How is the U.S. culture different from the novel The Giver?
Answer 1
For one thing, we can see in color.
Answer 2
There are numerous fundamental differences between the world in The Giver and the United States. Some of these include:
Dictatorship vs. Democracy: The Giver's world is a dictatorship where the leadership has no accountability to the people. The US is a democracy where people vote for their leaders and can hold them to account.
Predeterminism vs. Choice in Life: In The Giver's world, every person's life is arranged and directed by a government that "knows" what people "should do". In the US, any person can make any choice as to who to marry, what job to work in, and what to want in life.
Restricted Access to Knowledge vs. Open Access:In The Giver's world, only certain individuals are provided with very important information, such as history or science. By contrast, in the US, almost all information can be accessed publicly except state secrets.
Purpose for Life vs. Life as a Purpose: This is a nuanced point, but in The Giver, a life is only worthwhile if it can be placed in the predeterministic system. By contrast, in the US, just living is purpose enough to be alive; the person need not be "useful" to the society to have a right to life.
Basically, feeling lonely is feeling like you're either missing or lacking the presence or obtaination of a person/object. For example, if you feel lonely because you miss someone, your brain develops a mindset that you are alone, and that you need to see that person.
I hope that helped! :)
I agree with u. But i think wen ur missing that person (whom u love so much) u are not in the present world. Always u will b thinking of the past, which u shared wit that person,which makes u feel that ur alone. And at this time ur frnds might not b able 2 understand u. Only u can solve this.
