Thoughts on society and The Giver

    As people said "memories are the treasure of mind" and they shape our personalities. Memories are who we are today. However, what are memories? and how we can perceive them?. Memories are information that are collected by the human senses and stored in our mind. These information can be recalled when needed or it can just stay there in our mind. All people perceive memories by experiencing them. These memories can bring happiness and sadness. They also can be used as a guide for our future attitudes and behaviors. Experiencing the right and the wrong things will help people to remember and to recall the right information that goes with the situation.

    I wonder once what would be different in the world if we had only one generation of memories. In my opinion, I think the world would be like the one in the Giver book. Some people will consider this as utopia but for me its dystopia. I think memories are meant to be shared. And it's not fair for one generation to have the memories. What is the point of these memories if no one is going to remember them? as they said " life is a beautiful straggle, and at the end of the day, all we have are memories".

    

    Rules are different from society to society. I always asked myself about lots of rules in all societies. who made them? and are the advantages of these rules more valuable than the disadvantages?. One of these rules is about the Chinese society. I wonder why they are forced to have only one child per family?. I know that there are trying to control people's birth because of the huge population, but I am bewilder how policymakers put such a planned birth policy. I am not sure if I am right, but I think that birth control is a personal decision and each person should be responsible for the consequences of his/her own decision.
