__Aim__ - Chase Charles In the novel anthem, a man is fighting against socialism and trying to regain his rights. In this book the government controls everyone and everything, rather than listening to the people. The man is going to try and revolt against the government and conquer the government. In the book the man loses everything to socialism while the government owns everything. In the book it says, “The greatest guilt today is that of people who accept collectivism by moral default…” (Rand). In this quote he means why accept defeat when you can revolt against the government. The author wants to really represent that defeat is not eminent. __Audience__ - Jacob Ahuero

The novel Anthem there is a man rebels against a society that is unfair. In a Socialist type of government individuals are not able to do much, the government controls the main industries and companies. When Socialism was in full force many people felt very left out they received little money and were not able to work in big businesses. Audience for this is very clear because people in these types of governments understand how this affects them. A quote from the ARI website says “I” has been banished from the language—a world of joyles [|s, selfless]  men permitted to exist only for the sake of serving the group” (ARI 1). They government is setup to where they only live for serving their group, which relates to the Socialist type of government.

__Cultural__ - Brendan Preuss

This affects culture in many different ways. It doesn't feel like you own anything in this kind of culture. You have the same thing as everybody else and will never have more than anyone else. You have to be a part of the government to have anything more that other people. Some people don't have anything that is personal it is just all government things. “Communism's effects on economies across the globe have been particularly disastrous” ( Results of Communism / Socialism). This shows that also it affects everyone's economy and everybody in the world is affected by these people.



__Historical Influence__ - Kyle Lorenz

Socialism is a way of organizing a society where the government controls major companies rather than individuals. Socialism is defined as moral cruelty because of the way it hinders the free will of its people. The man that provoked the thought of Socialism is believed to be Karl Marx. Ayn Rand Institute informed that, “ Ayn Rand’s novelette Anthem (1938) tells the story of one man’s rebellion against a totalitarian society” (ARI). The rebellion against a Socialist government is an effort to bring the attention to the leaders. Socialism has passed Capitalism on the scale of moral imbalance among its citizens. Problems with Socialism have came clear that having the government in control of businesses, decreases the amount of freedom the citizens have.
