Read the excerpt from "Harrison Bergeron." Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn’t think about anything except in short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.

by suggesting that forced uniformity specifically benefits individuals who are not smart
by suggesting that forced uniformity encourages certain people to break the law
