In no fewer than 1000 words, and using either or both of the Vonnegut stories we read, (Harrison Bergeron and 2BR02B), write an Argument Essay with research answering your choice of the following questions:
1 – Both Harrison Bergeron and 2BR02B deal with futuristic societies that can be considered dystopian. What are some examples of real world, seemingly dystopian societies, (current or historical)? Do people choose to live in these societies, or are they stuck there? Are these real life societies considered successful or, like Vonnegut’s societies, have they failed in their bid to be societal utopias? Give at least two real-world examples of Dystopias (you may not use the current United States), and show how they became dystopias, how they may have tried to be a Utopia, and why citizens might stay there. Remember to tie it back to Vonnegut’s story or stories.
2 – Harrison Bergeron and 2BR02B both hinge strongly on the idea of equality and/or equity within their respective societies. How are the ideas of equality and/or equity important to other utopian societies (either in real life or in fiction)? Do they work in Vonnegut’s short story societies? Do they work in real life utopian societies or in fictional ones? (You may not use the current United States). Note that you do not have to look at entire countries here, but any functioning group or system. Do the citizens or participants really achieve equality? What concessions must they make or what must they give up in order to find that equality? Remember to tie it back Vonnegut’s story or stories.
