Life in Vietnam would be perfect if everyone were totally equal. Do you agree or disagree?
I would disagree. If anybody is equal, there will be no more ideas, knowledge, less money than usual because everybody is equal. For example, if one person had more knowledge than others, that person will have to were a earphone from the government and every day and for every 20 seconds the earphone will create a loud noise which make them stop thinks.
You are designing a society in which everyone is equal. What are the laws?
The laws will be:
-Every body will have same amount of resource, money
-Beautiful/handsome boys/girls must were a mask
-Intelligence person must were an earphone from the government
What would you do to help people who were less capable mentally, physically, or socially to “catch up”?
I would help them by teaching them what they need to know to "catch up" to the society like teach them to obey the law, know what right or wrong, showing their talent.
What problems can you foresee that might come in a society with laws that force “equality for all”? How would you handle those problems?
Some problems in a "equality for all" world might happen like people wearing mask because their are more beautiful/handsome than other, no new ideas, technology, inventions and we can solve this problem by creating a revolutions, take power over the government, stands up against them, leave this world.
Do you believe that total equality is possible, or would human nature make sure that some people would eventually dominate others?
I wouldn't say total equality because in this modern world nothing is equal, everyone is different from the others so it might cause situation where people dominate others, which is have power over them.
In what situations have you felt similarly to any of the characters? What persons, places, or ideas from your own experience came to mind while you were reading this story? Try to list as least two examples.
In Vietnam history, we learn about years ago when our country was overthrown by others, we were force to work, less money, no freedom so its kind of like what the story "Harrison Bergeron" was talking about.
