habits, your work and motivation, and more. What a manifesto is, is what a community thinks of what you are rather than the content of your character. You are defined by society’s social queues and status quos. As a result, more than half of…
