Comparison Of Harrison Bergeron And Red Queen

However, what if every twenty seconds a transmitter would send a sharp, screeching noise through your ears in order to stop you from thinking, just so you could be at the same level of intelligence as everyone else and never smarter. Now imagine being a teenage girl living in a world that is divided by blood. If you are red-blooded you are considered to be in the lower class and have to pickpocket in order to survive. Whereas if you are silver-blooded, you live a life full of luxury and royalty.

However if society were to act in such a way it would cause a major step back in the development that people have worked so hard to achieve.

    In the United States today, ascribed status is extensively influential in determining one’s social class. Commonly associated with race and gender, ascribed social statuses can serve as obstacles in many individual’s lives.

While Malcolm dreamed of becoming a lawyer, one teacher suggested he pursue carpentry instead. At that moment, Malcolm concluded that his race prevented him from becoming a successful lawyer and achieving his dreams (pg. 107).
