Looking Backwards. My book I'm having difficulty.?

Boston in the year 2000 an unappealing, regimented society or, as its defenders argue, one that, in making equality the basic principle of social life and by providing for its citizens from the cradle to the grave, eliminates domination from human affairs for the first time in history?

I have no idea how to answer this hahaaa

    Gee, why the heck not? It' not like it's not even a dang question or anything...oh, wait! It's not. What a pile of hooey from your teacher (or I'm assuming only a teacher could take the PC propaganda this far to act like this is even a question, once more it should be answered like Teacher wants.)

    But, hey, I was taught how to be a teacher, so I know what is expected from Teacherly Perspective. You have four choices (and the last one could give you a lot of trouble, heartache and a bad grade, but it's up to you if you want to press the issue. lol)

    1. Was 2000 A.D. Boston "an unappealing, regimented society?" If you say Yes, then you explain why.

    2. Was 2000 A.D. Boston "one that, in making equality the basic principle of social life and by providing for its citizens from the cradle to the grave, eliminates domination from human affairs for the first time in history?" If you agree with all that crap...errrr, uhhh... I mean teacherly propaganda, then you explain why.

    3. If you think there is a way for it to be both or neither, explain why.

    4. Explain why it's not a question but is one massive pile of PC propaganda horse apples.

    Did that help? Personally? Boston is a city with many people in it. It is a bit like my city (Philly) with similar architecture and history and a hodge-podge of different people, but it is a city, not something one person can definitively project what each person there thinks, agrees with, or perceives themselves to be. For instance, I already mentioned I'm Philadelphian. My city is a filthy checkerboard cross section of multiple nationalities living both together and separately that smells like a dirty crotch in the middle of summer and a recycling center in the middle of winter, but no one else in the city would even think of it like that, nor do I expect them to. I would imagine, the reality of what Boston was and is is like that too. ;)
