How Does Fahrenheit 451 Affect Society

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

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.

Most often, people can be seen walking with their heads down, immersed in the technology in front of them, ignoring the whole world. Societies often contain a lot of technology, allowing people to use it in helpful or hurtful ways. Some technology can be lifesaving, but there is also technology that can destroy life in less than a second. Most often, people seem to not understand what technology is doing and how it is impacting their lives. Instead, they are blinded by the few positives of technology that actually hurt the society more than they can recognize. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the society is heavily dependent on technology. Technology has a negative impact on the characters in Fahrenheit 451. People in the society become addicted to the parlor walls, cars go so fast that they don’t see anything outside and the mechanical hound instills fear in people.

Ray Bradbury is a great foreshadower. His work is generally fantasy and horror and he it is exquisite. Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 back in 1953 and it still connects with the conflicts of today. The way society was in Fahrenheit 451 is similar to how it is today. The society is arrogant and selfish. No one cares about anyone or anything besides the TVs and technology. In Fahrenheit 451, the lack of physical communication and relationships between people due to the development of technology sabotages society before they know it.

First, Mildred is self centered. SHe doesn’t really think about anyone but herself. Montag had a bad experience at work, and gets sick. In the text she continues to tell Montag over and over again, “ You can’t be sick.” She’s more worried about herself, and the money he wouldn’t be making while he’s not at work, rather than his health and his well being. She needs him to work so he can make enough money for the fourth wall. She states ; “ It’ll be even more fun when we can afford to have the fourth wall installed.” Society has made her this was because everyone is supposed to feel and do the same things. Follow in each others footsteps, and if you don’t then you’re weird or an outcast.

Imagine life without being dependent on technology. People wouldn't be so focused on their phone and instead, would be focused on living, and doing all this fun things you could do if you wanted to. When you’re focused on your electronics, time flies by really fast and you aren't doing anything. If our society actually talked to people instead of texting, we could express our feelings more easily, but in text you could say “Lol”, and not really be laughing. Our society vs Fahrenheit 451 is the same because people always are focused on their electronics and are lifeless or “dead”.

In Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451” Montag starts off as seemingly normal as he goes about his job, home life and inner conscious. As elements are introduced, it is clear that psychologically he has been trained to think a certain way and live his life as if it were written, or programmed. Ray Bradbury creates this world that seems to promote “sameness” in Montag’s society, and clearly discourages any deviation of one’s job or role in society. In the course of the story, Montag ‘sinner peace is interrupted when he encounters a woman named Clarisse on his way home from work. From this moment, Montag is intrigued, and his inner psychological consciousness is impacted in a way that will change the way he sees his role in society, personal, professional, and even love life. His relationship with himself, his wife Mildred, his boss Beatty, and his coworkers, and finally the most impactful Clarisse. This affects Montag, and help him see his dystopian society for what it truly is, and how he’s been serving it.

Our society that we live in at this moment may be headed for destruction.

Guy lives in a society in which the government outlaws books because they cause people to ponder ideas and develop new ones. The stories stripped from their lives as if they had never existed, the citizens of this society blindly follow their government. Throughout the novel, the main character Guy Montag

In 1953, American author and screenwriter, Ray Bradbury, in his novel, Fahrenheit 451, utilizes a dramatic and depressing tone alerting the effects of social issues in a dystopian society, such as order and identity in the world.

“The parlor was dead and Mildred kept peering in at it with a blank expression as Montag paced the floor and came back and squatted down and read a page as many as ten times, aloud.” Only reason she was paying him attention was because the parlor walls were dead. “I’m not angry,” Montag said, surprised- Mildred shrieked with laughter in the hall.”

First Mildred is self-centered in the book. You could say this because of the way she handed Clarisse’s death. She did’t care about what happened to her. Mildred said,” Whole family moved out somewhere. But she’s gone for good. This would make you think that it’s because she doesn’t love anyone but herself. When anybody loves someone or something, they tend to care more about it or them. So if it doesn’t effect her why would she care about it . This is why she is self-centered. Society has made her like this by making it normal to not care.

Some of the resemblances between the society in Fahrenheit 451 and our society today are the governments’ hypocrisy, the gullibility of the citizens who fully support the government, and the fact that books are becoming rather extinct due to advances in modern technology.
