In the Giver community: No hunger. No disease. Life is orderly. Old are taken care of. There is great government and rule system. A strong form of rule in the community provides safety and security. Firm rules and guidelines along with obeying citizens create a perfect environment. Some very important rules that must be followed are that there is no physical contact and proper speech and grammar must be used. Rules such as these create a perfect environment for all citizens of the community. “After the Peace of Westphalia (1648) the Holy Roman Empire was little more than a loose confederation of about 300 independent principalities and 1,500 or more semi sovereign bodies or individuals... Napoleon I finally destroyed the empire. After defeating Austria and its imperial allies in 1797 and 1801, he annexed some German land and suggested that the larger territories compensate themselves by confiscating the free cities and ecclesiastical states.” This article relates to our topic because it proves how a strong government with firm rules can lead to greatness while without a central government and good rules a community will collapse. Hunger is not a problem in the giver community. Food is provided for all residents. Good size portions are distributed to all people who are citizens of the community. Hunger is a large problem that many places have to face, but our community avoids. The article below written by Tamer El-Ghobashy for the New York Daily News proves how hunger affects the world. “In much of New Orleans yesterday, food and water remained in short supply. Medical help was nowhere to be found. And answers were impossible to come by. Then hope ran out and it was the biggest loss of all. At the city's convention center, a frustrated and angry mob rioted, furious that they had been dumped at a place where there was no food, no water and no one in charge. At the Superdome, fights broke out in the huge crowd that assembled on an upper parking deck. The crowd jostled for position and hoped eventually to get on a bus to somewhere, anywhere. Children cried, women fainted.” In the community of The Giver, no one ever gets sick. It is this way because there is no harmful bacteria traveling about. Pathogens are not spread because the ill are treated immediately. Children born with diseases are immediately released in order to stop the spread of an arising epidemic. Food poisoning is avoided because of the care put into the making and distribution of food. This community is very conscientious about stopping diseases and epidemics. An article on http://www.freerepublic.com states, “The outbreaks in South Korea, Japan and Vietnam have been caused by the H5N1 strain of avian influenza viruses. …can range from a mild disease that has only minor effects to a highly infectious fatal version. It spreads in the air and in manure.” This article relates to our topic because no one in our community would be able to get this disease because our community is disease-free. No longer will there be hunger, disease, or war. The rules will be enforcedIf you support the Giver community… Support a perfect community with peace and safeness. Join the Giver community today.
