Answer:
1. Propaganda is used to control the citizens of society.
2. Information, independent thought, and freedom are restricted.
3. Citizens have a fear of the outside world.
4. Citizens live in a dehumanized state.
5. The society is an illusion of a perfect utopian world.
Explanation:
The passage in the question is from the very first paragraph of the text of Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron", a novel about a dystopian world. This excerpt shows the perceived "perfect utopian world' whereas the citizens still seem to be under the constant threat of being 'punished'.
The passage is also an example of the characteristics of a dystopic world that is the setting of the story. Here, propaganda is used as a means to control the citizens, with the restriction of the information and various other independent thoughts. This led to the fear and reluctance of the citizens in associating with the outside world, and the dehumanization of the perceived perfect society. All these is an illusion that the society they are living is the perfect utopian world.
Answer:
encouraging the settlement of frontier lands.
Explanation:
The Northwest Ordinance, also known as the Ordinance of 1787, was a policy that established a governmental structure and the procedures to admit territories as a state in Union. The Ordinance also guaranteed equality to the newly states with the original thirteen states.
The Homestead Act of 1862 was an act passed by President Abraham Lincoln. The act granted Americans, including freed slaves, to claim public lands in the West for a small filing fee up to 160 acres. The landowners were required to build a home, farm the land, and make it a resident place for five years.
Therefore, both the acts were passed to encourage the settlement of frontier lands.
Southerners wanted to develop industry because they relied on the North for their industry, but since they were in a war the North was not giving them anything.
