Harrison Bergeron is a dystopian short story about the fallacy of making everyone equal in society.  This equality is then used to control all its citizens.  With this satire, Kurt Vonnegut raised questions about "the irrational fears of socialism".  

Themes: Rules and Order; Technology (think about television in this one); Competition; Appearances: Equality.
