Answer:

straw man

Explanation:

This passage presents a straw man fallacy that is an argument in which the person ignores the position of the opponent in the debate and replaces it with a distorted version that represents this position in a wrong way.

In this passage the speaker shows a distorted version of what Senator O'Reilly. The senator said that people needed to "support the initiative of channeling more money into schools," but the speaker distorts that argument by saying that the senator does not care "about the children of our state and their future."

The term fallacy derives from the Latin verb fallere, which means to deceive. A false reasoning with the appearance of truth is called a fallacy. In logic and rhetoric, a fallacy is a logically incoherent, baseless, invalid, or flawed argument in the attempt to effectively prove what it claims.

What ultimately happened as a result of the drive for equality"Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut
Inga [223]

Answer:

What happened as a result of the drive for equality in "Harrison Bergeron" is that society became both average and unfair.

Explanation:

"Harrison Bergeron" is a short story by author Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Set In the year of 2081, when the American government is able to provide total equality. However, this equality comes in a strange and most unfair manner. People are not allowed to be themselves so that others - less beautiful, intelligent or capable - do not feel bad about their disadvantages. The Handicapper General forces those who have advantages to be handicapped. Harrison Bergeron, a fourteen-year-old, who has astonishing looks and intelligence is forced to wear all sorts of handicappers to make him average like everyone else - weights, teeth caps, earphones, heavy spectacles, a red rubber ball on his nose, some head gear.

<u>As we can see, the drive for equality took a bad and sudden turn. In Harrison's society, no one is truly free. People cannot voice their opinions or express their true selves in any way. They suffer, of course, but they have grown used to and afraid of it at the same time. The government will punish those who dare to be spectacular (Harrison is shot and killed by the Handicapper General when he removes his handicaps on TV). Society must remain average to be equal, even if this equality is unfair.</u>
