What it would be like to live in a society where everyone was equal in every way. Would that be possible and desirable? Explain.

Nietzsche announced his greatest fear of human ordinaryness. Life is tired, weak will, there is no danger, this person is only comfort and safety. This is "equality" written by Vonnegut. George was weak and satisfied with obedience, so I did not want to dismantle the jacket almost at home.

In addition to the result of deep personal revolution as a human mind and body, slavery love can not be established.

In Bergeron's society, everyone is forced to equality and George's remark to hazel proves that this revolution has begun. In the American society, more subtle measures are taken in this direction. Please consider the following two concepts.

Political correctness is the beginning of efforts to control people's mind and in the future can lead to other fields; in education do not let children lag behind and everyone "on the same page" Try to be like that.

This is impossible. There is no way for everyone to be equal in all respects. Without an accident, there is always a difference between men and women (even if they could all have the same height, same level of charm, same level intelligence etc).

Regarding the desirability, I think this is awful. After all, there are many things to do in every society. These tasks require different skills and interests. If everyone is the same, some of these tasks will be satisfied (or will be met by those who are very dissatisfied). For example, if everyone is a person like me, no one wants scientists, classical musicians, actors. Therefore, a completely homogeneous society will be very bad, as everyone wants to do the same and can not do a lot of things.

No, this is impossible. This is what Vonnegut wants when setting all these carefully created obstacles to enter the competitive environment, but after hundreds of years of correction the government has not done so yet. How can we maintain equal wealth? If everyone's money is robbed from them, it will be evenly distributed. Is there anything that was reassigned every few weeks? Then there are other aspects of life, such as purely subjective appearance. It is impossible to measure subjective problems. At that time, Vonnegut's view was to stop society from stopping seeking this ideal of equality, except for law.

As Philip Fetzer explains, "... even if it is possible to build society based on equal ability, it is impossible to do it, leaders are not born in an incompetent society, great There is no new idea for art and literary work, society will soon be stagnant. "The second example is Vonnegut, which shows the reader the impact of an equal society. In other words, George and Hazel are talking about how society looks without obstacles to equalize all people. Because he had to wear obstacles in his ear, George could not think for more than a few seconds at a time, and diverted his thought by randomly making loud noise. Everyone with "average" intelligence must wear such equipment to eliminate unjust intellectual interests. But by frightening the hearts of truly intellectual people, the government is also creating a society that does not change anything.

John Rawls' justice theory helps human beings create a fair society possible, but that is not the most ideal society. The most important thing to note is that the Soviet Union Russia has tried one of three possible options, ie, everyone is equal in every respect. The idea itself is excellent overall but the execution is terrible. The human factor in the concept of the equality society is always its downfall, so execution is wrong. Even distribution of goods will provide equal standards to everyone, but the quality of life will decline sharply. Likewise, humans also want to increase their power. John Rawls believes that equal distribution of power creates the most fair society. Even without the true administrative authority, everyone can access the same thing. But true balance is never obtained. There will always be people who want to go beyond others who will cause chaotic chain reaction.
