Note: This entry and the previous one are simulated homework assignments that I am doing for evaluating a lesson plan I'm working on for a class. That explains why the content has nothing to do explicitly with education.
My personal Dystopia would have to be pretty bad. I suspect it would be run by a huge totalitarian government that demanded high taxes from its citizens and completely excluded the masses from governmental involvement. There would be no video games for any one. In fact, computers and the internet would be outlawed in general. Think modern day China but with even more restrictions. Everyone would be constantly monitored by surveillance cameras and microphones embedded in their clothing. Individual expression would be squashed so thoroughly that anyone with a different hair style would be subject to imprisonment for dissenting against the state. The workforce would be divided arbitrarily with most people trained in manual labor and only a very select few (likely anyone with connections to the leaders of the ruling government) would receive formal education that would allow them to work in higher end jobs. All writing would be geared towards indoctrinating people into the ways of the state, with no uncensored material being generated anywhere.
