In Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut, the interaction between George and Hazel develop Kurt Vonnegut’s social criticism as It shows how technology can dehumanize and desensitize people.
On their son's murder, George and Hazel's reactions are brief and Hazel due to her "low intelligence" hers is underwhelming. Due to George's handicap, he is unable to dwell on anything for so long. So, when he watches his son on television, by a loud sound in his head his recognition is blasted away. He went into the kitchen to get a can of beer after Harrison is shot. whereas, Hazel cries. she gets momentarily distressed about what happened. therefore, due to her "low" intelligence, she quickly forgets about what happened. and when inquired by her husband upon the reason of tear, she forgets stating “Something real sad on television.”
Hence, in such a Bergeron's society handicaps assure that no negative emotion distress them. Therefore, they feel a momentary pain upon Harrison is gunned down in front of them.

King’s speech is from the point of view of a fellow African American who seeks civil rights and will not rest until the African American community achieves equal rights in the United States, but only through nonviolent methods. He states that African Americans will keep striving for freedom, but at the same time, he encourages the African American community to not indulge in any wrong or violent deeds. Malcolm X also attempts to encourage the African American community to revolt against destructive inequality, but he advocates using force and violence when necessary. His words “the ballot or the bullet” are meant to serve as an ultimatum to the government. If African Americans are not allowed to vote, then they may turn to violence to achieve their goals.
