    Ayn Rand perfectly captured the idea of a collectivist society in her book, Anthem, by creating a vivid image of the dangers of losing one’s sense of self.

His statement personifies a man’s spirit,the perseverance of man, and implies that there are no restraints strong enough to thwart human nature.…

Where did it ever exist except in the single instance of Shays’ rebellion?” Shays Rebellion was a period of time where farmers stole arms from the government and forcefully took over large areas of land. They rebelled because they were being put in jail for being unable to pay off their taxes.

However if society were to act in such a way it would cause a major step back in the development that people have worked so hard to achieve. After all, isn’t it every country’s goal to find new advancements to better life in today’s modern civilization? In some parts of the globe there are governments that attempt to limit and control their country’s people both physically and mentally. Both Ayn Rand and Kurt Vonnegut imply how if these governments were taken to such an extreme level of totalitarianism it would crumble that government’s people in their stories Anthem and “Harrison Bergeron”.…

By depleting the mind of knowledge, a man cannot be in control of his own self and therefore is more easily conquered. In Anthem by Ayn Rand, the leaders and society in her book seek to accomplish control by choosing the jobs for the people, keeping the word “I” unknown, and maintaining a sense of unity from birth.…

The book Anthem by Ayn Rand, takes place in a collective society, all independence is eradicated. People can’t choose their name, can’t ever be alone, and never say the word “I”. They are mindless workers with the same routine everyday, until one man realizes the truth to life. The behemoth rulers of this society are the only ones who can think freely and make decisions. This sadistic society remains that way for many years because all people that are born are raised the same, brainwashed. They cannot be independant and don’t feel…
