The Failion Of Society In The Fahrenheit 451

This quotation refers to the philosophy of their society. It is socially criticized because it gave everybody access to the same information and therefore not allowing anyone to think freely. In their society, intelligence means nothing. Referring to the first quotation, if they are told to know something, then they will not ask questions, and therefore everyone will be equal in their knowledge. In this civilization, one is not allowed to be intellect because someone who is stronger in that area has more to offer, like the 'bright boy ', who is hated by others who are not as strong. The society wants children to attend school earlier, "we 've lowered the kindergarten age year after year until now we 're almost snatching them from the cradle." (Ray Bradbury, 1953, p.60) This is an example of social criticism because the younger the children are attending

In the book Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, the author predicts the future of today’s society. Bradbury predicted the future of today’s technology and societal issues. Some technology from the book that is similar to today is the small electronic earpieces that fit into peoples’ ears to communicate with people; nowadays, it exists and people call it Bluetooth. In addition, there was large flat screen televisions that were the size of a wall. Technology is part of the societal issues from the book, they are similar to today’s society because the people do not care about reading or gaining knowledge anymore, it’s all about television and technology. In addition, suicide is not taken care of or prevented properly It is almost as suicide is taken as a joke. Actually, there are many ways today’s society is similar to the book, society that Bradbury based in the future containing advanced technology and societal issues.

Everything in this life goes by fast. The society in everyday life and the one in Fahrenheit are becoming more similar as time goes by. The people we meet and talk to impact our lives in many different ways. In our society and in Fahrenheit 451, connections to others determine the way we live our lives affecting those who are still living after our death.

To begin, there are various aspects of the cultural decay in Fahrenheit 451. One aspect of cultural decay is the fast-paced nature of this futuristic society. For instance, when Beatty visits Montag at his home, Beatty explains the elements of their society, “Then, in the twentieth century, speed up your camera. Books cut shorter...Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending” (Bradbury 52). Beatty explains how their fast-paced society works and mentions that people no longer have interests in relaxing activities, such as reading a book, watching a movie, or listening to a symphony. In this new age, individuals seek immediate gratification by immersing in compressed sensation. Since mindless activities completely occupy the public mind, it leads to a lack of interest in real conversations and deep thinking and feelings. Therefore, they have become dependent on technology-based lifestyle. This type of lifestyle impacts the interpersonal relationships by isolating individuals from the social sphere with technology-based distractions. Moreover, another aspect of the decaying culture is

In Fahrenheit 451 the author, Ray Bradbury, tries to make us think throughout his book about problems that could make the world a very terrible place in the future if people do not try to change things. One of the most significant issues that Bradbury talks about in his book is the fact that technology can become very dangerous if not used properly. In Fahrenheit 451, people are watching the TV walls all the time and, because of them, people stop communicating with each other. A moment in the book when technology is used in a bad way is when we learn that cars are made for going fast and that anyone would run over anything with their cars and kill it. In this society people take their cars which are called beetles and they “hit rabbits, sometimes hit dogs” (Bradbury 61) as if it is completely normal to kill animals. In the society of the book Fahrenheit 451, technology has completely taken away the meaning of family and people’s conviviality.

In the story Fahrenheit 451 there are many things that symbolize what is going on in our society as well as what's happening in their society. Montag and a girl Clarisse believed books were a valuable source of information while the rest of their society believes the total opposite of what they think. In both societies the quality of information has been shortened so more people can understand everything and we don't have to spend a lot of time getting the information we need. The blurred distinction between life and death in both our society and Fahrenheit 451 is the information we need is watered down and were missing that element that gives us room to think about what is going on so people are mentally dead because they don't have to think

Imagine yourself in a world where your pleasures go down in flames and your thoughts are restricted, because of the voice of one powerful individual, who decided your society needed modification. Fahrenheit 451 is a novel that takes place in the 24th century.

The traditional perception of a fireman, undergoes plenty of change from our present to the 24th century. The practice of the society is questioned throughout the course of the novel. The importance of the character Faber, is examined through a character sketch with reference to his fitting within a Utopian or Dystopian society.

Freshman students should read Fahrenheit 451 next year because it supports the idea that a society that does not focus on ideas will destroy itself, that it is okay to be different from everyone else, that knowledge is freedom, and that technology is not everything in life.

We sit on the subways and we ride on the busses, we drown the outside world with our headphones and our television sets, and we walk on the sidewalks brushing past one another just enough to avoid physical contact so that we can continue on our "merry" way towards our next destination. As a society, we beeline our way through life, weaving between moments of rendezvous and accidental concurrence, and we surround ourselves with instruments of interference in an attempt to pull ourselves out of the day-to-day life. As they say, art imitates life, and in a very sadistic way Fahrenheit 451 imitates what we are, and what we could become. Fahrenheit depicts a future where the common people surround themselves

Is the society losing its mind? People in the book Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, including Mildred aren’t realizing all of the major problems going on in the society. Mildred and all of the other people in the book need to just open their eyes and see what their world is now.

There is a point when people become dissatisfied; a point when what was once a glorious glowing heap of glass, microchips, and wires become depression, isolation, and the epiphany of how human nature is to take a lot of a little good and asphyxiate themselves with it. An abundance of technology can become addictive. It allows communicating, reading, watching, playing, and doing almost anything you imagine instantly and on a whim. It can improve things while it’s drastic effects destroy our ability to do things independently. While Fahrenheit 451 presents the restriction of information as the surface situation, technology, and how it has caused regression in society and its intelligence is the core issue within the novel and what Fahrenheit 451 is about.
