GROUP 3: CONFORMITY VS. INDIVIDUALITY

9 comments:

  1. 1.)Conformity vs Individuality is when people of a strict an dominate society start to over turn and stand up for what they think is right after being what told what to do for so long. Conformity is the way society and the government makes you see things and they way it has people’s mind set up so they won’t think on their own. Individuality means separating yourself from what everyone else is doing and believes. Once an individual starts to revolt their minds starts to expand and they want to explore and become familiar with things they don't usually do.

  3. 2) In the second part of Fahrenheit 451, conformity represented by Mildred and her friends. They gather together to watch the TV walls. They all look the same; they all act the same ("The three women fidgeted and looked nervously at the empty mud-colored walls"); they all buy into their society's entertainment brainwashing; they all have the same distant and alienated values. In addition, they all find that Montag was alarming and dangerous because he was trying to take a different way than most people in their society. Individuality is embodied in Montag. He is striving to understand, for himself, why he is unhappy. He reads; he questions; he seeks out Faber for answers; he plots an attack on the entire system itself. He is seeking out answers for his own individual happiness. Compare this to Mildred and her friends, who when miserable, don't seek out answers but drown out their sorrows in television and sleeping pills. ( "Mrs. Bowles stood up and glared at Montag. "You see? I knew it, that's what I wanted prove! I knew it would happen! I've always said , poetry and tears, poetry and suicide and crying and awful

  5. 2) The society have affected in many ways. “ People don’t talk about anything all say the same thing and nobody different from anyone else”.The society have no individuality, they don’t express theyself about having any freedom.”Nobody listens anymore. I cannot talk to the walls because they are yelling at me.I want you to teach me to understand what i read”. Montag shows that he wants to learn things that is against his society status. The society following each others without realizing that because they do what the government told them to. While the man around the campfire ask” Montag what he has to offer. He says the Book of Ecclesiastes, though only what he's memorized of it since he's lost the physical book’. As he been fighting for the equal right,he has something to contribute even though people still limited. Today in our society a lot of libraries are shutting down,if we keep continuing to follow this path the society will like the one Montag was living in. Technology are improving quick.As a result that make us don’t ask question, as long you type what you are looking for online you have the answer.

  6. 3.)In 451 the prevention of books caused a lot of problemseven deaths. Books should be allowed because it3) In Bradbury describes how in each house are televisions in the wall where a person communicates a virtual latives are not wanted. On the contrary, the one who wants to chat live, called a freak and is under suspicion from the government. To avoid what happened to the community where he lived Montag , our society needs to have now revised their outlook on life . Need to start spending less time watching TV . Do not teach children to watch TV. Teach children to read paper books and explain that there is a library . You also need to create a normal family in which the husband and wife talk to each other and do some things together that they will be merged and will not forget the place and date of the meeting , as described in the novel Bredberi . Normal family with a properly brought-up children gives people a sense of knowledge and imagination . Books provide strong opinions and make for conversations as in the novel society had nothing to talk about. Books have great meanings behind them and the prevention is not only a lost of knowledge but it is a lose of exploring history and the truth behind why things happen and why things are going on today .

  7. Conformity-Montage wants his wife to read the book but instead. He wants his wife to underside of what's going on and too be on his side.
    Individuality- “there must be something in books , things can't imagine to make a women stay in a burning house, there must be something there”. In the old ladies house she decided to die with her books. she wasn't gonna let the fireman burn the books because the books meant something to her. So montag took the book from her house because he wants to know what's inside a book to make a women take her own life.

    2.How can the negative side of your theme affect society ( lead to a dystopian future)
    One of the Examples are that montag takes the book from the old ladies house . That shows that society wouldn’t be as dysfunctional because everyone is able to read or has an idea on what they are reading. When the old lady did not allow the fireman to burn her books, that shows that there is something to fight for.

    3.What can be done to prevent this from happening?
    We don't want the government watching over us people should have the right to know What they are doing and also reading. People would have to stand up for what they believe in.
