Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut

             Moreover, the only solution that can overcome this issue is to change bad ideas and realize that such ideas only create chaos among humans. Vonnegut stated that "bad chemicals" refer to bad ideas which he conveys that a wrong idea cause enormous amount of death through the satirizing of human thoughts. For instance, "When the Germans were full of bad chemicals, their flag looked like this (Swastika)Here is what their flag looked like after they got well again (try colors)After they got well again, they manufactured a cheap automobile (the beetle)" (137-138). Vonnegut shows how human thinking shifts from bad to better, and only that kind of change would provide a solution to people. If humans were created for discrimination or separation on purpose, then people would require the distinction between colors. If they need to distinguish colors, then people should admire and thank each other for being different. Therefore, in order to make a change for the current situation, humans must be aware of where the problem comes from, and to stop the bad thinking.
             Next, class is the separation of human rights and wealth. According to Vonnegut, the problem that he satirizes through class is to show how human rights had been ignored and people are only subject to wealth. To emphasize this, he demonstrates the difference between the classes in the country: "This country, where there was still plenty of everything, was opposed to communism. It didn't think that earthlings who had a lot should share it with others unless they really wanted to, and most of them didn't want to. Dwayne Hoover was fabulously wealthy and Kilgore Trout had doodley squat" (13). Vonnegut had been impolite in satirizing class because he believes that it not only shows how Trout was inferior to Dwayne, but the difference makes one being the gratification of one's desire for power. Vonnegut portrays that such an idea only creates evil in the town and it causes dehumanization by recognizing that one is inferior to another.
