Harrison Bergeron

Freedom is a privledge to have, some people have it and others don't. freedom is something you have to earn, either from graduating high school and going to college living under your own rules to working eight hours and having to rest of the day off and having the freedom to do whatever you want for the rest of the day. freedom is the power to act, speak, or think as one wants. Equality is being the same in quantity, size, degree, or value. To me being equal means most people have no freedom and have to do what everyone else does and it all has to be the same. In Harrison Bergeron everyone has to be equal in every way. i would not like to live in a world like that because nobody would be good at different things. No one would be reconized or reworded for what they do best. Like Michael Phelps would not be rewarded for how good of a swimmer he is because everyone would be just as good as him or he would have to be worse. If everyone was equal you would not have the freedom to act as your best or think to the best of your ablilty. in the definition of freedom you have the freedom to act or think as one wants, if everyone was equal you would think and act but not to the best of your ability. if everyone was equal you wouldn't dare to be different or be your self and life would be the same and boring.
