Can you see any elements of our society
that are
similar to Equality’s beliefs?
In Anthem, Equality believes in only
doing things for one’s self, but at the same time his society is telling him to
never think of himself as an individual because everyone is equal.
In America there are many people
that have the same sort of mine set. For example a ton of wealthy people buy
HUGE houses that would be able to have like ten people live there and only four
people end up living there. They buy really expensive clothes and jewelry, while
there are millions and millions of people that don’t even have access to clean
healthy water.
I
am guilty of not wanting to help others and putting myself first too. The most
recent example has to do with not wanting to donate to Hurricane Sandy relief
efforts because I want to use that money to buy me something that I don’t even
need. So there are quite a few similarities between our two societies.
