The big idea is that being equal (equality) can lead to a destructive society.

The big idea is that we can't think for ourselves & that if we don't try for our individuality that we will all just become the same muse.

that we have become blind to the tragedy around us

i think the big idea has to do with control and the way that the government wants to have control over everyone and make sure everyone is considered "equal".

I think the big idea is technology and the government using it to control us as people like when Harrison's parents forgot in like 10 secs

The author's most important "big idea" is that equality can be the end of individuality. That everyone is created to be different and nobody is the same. He is warning us about our society by maybe telling us to embrace everyone differences and not be so judgemental because our world could be like theirs .

i think the author is saying in the big idea that too much equality can destroy your individuality

# data[].attributes.body
This idea of equality that everyone thinks would be so great, is not really all that its cracked up to be

Total equality is not actual equality.

I think the most important idea in Harrison Bergeron is to warn us about whats wrong with our society and what equality and individual rights really are

# data[].attributes.body
The author shows how being so equal where there is no individuality can cause alot  of chaos. He's warning that if we don't keep our individuality, there will be no happiness or beauty to life.

The big idea is that not being equal leads to problems. Because Harrison acted out against the rules of being equal and forced someone to join him got both of them killed

# data[].attributes.body
Complete equality doesnt allow for individuality.

Using these different ways of leveling the playing field, or making everything equal we see the true inequality and descrimination that is represented by the society in this short story. Correlating that to our society, putting labels on different people and trying to impose social justice. In some ways we are creating the opposite of what we really wanted. We wanted equality but how is it that giving someone with many physical and personal traits that are strong a handicap fair? In other words. Why do we have to limit others instead of helping those who are weak?

To make sure everyone has their own personality

The author is warning us that if our individuality is taken away no one will be able to fight the government or express their concerns they have .

Is that people don't like different or feeling weak compared to others, and I feel one day the government will fear the people that excell to everybody else due to their ability,  and try to make everybody equal but they will quickly find out that people will probably not agree with that and will rebell.

Too much equality can eventually lead to limiting others abilities and talents
