In this century, many authors have been producing many novels about utopian or idealistic society to describe the world in a perfect environment. For example, in The Giver, Lois Lowry tells the story of the absolute perfect community. In The Giver, there are full of many controlling in society such as controlling of relationships, career, languages, behavior and, knowledge in order to maintain peace and harmony. People must follow the strict rules for making the elimination of war or unpleasant feeling in society. Compared to a country like China, a social-communist country, there are many strict policies or devices to make China become a perfect community. For example, the Social Credit System, a vast ranking system that will monitor the population, and rank them based on the social credit system (Alexandra Ma). It aims to protect the community from having terrible people or pushing citizens under their control in their coun
try. This platform will encourage people in China to do an excellent role and keep themselves under the power of controls government. If they do infractions, the system will reduce their social credit score and they will be punished by the government. The punishments are banning to buy a ticket of flying, banning from the best store to buy groceries, banning from applying for the best job and, from public services. This system will catch and watch people inside out. Then there is no privacy at all. As mentioned before, The Givers controlling and Chinas Social Credit System have similarities and differences for making the best community to pushing people under government control like in several utopian novels. Both of controlling in The Giver and the social credit system should eliminate the monitoring of the population in the community, the society should be given the freedom to people for the community will be developed more.
