I think that one of the big events leading up to the change to Sameness is racism. The Elders tried to fix it by making everybody the same by giving everybody assigned houses, spouses, and kids. Although the elders made the community very secretive, they also took out a lot of pressure on people. They don’t have to make their own difficult decisions but people still should and have to in the real world. MADDOX
