Dystopias


         
Make Room! Make Room! Is a interested story because it was about a police detective andy Rusch lives in half a room, sharing it with Sol, a retired engineers who has adapted a bicycle generator to power an old television set and a refrigerator.

Harrison Bergeron was a cool story also because it was base on people of being equal and no one shall be better or even smarter than anyone everyone had to be equal, if they didn't it will be consequences behind that if they wasn't equal.

A Brave New World this story is a good story its about a girl name  Miranda was raised for most of her life on an isolated island, and the only people she ever knew were her father and his servants, an enslaved savage, and spirits, notably Ariel. When she sees other people for the first time, she is understandably overcome with excitement, and utters, among other praise, the famous line above. However, what she is actually observing is not men acting in a refined or civilised manner, but rather drunken sailors staggering off the wreckage of their ship. Huxley employs the same irony when the "savage" John refers to what he sees as a "brave new world".

My favorite dystopia is the move called The Matrix , this movie is so interested that I could watch it everyday and not get tired of it. The matrix is a action movie about Neo a guy that didn't know what was going on he got put over one time and gotting a insect inside of his belly button , and Neo met these people that where fighters that saves people lives , and neo had to pick a pill it was blue and the other was red he had tp pick one of them , everyday Neo had to go train with this guy , this guy pick him because he haves faith in this boy and he know that one day it will be freedom again because he know that he will defeat the enemy one day that always killing people and treating people like slaves and etc.

             Characteristics of a Dystopian 
  • Propaganda is used to control the citizens of society.
  • Information, independent thought, and freedom are restricted.
  • A figurehead or concept is worshipped by the citizens of the society.
  • Citizens are perceived to be under constant surveillance.
  • Citizens have a fear of the outside world.
  • Citizens live in a dehumanized state.
  • The natural world is banished and distrusted.
  • Citizens conform to uniform expectations. Individuality and dissent are bad.
  • The society is an illusion of a perfect utopian world.

Stopping gang violence

Gang violence has been going on for many years Operation Gang Up, formed in 2011, is a community-based organization that connects citizens, law enforcement and elected officials to help identify, fight and prevent the spread of gangs. The Police Officers now estimates that there are now at least 1.4 million members of some 33,000 gangs across the country, and those numbers keeps growing. Operation Gang Up is a way to familiarize the community with signs of gang activity and stop gangs from infiltrating our communities. They adversely affect our communities with the ever-present threat of violence, increased crime rate and vandalism – casting a shadow of fear over neighborhoods. Residents in areas where gangs are rampant may not feel safe in their own homes, be afraid to sit on their own front porches, or fear for their children’s safety when they simply leave for school each day. No one should ever have to live with that constant fear. Our communities need concerted efforts from responsible officials at every level – federal, state and local – to forge aggressive solutions, particularly where there is a correlation between housing and crime.
