Homework for Jan. 11, 2011

1. I disagree with it if everyone is totally equal. What I've read in the story "Harrison Bergeron." What if I am better than others, imagine they would put weird noises into my ears. That is totally annoying, I would feel really unfair. Also, if everyone is equal, all the brains are working the same, so there's no creative ideas. That couldn't make the world gets better. It also may becomes worse, then there'll a lot of problems all over the world. But not being equal also is a problem, if I'm a slave and always have to listen to my boss, that would feel unfair. I think we shouldn't make it totally equal or unequal.

2. Instead of making them get worse, I would make them become better. The smart genius people can help the bad ones to become better and more knowledgeable. Pretty ones can turn ugly people becoming extremely beautiful. I think helping and encouraging them to continue to work hard is my law.

3. As I said in question 2, I would help them by favoring the genius, pretties,.. to help the "bad" people by encouraging them to work hard in order to become better.

4.I think North Korea is becoming that kind of society. They're saying that everyone in their country is equal. If I'm the leader, I wouldn't force them to have that kind of law.

5. I think it's impossible to be equal. Everyone was born to be different. They have different personality, talents, looks,...etc. That's why I think people who are more talented and smarter would feel unfair about total equality. It maybe is a good thing to be equal, but not too much. You can't stop people from being less talented or smart. It really is unfair to them. Imagine that you have to stop your dreams and become uglier and stupid for everyone to be equal? It's a serious problem to solve to me.

6. - I knew that North Korea is related to this story, because they said that everyone is equal in their country.
    - I think that the world may becomes like this in the real future, everyone is thinking that fair and equal are the best, so it may turns out to be like the story.
