Currently I am reading the book The Giver, and as I have just started there is something I noticed right off the bat: Everything in this community is organized. If you have read this book then you know that it's not the organization that is good, but it's more of an over-done organization. Everything has a function, there are many rules, and everyone is assigned a job based on who they are. Even your kids are chosen for you! I think that while being organized and everything having a place is nice; there should be more freedom and not knowing aspect to their lives.
The reason I think that everything being organized is good is because you can know where everything is, and have a quick easy job locating things, people, places and more. Being organized and everything having a place is nice, it makes people and things feel like they have a purpose and that they are important to the society. This is just one of the many reasons why being organized is good.
The reason why I think being organized to extent that the community in my book is bad is because there is not enough free will. People should be allowed to make decisions and make mistakes without being corrected by someone else. The whole point of living is to learn from experience and I think people in this community are being robbed of having a life. The most basic of things are determined for you, your interests, your job, your kids and family too! I feel like in this book things have gone too far. Too many people are missing out because of too much organization.
