The place to be accepted for who you are
Into Harmony
People will undergo a series of tests so that we, as community leaders, will be able to be assign jobs that will allow people to help society; farmers, community organizers, city council members, cleaning committee, teachers, architects, medical staff, engineering, etc. These tests will help to open yourself to Harmony as well as help us see your inner strengths as a person.

American Dreams and Fahrenheit 451
In Harmony, we most definitely will honor this dream set out by the fathers of our country many hundreds of years ago. We want to be able to respect that every individual has the right to freedom and happiness in society. Even though we chose the jobs and positions of community members, we are still respecting what they want to do with their lives. We are just putting them in the best environment possible for them to be a happy human being.
In the novel, Fahrenheit 451, the American dream was no longer in existence; and even if it was, it was way different than it was set out to be. In the novel, people were not allowed to do anything out of the "norm," they weren't allowed to read, be a pedestrian, sit and talk as a family, and most definitely not question the government. To be different was against the law, and that is very different than Harmony.
Fahrenheit 451 and Harmony
In Fahrenheit 451, people were all the same; they all had dependence on technology, and they all had certain expectations that were expected upon them in society. If people were caught reading books, their books were burned by the firemen and they were taken off to insane asylums. Our society, Harmony, is more different than similar to the Fahrenheit 451 society, but their are still a few similarities. In Harmony, we embrace uniqueness within society. That, in fact, is the kind of people we want in this society. There is technology in our community, but only in a minute amount, and also it is only used to help improve everyday life. In Harmony, there are many community libraries and books that people are allowed to read, really any book you can think of. Even though there are few similarities, Harmony is very different than the distopian society of Fahrenheit 451.
Harmony drawbacks
Another drawback is that by giving people freedom, we are oppressing them. We are making them harmonious even when sometimes they don't want to be. Also, we are choosing jobs for people and not allowing them to freely decide what they want to do with their lives.
