Recommended: What are the reasons for conformity

Attention This is an idea. It is the source of ambition that dominates the line splitting reality and imagination. However, common ideas can be shared amongst us; we as people must look for the opportunity and seize it before the eyes of the common man so that we are no longer common. Equality is like a diamond, flawless in every way, that is, until we magnify it to see its imperfections that we cannot achieve without something we are being deprived of. Conformity calls to us from every house in the city, but we as a people are being deprived of Freedom, the feeling that I have achieved by achieving the nirvana of the damned by choice, of which I achieved alone and for myself. I’m here to try and make you realize that the world council is using you as puppets for jobs that are assigned to you based on your conformity, I want you to realize that we …show more content…

I have read of a system from books in my library, it spoke of a practice called democracy, full of the principals who can quench our infinite thirst and lust to be free. It is a system by the people, for the people, and of the people. We must break the façade of equality proposed and praised by the world council; if it took man 100 years to approve the candle yet myself a meager 2 to put the candle in a prison of the obsolete. The world we think we know is merely a promise of uniformity and equality, that we are truly blinded by the obvious puppet we are, painted with monotony and conformity, but I ask my fellow puppets, we can cut the strings of the cold, totalitarian glove of which the world council has its hand constantly in. I propose brethren that we must uphold a revolution, and escape to the sanctuary that I have created and start a new, free world of unified dominion and freedom to of which you are all welcome to open arms and

    975 Words  | 2 Pages

    One day, Equality is supposed to be in the theater, but he is not there. Consequently, Equality is imprisoned to the Palace of Corrective Detention. Oddly, the prison does not have many restrictions, so easily Equality escapes. After his departure, he goes directly to the Council of Scholars, which is where a group of people have a job to gain more intelligence. Intentionally, Equality goes here because he wants to reveal his new discovery of electricity to the scholars. In effect, they denounce him for carrying out a discovery because it is contradicting to the laws of their society. After this happens, Equality bolts to the Uncharted Forest, he begins to actualize that people should live as individuals instead of one group. Liberty follows Equality and, eventually, catches up to him. In the Uncharted Forest, they find a sublime house on top of a mountain. Once they examine the house, Equality and Liberty decide to live in it. Uninhibited, they develop a more profound relationship along with a newly-founded liberated life. As an individual, Equality wants to free the people of his society and eventually begin his own. Equality says, "We matter not, nor our transgression. It is only our brother men who matter. Give no thought to us, for we are nothing, but listen to our words, for we bring you a gift such as has never been brought to men. Listen to us, for we hold the future of mankind in our hands" (70; ch. 7). Equality's life dramatically changes as he extends his life as a

    Equality deserves the right to be motivated in his own way, and the people in the world today would or would not benefit from being motivated in all the same ways. Firstly, the main character was creating electricity to finally be added into the House of Scholars. Next, he deserves the right to be motivated in this way because he is his own person. Finally, in today’s world if everyone was motivated in the same way we would not be our own person anymore. In conclusion, every man has his own

  • Ayn Rand's Anthem: A Matter of Indivduality

    803 Words  | 2 Pages

    "If a man is not faithful to his own individuality, he can not be loyal to anything" (McKay 1). The book Anthem demonstrates that individuality is key if one is to learn, love, and be oneself. Though the Council says the world is equal, it is in reality unbalanced and unfair because the Council makes all the decisions for the place. The book shows that people become mindless and "machine-like" because of Collectivism. Equality, the protagonist and the one with different ideas, shows that identity is very important to humanity. Throughout the book Anthem, the theme of individuality and one's own identity, shown through Equality's own ideas, love, and ego, are important to show Collectivism's downfalls.

    In conclusion, it is shown that Equality 7-2521 makes his journey from a prisoner of collectivism and extreme social dependence to an exclusive freedom. Ayn Rand portrays a society afraid of change, rebellion, and the idea of any singularity at all. Equality first frees himself from the shackles of his brothers, allowing him to be an individual. Next he discovers that he, as one person, can judge the truth, others change the truth the way they want you to understand it. Finally, the reflection of himself in a stream shows Equality that he is not only mentally, but physically different than what seems to be a shapeless society. Ayn Rand conveys the theme of individualism through the development of Equality's ego, he is able to find the importance of one’s self and help society ameliorate itself for years to come.

    759 Words  | 2 Pages

    While Equality and Liberty take a hike in the Uncharted Forest Equality reflects on what he was taught back in his society as being one and not caring for your life, but the lives of their brothers, this is another realization he encounters of collectivism striping away his indivduality and joy. “If this is the great evil of being alone, then what is good and what is evil Everything which comes from many is good Everything which comes from one is evil This have we been taught with our first breath.” While walking in the forest Equality trips, falls, rolls, and then begins to laugh, this is his moment of joy. “Then our body, losing all sense, rolled over and over on the moss...And we heard laughing as if there were no power left in us save laughter.” While reading the manuscripts Equality comes across the word “I” for the very first time in his life, and for the first time he speaks as one person instead of two or more. “It is my will which chooses, and the choice of my will is the only edict I must respect.” Equality comes to the realization that collectivism takes away individuality and

  • Australia Day Persuasive Speech

    Which leads into my third and final premise, changing the date will be a large step towards reconciliation and act as a demonstration that we have aspirations to make our country better. Many people claim that changing the date will not change history. Of course they’re right because nothing can change history. If we were capable of doing so, I’d like to think we would have done it already. Changing the date of Australia Day will not reverse the suffering that the original custodians of this land were subjected to. Nor will it abolish the iron fist of racism that Australia seems to be gripped by.

  • Analysis of Ayn Rand´s Novel: Anthem

    757 Words  | 2 Pages

    In conclusion, those who try new things will have the ability to succeed rather than those who sit around and fail without trying. Equality expresses the theme of this book by showing that when you go try new things and express your opinion good things will happen if you have good intentions. Equality discovers electricity and when he show the group of scholars he is denied the use of electricity throughout the community. Equality takes his opinions and designs o make his own society that is based on oneself. In my opinion the world is a combination of both of these societies and this is how the world has accomplished what it has today.

    “The creator served nothing and no one. He lived for himself” (Soul of an Individualist). The novel, Anthem written by Ayn Rand, creates a dystopia where individual impression is prohibited, and all citizens are forced to put their fellow citizens, called brothers, before themselves. In this strictly collectivist society the word ‘I’ is replaced with the word ‘We’, and personal thought is considered a transgression. Anthem follows the life of the main protagonist, Equality on his journey to break free from this society. To liberate himself from his collectivist society and altruistic way of life, Equality must think only for himself, and become an egotist.

  • Harrison Bergeron Utopia

    940 Words  | 2 Pages

    Imagine, a reality where one lives in a world where everyone is equal, no one is better than the other. In a way, contradicting of the norms of reality today. Right before one’s eye, one would think it is a reasonably faultless place, a utopia; although, if one begins to look closely at the situation. The individual will begin to uncover something grimmer in this so called utopia, only to find no one should not truly want everything to be equal, abnormally enough. Everything is unquestionably monotone. Innovation is practically out the window, and nothing can be done about it. The characters Harrison Bergeron, the Empress, and Hazel of Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. shows that equality for all is not as noteworthy as it advertises.

  • Victory In Ayn Rand's Anthem

    Without knowing the word “I”, he finds different ways to express his unique persona. He has been intellectually superior to his brothers from the time he was in the Home of the Students where he thought the work was “too easy” and “it is evil to be superior” (Anthem 21). It is not only his mind that stands out in this society, but also his appearance. His height, which he thinks “is a burden” stands out too, because “there are not many men that are six feet tall” (Anthem 18). He is not only above them mentally, but also physically. For Equality to reach his full potential for individuality, he has to side with curiosity and embrace his desire to learn. When he does do this, he says, “[his] soul is as clear as a lake” and it “is the first peace [he] has known in twenty years” (Anthem 37). Demonstrated here is how this excessively altruistic society crushes curiosity and has the people’s true nature repressed for the “benefit” of everyone. Twenty years is a long time, especially when it is put into consideration that at the age of forty, they are sent to the Home of the Useless. Living in this society is a life sentence, in which they are stripped of anything that could make them an individual, even something as simple as the word
