In Fahrenheit 451, books are banned (no one can read books or even have books). Think of one or two items that would cause major problems if they were banned. Then write about the effects on those items being banned on society. These items would be items that we already used but now cannot. Also discuss how enforcing that ban would take place (do not use firemen or burning as an enforcement).

I think that something that would be banned is uniforms.It would cause a major problem because everyone would want to wear tight clothes.Boys would wnt their pants hanging past teir butt and that would cause a big problem.I think that t would be a problem.I also think that no shoes would be aproblem.

The two major causes of the problem would be that people wouldn't know anything basically. They would know how to read. It would be a problem if the kids in the story had school and they wouldn't know what to do. In a way it cold also effect the society. There would be a low percent of literacy rate as well.

I believe books being banned would be complete chaos. Books have provided us with much information in technology, health treatment, cars and much more. Without books us humans wouldn't know what to do with ourselves. On the other hand witht the new technology arising, we could be looking at a book free world. It's scary to imagine but it's possible.

If their was books , and every book that we had in our house got bannded and burned. Than one major thing would be school , and the other would be home. Because in some schools they don't have pramethian boreds or any thing that could click with a pen. Some schools have chalk boreds , nothing but paper. So it is hard for most of us.

I think they banned books because they don't want to find out about the past.How they used to have atual cars that went on wheels or how people had grass.And how there was acual nature.They did't want them to find out what thier secrets of what they did. Or how what happened in the past affected the futer.

I believe if text books were banned our nation would lose knowledge.Without text books we would not have them in school.Without text books teachers would not be able to show us examples of problems.Text books hold information that we need to know like information on a subject or how to solve a problem.

I believe that if school and books were banned, us human beings would be nothing but cavemen eating mud. While most kids today just think school is boring, school is actually a necessary part of life. If there was no school I think we would all just be the same as are ancestors when the human race first started. I don't think this generation (or any generation) were there is tons of technology would want to start all over again and be trying to start a fire, instead

If we had no phone, computer, or anything that we use we would be in a world of trouble and poverty because we wouldn't have any technology because it wouldn't be invented yet. If all the books we had were gone we would be a disaster because what if we need to give a book report about a topic but we didn't have a book because it would be gone.All the technology we had would be gone because of some little world. if all books were gone little kids wouldn't be able to read and not go to school and read.

I think that the way of teaching would be hurt by this ban. We wouldn't be able to learn like we can now. We wouldn't be able to use textbooks in class to help us learn. We use textbooks almost every day in class and if they were banned then we would have a very hard time in school. School would be a disaster without books.

I feel that if all technology was banned the whole community would be in chaos. The whole community would be in chaos because not searching the web just to find a simple fact, answer, or just to catch up in a class. Imagine all the students who miss a day at school, and the adults who miss a day at work. What about trying to print information forms; people trying to get a job without an application because he/she did not know what it looks like. Students trying to write a 5 page essay just by hand because technology was banned.

What if government and jail were banned, then the world would be in an apocalypse. The government and jail affect the way everybody will live. Jail prevents criminal activity, but now criminals can run free. Also, the government enforces the jail, since there is no government, then the gangs and criminals will take over.

I think that if money and art/music were banned our lives would be terrable! If we didn't have money it would be difficult for us to buy or trade things. Because one object might not be as valuable to you as it is to another person. Say that you got a family heir loom from your great grandma well that might have a higher value to you than it would to someone else because they don't have centimental value of that object like you do. There for making it less valuable to them. So neither of you would feel like your getting enough for your object, which would probably cause a fight.

Personally, I believe that the society would have a major problem if sports were outlawed. Sports help keep us active and fit. Without sports like football, basketball, baseball, etc., a lot of people would be out of shape. It also gives people jobs. For instance, people like Tim Tebow and other NFL players make a decent amount of money playing football.

I believe that without computors or books, the world that we live in will be ruined. In today's society, we need computers and books to do many things. Computers are used for just about everything from high level science, to easy access to research, and for educational purposes that you may not get from books. We need books for education and other learning purposes. Books are the basic foundation of all information that we have today. Without this, we wouldn't have the right information. Imagine what it would be like to have no research method. Life would be terrible!

the one thing that would make this world crazy if it was banned is modern technology. Phones, ipads, iphones, tablets, computers, and video games; if those things weren't invented, what would be U.S.A. now, what be total wasteland in a few days. Everyone is always texting or playing a game to actually live. some people would actually use it for good purposes like calling family, police, fire and E.M.S. to get help. some technology is helpful. medical technology a has increased and that's a good thing. if it was banned, the entire country would collapse and be taken over. i think the world would be a disaster without books. i sure would hate to be Montag right now! i think that the world wouldn't survive without technology. we seriously, are fat. we are fat of technology. we need some technology nutrisystem! only use it when you need it. seriously guys!

There are many things in this world today, that would be hard for us to live without. Many people take things like cars and technology for granted, but what if it was gone in a flash? If they made driving cars and using technology illegal, it would be extremely hard or nearly impossible for some of us to evolve from the way things are now. If these two things were against the law, things will change dramatically.

I believe two key elements that can help control and bring society together for the communities well being would be the removal of Internet. This would control the flow of information and what information is received. If we banned Internet in this day in age it would blow citizens away. They would be lost and not know what to do. In this society we are so use to revciving information quickly and everything handed to us on a silver plater. Banning internet would bring the community closer together.
