What Is A Perfect Society In The Giver

A perfect society represented by "The Giver" is a community where there is no war. In this book only peace and the supposed greater good rule over all aspects of life. Also people never starve and are never rude,they take "wonder pills" to suppress emotion and drive. Furthermore the community uses every resource to its fullest potential,even trash. There are positives and negatives to this perfect society.The positives in "The Giver" are no disease ,famine or over population. The negatives to this are assisted suicide, authoritarianism and no freedom to do what you want at any time or any day. In my opinion I'd rather live in this society because at least if you don't like it you have an opportunity to change it if people around you truly believe that the laws are wrong. However "The Giver" society does sound good but, it is just too perfect, it throws away all the hard work generations have fought for in the past. MF
