Oppression In Fahrenheit 451

People who want to suppress the knowledge of others should not do so, students, for instance, should be able to get the full option of getting A.P classes at any school instead of going just to a private school.

The Fahrenheit 451 is compared to the way our society is at this moment in time, for example, the government would want to ban inappropriate books in school, because of the language content.As the result of that students will not get the knowledge they would have gain from getting to read that certain banned book.

Anyone who has wanted wants to suppress the knowledge because of what they were taught from the resources they had at the time. If a powerful person would ever feel threatened he/ she would do anything to get that person or object to disappear. In addition, of feeling threatened, they could of had other complaints about what they were being taught, and requested them to do something about it, for instance, they would want them to get rid of and then banned then banned that certain item. Fahrenheit 451 would relate to this because Beatty’s speech to Montag (pg. 51-58) had stated that “You must understand that our civilization is so vast that we can’t have our minorities upset and stirred.” (pg. 56) Which had meant

that people had felt dismayed with what the books had stated, remarkably the firemen were only helping the people staying happy.

Ideas could become dangerous because of how far they would take it, whereas if they wanted to hurt others and themselves that would be a dangerous thought or idea.

Although anyone in control would say different. They would have said that dangerous ideas would be, if they have any ideas that would break the law, not just hurt someone or themselves, therefore, they would want to figure out a way to stop that idea from growing and just make it stop in general. For instance, in Fahrenheit 451 they had banned the books and started taking everything away that had anything to do with thinking. They had started creating television shows that had no plot in the story line, repeat words over and over, which led to no thoughts

what-so-ever.
While the firemen had thought that they were helping keep the people happy, they were only making them tongue-tied for being able to speak for more than a second. Everybody in the world will never be happy at the same time, so they should never try to make everybody happy, by suppressing the knowledge, that will not make them happy only shortsighted on how everything really is, and not how it would appear.
I’ve been told that people who don’t know the history, history will soon repeat itself, with that being said, nobody should be able to suppress one’s knowledge, but the person him or herself. Although the person should be able to decide what they would learn that not the complete truth if the students got to decide if they wanted to go to school nobody will show up. To some extent students and parents should decide what they or their kids should learn, the government can decide to some extent as well.
