C.S. The Abolition of Man While reading The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis‚ I encountered a few questions concerning his view on Ethical Innovation and the dilemma conditioners face. It was a difficult book with many ideas that didn’t come completely clear to me at times. I agree with Lewis theory that ethical innovation is impossible. Everything we base ourselves on according to rational thought‚ morals‚ ethics‚ what is right and wrong‚ has been passed down to us in every kind

In "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut‚ the author creates a short story about a Dystopian society where any form of "unequal advantage" is frowned upon and dealt with by a method known as “Handicapping” a person. Handicapping was given based off the “advantage” that a person had‚ a few examples being the ballerinas forced to cover their faces to keep their beauty hidden or an overly intelligent person being forced to wear a mental radio within his/her own ear.

The story consisted of a couple who lived in a “perfect world‚” where everyone was so equal no one was better than each other. In shorter terms‚ everyone was the same due to the use of handicaps
