It’s never too late.Don’t focus on what is taken away, be thankful for what you have today , find something to replace it or be ready to be replaced by it. Drew Barrymore.I choose this concept because I believe that the situations could be improved if we try rather than just leaving it as it is. By doing this you only make the matter worse. We have to keep trying either. I believe Bradbury's novel has predicted our future and it is very relative with a lot of similarities. For example Ray Bradbury’s criticism of the husband-wife relationships in his novel is still relevant today as in today's world the husband and wife are treated exactly the same as Bradbury.

In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury argues that technology makes people disconnected from …show more content…

People have changed along with time . People feel happy in isolating themselves rather than enjoying nature . People do say that they are in love but more like they are physically in love rather than emotionally. They have forgotten the meaning of love. People like to use social media rather than spending time with their loved ones for eg( resource). In our society today there is an unhealthy relationship among the spouses which has been described by the source “When he gets angry at home, he screams and is verbally abusive toward his wife. I have worried about his wife's safety on multiple occasions, as this screaming and verbal abuse is usually accompanied by him causing damage to their home. I've overheard him pounding on the walls and throwing things on the floor; I believe he has broken several pieces of furniture over the years. After his most recent episode, I watched him carry a broken chair to the dumpster later that day.”Spouses fight all the time, argue and curse each other rather then solving the problem in a good way neither of one compromise or try to save the relationship. They no more care about the relationship more then that their ego is important in way of that they don’t even care of their children’s they even start in front of them. For many children’s are not valued and are seen as toy to whom they can critisim hit instruct and they have to listen and do or otherwise they have no option for

Often, society refers to a group of sheep that are blindly controlled by a wolf. Everywhere around the world, we see an abundance of sophisticated gadgets and devices. However, it is not these devices that showcase human intelligence. Rather, it's the people themselves that occasionally appear as vacant and superficial as their drab equipment.

The theme that Bradbury is trying to convey to his audience television is dangerous and too much of it can be detrimental to society. On pages 70-71, Bradbury writes, “The old man admitted to being a retired English professor who had been thrown out upon the world forty years ago when the last college shut for the students and patronage.” This quote makes it clear that it wasn’t the government that originally decided to ban the books, it was the people who stopped reading them. It was the television that caused people to lose interest in activities and learning, and it was the television that is the true reason books were banned. Bradbury writes the conversation between Mildred and Montag, “‘Will you turn the parlor off?’

title Maslow’s hierarchy suggests that humans have a hierarchical set of requirements starting from the most basic physiological needs, security needs, social needs, esteem needs and the highest level of self-actualization needs. This theory can be applied to Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451. The novel, set in a dystopian future world where books are burned for their divisive nature and nonconformity is discouraged, follows Guy Montag, a fireman who rebels against these norms. The society portrayed in the book is meant to meet the characters' fundamental requirements for security, but is not successful in doing so. In its efforts to do so it infringes on the higher-level needs presented, social and esteem needs.

Some parents assume that because the child has experienced many of the same events the parent has in that household the child probably knows why the parents had to divorce.

Other parents want to protect their children from experiencing or even knowing about unhappy or unpleasant events so they decide to tell them very little about the actual reasons for the divorce.
