Dystopian Life Have you ever wondered what living in a dystopian society is like? Anthem and “Harrison Bergeron” both take place in a society built off equality.

Roemer engages Rawls’s idea of a “resource bundle” with Nozick’s‚ Sen’s‚ Dworkin’s‚ and Arneson’s theories‚ shying away from evaluating microcosms of inequality on a realistic scale. Roemer predicates the basis of his argumentation upon Rawls’s broad assumption that an ideal society‚ providing resource bundles of food‚ education‚ and housing to all‚ will result in people with a self-driven “conception of welfare.” The problem with Rawls’s theory lies in the assumption that once given the supplies

Most of my life I’ve been asked because you’re Mexican do you celebrate any American holidays or do you speak English. I was born in Las Vegas but both of my parents were born in Mexico. Culture doesn’t define who you are it can either be a part of you or it can’t. Most people don’t even know which ethnicity they are because their mix race and their family celebrates different types of holidays.

it okay to divide gender roles? Perhaps when playing a competitive sport. Why? Is it the different capability men and women have? Is it fair to judge women? No‚ especially when the female gender is being picked on harshly. Various cultures depict equality based on their customs‚ however women need to take advantage of getting their voice heard. Both of my grandparents and parents came from Mexico‚ which makes them Hispanic. In their culture men consider themselves as hunters and women as gathers

personally feel that we should have two houses‚ where the first is equal for all states and the second is based on how much the state contributes to the treasury.

We have come so far as a society with women equality‚ allowing a wage gap to continue just negates the progress we have worked so hard to achieve. I would like to see stricter guidelines regarding the wage gap between women and men. I feel that the Equal Pay Act should be rewritten with rules that
