Harrison Bergeron, projected onto a stage representing a society's compliance with a system of government based on equality for the weak, who are monitored and controlled by a dictatorial government. This story is a literary example that gives us a system of government, where the law was created with the intention of limiting individuals and transforming them into beings with equality of implementation, controlling them through transmitters or obstacles in their body so that people cannot freely exercise their natural abilities and any kind of right view. According to Jose Alvarez, "if everyone were equal in every purpose, various obstacles would not be necessary." A government limited to the weak, in a society in which control was exercised only by the government and the people had no right to freedom of expression". Show a dictatorial system, in which laws are enacted without the consent of society, depriving individuals that can develop of a free world, keeping people controlled and disabled mentally and physically and people can do nothing to get out of oppression, for fear of breaking the law and generating chaos in society.Harrison Bergeron 2We could make a comparison between the Harrison Bergeron's scenario and Marx's theory, indicating that “the determining variable is the mode of production. Changes in this context produce changes in the way groups are attached to the technology of production. This economic determinism is reflected in the theory of Marx's law. Marx's theory of law, which has strongly influenced social and jurisprudential thought throughout the world, can be summarized in three main assumptions: (1) law is a product of the evolution of economic forces; (2) reads... middle of the paper... a world of real equality, where there are no dreams, no competition and where we are led by a government that marks and proves us as disabled. A social subject, living under the total control of a Government, which thinks only of its own interest and has a society without rights, without consensus, without participation in the creation of laws and without the ability to grow through education and work.REFERENCESLaw and Society, Ninth edition, by Steven Vago.
