- Through his story, "Harrison Bergeron". Kurt Vonnegut expresses how the government not only abuses their power but go to the extremes of hindering it's people to think, act and live for themselves. He shows this by continuously referencing the cause and effect of George's mind. If George's mind becomes curious of the government's ways, the radio in his ear scatters his thoughts again. We also see how their society's definition of equality is excruciating. In fact most of its people are handicapped and that seems to be their way of humbling a person. An efficient way to keep their people from thriving and being successful. Kurt Vonnegut has an extreme and eerie way of getting that point of across, but it is a straightforward way to address such a real-life problem.
