We have all been there where we just wish we were in a “perfect” world. We want everything to evolve around ourselves or we want somebody to guide us so we don’t  fail ourselves or somebody else.

In Harrison Bergeron, the view of a “perfect” world is huge. The 211th,212th&213th amendments were made so nobody in the world was smarter than anybody else, stronger than anybody else, or faster than anybody else. “They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.”  This was meant to keep society “Equal”. With the use of handicaps everybody becomes “equal”. “And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.” In Harrison Bergeron a character named George was required to wear an earpiece that sent out a ring every 20 seconds to change his train of thought because his intenagence was above average and average is perfect.
