Razumihin's Argument Against Free Think
Live for yourself, as you deem fit. Razumihin’s “inspirational” quote while said with good intentions is idiotic. Being wrong in your own eyes is failure. Failure is not an option when all people think the same. If all people desire the same things, utopia is an easily achieved feat. A true utopian society would purge against free thought. No one would question authority because authority would mirror the entire population’s single list of desires. A society where everyone has their wants and needs met while fighting and crime are a matter of fiction, is ideal for the world’s survival. Free thought is the root of all problems.
Consider the current case of the college application process. One is asked a series of questions asking about their

    Anthem Theme Essay

    This wonderfully crafted novel, Anthem by: Ayn Rand suggested many ideas concerning how effective and “perfect” utopian societies are. In the story our protagonist, equality, lives in a utopian society in the future however the societies technology isn’t very futuristic. All of what we have know has been stripped from the society to the point where they don’t have electricity and they use candles for light and primitive ways of farming instead of more productive ways to mass produce crops. Equality’s society is also practices extreme collectivism. The citizens were taught from a very young age that nothing good can come about unless you work together with your fellow brothers. Engraved in their palace of the world council there is a moral “we are one in all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, one, indivisible and forever.” However, in this “we” based world, equality finds himself drifting away from his brothers and after he finds this deserted tunnel he starts escaping to it and writing his own thoughts and performing his own experiments and he comes up with a light bulb, he then shows this light to a council of scholars who basically rejected his idea and he ran away from the society to a forest where he then lives in an abandoned house with another runaway citizen liberty, and they fall in love.…

    Analysis Of Gary Gutting's Article: What Makes Free Will Free

    Gary Gutting, the author of the article, What Makes Free Will Free? deliberates that we do not have free choice as we assumed which a researcher confirmed. By free choice, this means the conviction that our conduct is dictated by our own unrestrained choice and that we have complete power over our activities. Also, Gary Gutting examined various thoughts on determinism as the researchers suggested. Determinism refers to the conviction that all human conduct or any other occurrences have a cause. This is opposed to a person's will to accomplish an action. Gary Gutting discussed what David Hume, a philosopher, believed and the belief of David Hume is that both determinism and free choice are possible, they are compatible with each…

In The Giver (Lowry) Jonas’s leaders all split up the power and they all work together to make Sameness a better society.The Council of Elders is “...the most important job,” (Lowry, 16) because they have to run the entire society, and they have to choose all of the jobs for all of the population. A democratic government is a key factor since it allows the government control and it allows the people to express…

    Utopia: Not Possible

    Utopia: Not Possible

    If one were to ask 100 different people a subjective question, one is likely to elicit 100 different answers. This shows that everyone is different and has a wide range of views. Knowing this, one can assume that each one of their views on utopia must be equally as varied. Therefore, achieving a common utopia is near impossible. A utopia is a perfect place where everyone is happy both in society and in oneself. Motivation; an element of life that gives someone the drive to achieve a certain goal. Motivation is the adrenaline rush to life without which humans cannot progress as a civilization. It allows for the betterment of society, thus gaining some common ground between people which although does not constitute a utopia, will make a majority of people happy. Achieving utopia in society is impossible, but by using utopia as a goal or as a motivation, society will grow into a happier and more utopian like place, even though it can not reach actual utopia. A society similar to a utopia is possible through America’s motivation, and due to this, we have fruitful land, both agriculturally and socially. Ignorance, the opposite of motivation, leads to a dystopia, a place or environment in which people are miserable, unhappy or uncomfortable in, instead of a utopian-like society. This shows us that ignorance will not make society happy, thus deviating from the track to societal transcendence; the metamorphosis of society into a state of well-being. Due to each person having unique wants and necessities, the scope of a utopian society, is broadened and stretched until it can no longer be perceived. This adds to the number of reasons why utopia is not possible. Motivation is quintessential to attain near utopianism; a society that takes into account everybodys general view of utopia. Without motivation, society would suffer a dystopian lifestyle.…

    This was the main ideal of the characters in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf as they all felt true peace in their situation and only after a lot of pulling did they finally allow their true realities to be shown through the curtain of falseness and illusion. The option of conformity is one that everyone will face and that is when they must choose to try and be what they are not hiding behind what they think is right or to be their true selves no matter who or what…

    By following everyone else in society one becomes as good as a shadow on a wall. Individuality will slip through your fingers. Creativity will escape from your mind. You can only be you. No one else has another person’s traits and abilities, so take advantage of them. By not conforming to the society around, one will have a more simple and stress free life. People should not be broken down by other people and be told what to do. By listening to others makes one second guess their values and can make them feel bad for following them.
