The story mocks the idea that everyone can be equal.

While everyone may have equal rights -- and equal rights are certainly necessary -- everyone will not be equally smart, good looking, talented, etc.

Vonnegut mocks the idea that it is possible to achieve this kind of equality. The Handicapper General takes this idea to the extreme by bestowing life-altering handicaps to everyone in an effort to make everyone "equal."

As Harrison Bergeron himself proves, this type of equality is false and doomed to fail. Even his handicaps cannot prevent him from being greater than others.

Bergerons parents satirize those who go along with ideas even though these ideas may hurt them -- when his wife suggests he remove some of the weights around his neck, he refuses.

How music can help increase creativity? <br> No links please
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Music can help increase creativity because it can be inspiring and help you think of new things. Personally, I listen to music when completing school work or just doing daily tasks like chores. Oftentimes, my best ideas come to me while I am listening to music. I also believe that the type of music you are listening to has a big impact on how creative you are. Some listen to classical, rap, r&b, or country and that helps them get creative. In conclusion, I believe that music can help you become and be more creative.

Explanation:

Hi there!

I hope this helped! Good Luck! :)
