Similarities Between Our Society And Fahrenheit 451

Our Society vs. Fahrenheit 451 Society In many ways, Fahrenheit 451 society is very closely similar to our Modern American Society. First of all, technology took over. Second of all, the people rebelled against the government. Finally, the idea of constant war was both in the book and in our Modern American Society. There are many connections between our Modern American Society and Fahrenheit 451 society. Technology is a problem in both our society as well as the book’s society. According to the article, “Robots and AI Taking over Jobs” it says this. “AI is expected to replace 85 million jobs worldwide by 2025” (Thomas). This means in the next 2 years AI is going to take 85 million people's jobs, only to allow big companies to make more

In the book, Faber who was an old English professor wanted to rebel against the book banning, but couldn’t work up the courage to do it. “So few want to be rebels anymore. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily” ( Bradbury 83). Also, according to the article “Why Do People Choose to Rebel”, it states that. “Instead, scholars argue that people rebel out of a sense of relative deprivation in which they believe that they lack the economic benefits or social position that they deserve” (One Earth Future). The reason for any person to rebel is the person believes that they deserve more than what they have in their life. People can rebel because of many emotions like fear, hatred, or even jealousy. Rebellion is one of the many similarities between our modern American society and Fahrenheit 451

The main character in the book whom the name is Montag talks about the constant war with book burning. This is the same thing with our modern society, constant wars between countries and people are always going on. According to the article, “How the US Created a World of Endless War”, it says that. “This new kind of American war is revealing that the most elemental face of war is not death. Instead, it is control by domination and surveillance” (Moyn 3). America’s war tactics are constant surveillance of their enemies, so they are always up to date on what is going on around them. Long story short war is always going on whether or not we notice or not. That is why constant war is a topic that is similar to Fahrenheit 451 society as well as our modern
