The society has misunderstood the context of equality from equality of opportunity to equality of outcome.
Explanation:
Harrison Bergeron is a dystopian science-fiction short story by American writer Kurt Vonnegut, first published in October 1961.
The novel is an exploration of the fine balance between what equality of opportunity in a free society means in connection to what complete and total equality in a society would amount to.
This is a satire on collectivization in that if all humans are equally smart, weak or physically able there will be no growth or no scope of growth within that society and no potential for human development.
