Fahrenheit 451post reading

Write a blog post that answers the following question: Which "Utopian" world should be more feared; one in which government's control is so oppressive that people have no choice for themselves, or one in which people are so falsely happy that they do NOT realize the oppression of their government's control?   Be sure to explain your answer with specific examples

In my opinion I feel that a “utopian world which governments control is so unjust that people have no choices for themselves” is to be feared more. I feel this way because people can actually see the role playing of injustice being made by the government but the fact is, is that they can’t do anything about it.
Everyday no matter where you are in this world you can seen injustice being made. For our school it's bullying. You see bigger, older kids standing over top of smaller, younger kids because they feel like they possess more power than them. And what do innocent bystanders do? They walk away because they don't want to get involved in the situation because it would make it “their problem”. Guidance counselors, teachers and administrators do everything in their power to prevent this from happening. You're probably thinking what's your point? My point is that imagine the guidance counselors, teachers, and administrators aren't there. In this occasion what's left is the bully which is the government and the victim is the society. What can they do now that the teachers aren't there?
Another example is that in Antz from the beginning that you are born you are given a job, and it doesn't matter what you want either. In Antz you are either given a job of a worker or a soldier. And you're stuck with it until you die basically. This shows that the ants in this movie had no say and no choice in what you wanted to do. And if you did you were considered selfish because it didn't matter about you it mattered about the “colony”.
My point that i am trying to prove when you can't express how you want to them how are you going to live like the government wants you to? What if you can't because you're either physically or mentally not ready for it? All these questions of fear begin to pop up into your head.
