how much does the government need to control?

The United States has the highest death rate due to gun violence and we have the most guns available to our citizens with easy access to them. every society needs to have some kind of structure but at what point does that structure turn into control? How can we find a balance between structure and control? like in the pedestrian where the government is brain washing its citizens with their television sets. Or in Harrison bergion where people had their thoughts controlled by headsets that they are forced to wear. The government is like a fire it takes will eventually take over everything if its not managed.

The idea of freedom is something us in Colorado don't have to worry about. But what would you be without your freedom to express yourself, who would you be if you couldn't speak out about things you disagree with. People in Colorado aren't trapped like the people in the stories that we have read. The people in the stories are always restricted in some major way, and most of them don't really seem to care about it. These people are like zoo animals with no knowledge of their own situation.

In both "The Pedestrian" and F451 limiting freedoms eventually ends in a dystopian environment. The majority of the population is extremely unhappy, and some party ends up having all other power.

Government controls they way people think and why they think that by controlling the media. They can censor whatever the wish to even though the risk is that it will come back eventually. The government is mainly just looking out for the country no matter whether we think it is justified or not.

2. Trying to protect the few killed the many. When Montag went to Fletchers house to warn him to burn his stuff and spray a scent all over the house then get out of the city. In doing this Montag only warned Fletcher about the bombing, which is an example of saving the few while killing the many. Montag made a  choice to run ad hide resulting in the bombing of the city. To protect and preserve humanities freedom to read, Montag ran away with the knowledge of a book to rewrite the libraries that once stood.   The choices Montag made should've been for others instead of himself. This makes him look like less of a hero.
3. The first question we have is why Montag decided to only save himself and the knowledge of a book instead of saving others from the bombs. Why did Bradbury choose to make Montag less of a hero and make selfish choices.

"I inhale deeply
filling myself to the brim
because perhaps they will also
prohibit that tomorrow."

Everyone deserves the right of choice, because without a choice people feel trapped.

Why do people feel trapped when their rights are taken away?

The Government has control over how we respond to major events in history.

How might the Government do this?

When rights are taken away people will either support it or they rebel against it.

1.  In "the Knight" and F451 society wouldn't allow the people to show their emotions and who they really are.
2.  The Pedestrian" and F451 both show a separation from society because of their difference.  Nonconformist qualities.
3.  In F451 and the real world our wants and needs are separate from each other.  We need to think for others not only ourselves.
4.  How has our society changed from the recent events in F451?  After reading F451, have your views on society changed?
5. There are always two sides who believe they have the best answer.

People feel trapped by each other and by society, and have no way to express their emotions to each other.  In both stories, the main characters both have experienced something being taken away from them. Each main character, in all of the stories, have an outside look on society and have a deeper understanding of their life. All of these show how people today are drifting away from how life used to be and shows how society is changing them and twisting their way of thinking.
What is the government trying to take away by choosing the way people think? What is freedom?
Our society could become like the way the dystopian futures in the books.

In the pieces we have read and discussed, people are controlled by others and everything around them. They seem to have something taken away from them, and don't have control over it. We need to be controlled because if not then we would cause chaos and war.

# data[].attributes.body
The People in the stories we have read all deserve control, but are restricted in some way. They all are restricted in some way, and in all of the stories, most people seem to not care too much about it. Why don't these people seem to care, and why would they give up their freedoms to begin with? People in these stories seem to be like locked up animals in a zoo.

In every single piece we have read the world is people are controlled and minipulated to close themselves out from others and that this action is normal. In all the pieces we seem to leave nature to cover ourselves up and hide ones self behind a curtain.

Violence cannot be justified

in all the pieces and arguments that we went over in this class, the same question always emanate "How much violence is justified". what comes to mind is the fact that "would we let someone else die in order to save other people". why should someone have to die? why cant we control death? Violence is everywhere,  violence is never the answer, but we chose to do so anyways and with that comes death and other problems. we rely to much upon other people, and we always follow the crowd, we need to start standing up for ourselves like Harrison Bergeron, to change the society when theirs a problem.
