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>

This phenomenon is better explained by mass hysteria
Explanation:
Mass hysteria is a phenomenon whereby false information rapidly permeates among many people in the society or environment as a result of suspicion, rumors and fears caused by environmental, political, or other types of unfortunate incidences. In many instances, whenever there is mass hysteria, there is also a collective illusion about threats that don’t actually exist. The term “mass hysteria”—associated with masses of people—is also known by other names such as group hysteria, collective hysteria, mass psychogenic illness, or collective obsessional behavior.

One day I went to the store
I bought sugar and a pinwheel
With money from my mom.
On another day I was walking
And a car had some weird exhaust-
It smelled like lavender.
The calendar said there would be mist,
So maybe it was that instead.
I have faith that you will figure it out.
Answer: There is nothing wrong with gossip. Rumors are completely different.
Explanation:
Gossip is okay as long at it is harmless and truthful. Don’t repeat a rumor or spread a rumor. Until the rumor is turned into a fact there should be no need to spread it.
