My first impressions:
- in the beginning:strict, forced (contra)
- after reading a few pages:safety, equality, protection,common weal, interested in a happy society,low crime rate(in aspect of homicide and theft) (pro)
- influenced by a higher authority (the giver)
- no individual development(everything is given and planned by a commitee if the giver consents)=all equal
- rules-if you break up with the rules you wil be released
- rule for example is that you are only allowed to have two children ,one male and one female;(choosen by commitee and nurtured by a "special department" ,the Nurturers)
- emotional community (talk about their feelings after dinner)
- divided in strata (divided in age, career and position in justice-administration)
- different stratas have different functions
Don't you think this rule "two children - a boy and a girl" is totally silly? I don't really understand why the committee makes that choice. Who's the Committee anyways?
AntwortenLöschenI think the comitee consist of some Elders (p.19/line 30f :"Of course the Elders are so careful in their observation and selection"+ p.18/line 31 "the Commitee of Elders"). I also think that there are several different comitees (p.17/line 38 "A(!) commitee was studying the idea")-the a is undefined.
AntwortenLöschenI also think that this rule "two children-a boy and a girl " isn't erroneous because the community is buil up on equality and if every "family unit" has just two children- one boy and one girl it really fits into their system but otherwise i think this rule is silly but that refer on ma own social views, habits andeducation.I think for the Chinese politics it's not as erroneous because they have this "one-child-politics" even if they have many excpetions.
OK there are some typing errors in between my comment but i think it's readable isn't it?
