Government Control In Fahrenheit 451

Imagine this. There is a government in where the government causes death by purposely making their citizens sick, giving a life and death test to young, and not mature children, brainwashing their citizens by providing them with TV families, removing their books which is their main source of knowledge, and making sure that their people don’t gain any useful knowledge. These are all points that show how cruel, unfair, and negative government control can be. Government's impact their society in today’s day and age.The government may impact their citizens feelings, behavior, emotion, and even personal thoughts. In larger and more developed countries like America and China, the government is more apart of their people’s personal and daily lives.

In the book, Fahrenheit 451, the community was involved with getting brainwashed by the government. They did this by providing TV families for every family in their society. Also, they took away books from their people, which was their main source of knowledge. The government did these actions so their citizen’s would not think about the world, or simply question it. The government didn’t want their people to know what was happening in the world. This all took place throughout the lifetime of the people, and right there in their homes. This example shows that government control is negative because the government is preventing the people from exploring and discovering new ideas and caring for the society. The government made people obsessed with their TV. These days, people are already obsessed with social media, computers, and phones to give a care in the world. Not many people know what is going on in the world. This matters because people become obsessed with TV’s and social media because of how much time they spend on it. If that’s all the people do, then the world won’t evolve when people are just trapped inside their screens. Another example in the book, Fahrenheit 451, is that earlier, Guy Montag thought to himself of how him and his wife, Mildred met. He could not remember this because of the lack of communication he has with his own wife, and

For example, in the book, Legend, the government gave the poor people the plague because they wanted to save natural resources and protect their environment. They showed the people that they cared about their citizens by going around town and doing check ups. However, they were actually giving the plague instead of preventing it. This example shows that the government control is bad because they show they don’t care about their citizens. All because the government wanted to save and protect their natural resources, they were killing innocent people. In today’s government, the society is trying to save materials. This is a big deal because the government is hurting and preventing a larger population, in which they can make jobs in which people create more and help out with the resources. Another example is when Day’s younger brother was diagnosed with the plague. He was sick, and was continuously in bed, coughing, sneezing, and barely eating. He was getting thinner every day. Day knew about this, and was trying to save his little brother, until he figured out what the government was actually doing. In today’s world, people are getting sick with different types of cancer and more. People are getting more hurt, and sick each and every day. This shows that the government can not show an act of kindness. They can just show cruelty. All in all, government control
