society, there is a typical way that humans are expected to treat each other-a ‘humane’ way. These standards help ensure the happiness of the people and keep society running smoothly; however, issues can arise when this standard is broken. Both 1984 and 2081 show examples of societies that have stripped away humanity from their citizens in various ways, including the restriction of free thought and expression and imposing harsh punishments and regulations. One way that humanity is stripped away
In the short story 2081 Harrison Bergeron is strong and is smart his appearance is appealing and he's a giant. Since the government has become so strict on following the 213 amendments in the year of 2081 nobody is legally allowed to be above the average. The average in the story is considered to be unintelligent and ugly. This point tells us that fourteen year old Harrison Bergeron cannot be able to walk around like anyone else. Harrison and many others become disabled and had to wear earpieces
In the book Anthem and the movie 2081, there was a very similar story line and messages but two completely different ideas and ways to show the society and how they operate. In the movie 2081, the leader named the Handicapper General was the one to decide the handicaps people get to make everyone equal. Some were stronger, smarter, and prettier than others and they wanted things to be “equal”. In the book Anthem, there was no individuality and there were no such words as I, me, "my." Anyone using
Dystopia Summative Assessment Anthem & 2081 are both false utopia’s that are comparable, but yet so different in many ways.

Meaning everyone is equal in everything. In Anthem & 2081 both governments take away individuality from the people of their society, however in Anthem they do it by
An equal world seems ideal, until independence is stripped from each and every human being, “Harrison Bergerson” and “2081” were both interesting pieces with insight into equality, however the video “2081” had quite a different view, compared to the story it was based upon. This paper will show that the two pieces had a strong difference in the character description, with a similar conflict, but nearly completely different plot line. The story “Harrison Bergerson” had a very vivid description of
is very communist as it is controlled by totalitarian leaders and one of the main rules is that no one is allowed to say “I.” In 2081, the society is based on equality, equality of handicaps and restraints that don’t make sense if one is not from here. Anthem and 2081 are very similar, yet they have different twists on how their civilizations are based. Anthem and 2081, though very different, have a lot of the same frame. The first example can be seen in how they are both in the future, which is
Ayn Rand and the dystopian movie "2081" offer contrasting yet complementary explorations of dystopian themes, highlighting the dangers of oppressive societies and the power of individualism to overcome tyranny. Both works portray cultures where authoritarian rule and obedience are the norm, nevertheless, they diverge in how they show the heroes' journeys to freedom and what ultimately transpires in their own realms. An important resemblance between "Anthem" and "2081" is how they both portray dystopian
Between both “Anthem” and “2081”, the authors like to explore the theme of dystopian societies. Both societies that had been created by the authors are suppressed within the favors of conformity to maintain the social order within them. In “Anthem”, the community is being governed by strict rules such as not being able to pick their own name, and not being able to go out alone.

Comparing / Contrasting with a modern American society Does living in a dystopian society like in Fahrenheit 451 compare differently to a modern American society?
