According to <span>Richard Dawkins, culture is a population of memes which are just "copy me" programs.

Just as genes reproducing themselves, memes are actions, behaviors, units of culture that are replicated through language or observation. 
This way of describing culture has some important ramifications:
first, culture is not a way of thinking that a certain population share, but in opposition is something we have in common with people with our same culture; 
second, where an individual experiment some degree of conflict between the cultural norms and its belief, this conflict is not caused by an external force but instead is a conflict that is taking place in their heads;
third, if you view culture as a similarity between people, like brown hair, it is much easier to remember that perspective matters;
lastly, this way of viewing culture gives us a measurable way of thinking about how culture is spread among different individuals.

Llana [10]

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.
