The society in which Jonas lives is basically an abnormal vision. It was badly downgraded and controlled by the "elders". People are programmed to think and act in some way. The population is depressed. They can not accept or deal with various human emotions. Emotions are filtered by health care providers and people should remain fairly unconscious as "unconscious". Any deviation will be sent "away". We can think that they were banished or abandoned outside of the closed community.
Elders are those who control and enforce the strict rules of Jonas. Jonas is influenced by the elders through these rules and various control mechanisms. One of these management mechanisms is to insult the public with community speakers. Jonas experienced this shame when he tried to take him home from school. Lori (1993) wrote: Everyone knows that he memorized the announcement ATTENTION in a humiliating way. These items can not be removed from the resting place, in particular they need to eat snacks rather than targeting him. No public reference to his parents, because public statements are sufficient to produce adequate regret, I did not mention it. Of course he already dealt with Apple and apologized to Entertainment Director before the school the next morning. (Chapter 3, paragraph 20)

However, even if so, there are some obvious and obvious examples, even if it seems to be in law, even if it is recommended. In this case, it is the American Declaration of Independence in 1776 and includes the usual first paragraph.
