Harrison Bergeron Quickwrite

I think the pressure to be the same comes from both outside forces and from personal desires. Outside forces want everyone to be the same so then there's no evil competition between people. Power can change people. You also have personal desires to be the same so then you won't feel bad that you're not as smart, or feel excluded when you're smarter than the others. I think being the same would make some people happy, but not the majority. I think they'd prefer to act on their own, because acting on your own gives you responsiblility and you learn to make choices by yourself, not others. Also because by acting on your own, you make your own mistakes, which helps you improve in life.
