Question

In this story, equality is highly valued and extreme steps are taken to ensure that no one has an advantage over anyone else. List three ways that a person who is seen as more attractive, intelligent, or athletic might be handicapped by the government.

Answer 1

1. The government does not allow full potential to be reached if you are good at sports because not everybody does.

2. The government does not allow smarter people to push for a higher education because that would make them different.

3. Attractive people will not be able to use their looks for say modeling or something like that, because not everybody would be good looking enough to do that.

Answer 2

• An attractive model, who participated in anti-government demonstrations, is prevented from launching her new collection of clothes by local rulers.
• The government prevents athletes who are reportedly against the prevailing government system from participating in world or local Olympic competitions.
• The government prevents an author from launching a book that shows negative points or criticisms to the government.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some governments are very authoritarian and ideological. In this kind of governance, smart, attractive, athletic people who are against the tyrannical ideology of government can be persecuted and prevented from exercising their functions.
