A world where everyone has no individuality and no unique personality. It’s like a big robot factory and every robot is built the same way. Similar to a daily life in North Korea. People would think that since there are no differences, people won’t be able to bully each other and there would be no judgements. A world like that means no individuality, no expression, no fun, no talent, no inventions, and no beauty. Let’s take North Korea, for example, this country is controlled by a dictator named Kim Jong-un (Wikipedia) and everyone

What if the world didn’t allow this?

This society makes everyone worse instead of better. Complete equality has too many issues for it to be viable. Equality should be for all in the eyes of the law. However, complete equality should not be pursued because taking away the differences between people is a clear mistake.

One of the quotes from Beatty is “You must understand that our civilization is so vast that we can’t have our minorities upset and stirred”, implying that people are better off conforming to the culture so that unhappiness does not happen (Bradbury 56). In Fahrenheit 451 conformity is the motto of the culture, society is distracted with certain simple things like TV and racing cars.

In this way, Equality 7-2521 from Anthem, a novel written by Ayn Rand, conforms to society on his outward actions to keep him safe, but on this inside, his drive for individuality and not being “normal” allows him to discover a tunnel in which he discovers multiple things like electricity. In a similar aspect, I seek to with my mind, as if a moving vehicle, swerve sharply to the opposite direction to avoid indifference and achieve my maximum potential.
