Answer:

Harrison Bergeron's character was considered a danger to the society because of his physical and intellectual superiority to others; threatening their sense of equality.

Explanation:

Harrison Bergeron is a story by  Kurt Vonnegut Jr. In the story, Harrison Bergeron is considered a threat to society because he cannot be contained by the measures that his totalitarian society places on him. He refers to himself as the Emperor and constructed a detailed plot to overthrow the government due to his physical and intellectual superiority to others.

He is a rebellious and revolutionary hero who helped most citizens to grow to their true potential.

The story hammers on the fact that forced equality is not truly equality. Everyone can not be placed on equal level without suppression.

kakasveta [241]

This question is completely up to your personal experiences, and therefore I can't answer it unless I know you personally.

But I will give an explanation to what prejudice is so you can answer your question yourself.

<em>Prejudice is somewhat similar to discrimination, where you judge people based on what group they belong to (etc. race, gender, sexuality) without reason. Something similar to racism. People can be prejudiced because they belong to any group.</em>

<em />

I hope you can answer the question well. :)

What was a consequence of the Wounded Knee Massacre?
Ugo [173]

Answer: The correct answer is A.

The U.S. government signed the Second Treaty of Laramie and pushed Indians onto more remote reservations.

Explanation:

For much of the United States' period of westward expansion, white settlers' attempt to claim plots of land were met with fierce and sometimes violent resistance from indigenous peoples. This resistance intensified in the latter half of the 19th century as the US federal government repeatedly signed and violated treaties with various Plains tribal leaders. Most prominent among these were the Sioux Indians, of which the Lakota are a subgroup. The treaty of Fort Laramie in 1868 established the 60-million-acre Great Sioux Reservation and created agencies to represent the federal government among each tribe. So, the consequences therefore, if the Lakota stayed on the reservation and refrained from attacking white settlers, the Treaty of Lamarie will apply. Thank you.
