Are there any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? what are they, and how do they relate? does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?

I think there are some current situations that relate to this novel. First, many people in the world including children and adults are getting lazy and do not care about how the world is going on. They are spending there time doing Internet, watching TV, and etc. But in this novel Montag shadows this problem and he kind of resolves the problem. At first he was afraid to change stuff but he made his mind certain. Montag began to read and think of himself, but in the middle of story Beatty finds out Montag hiding books. Second, some parents are giving up there child because they are born handicap or have some kind of disease. But that's a bad thing to do for your children. They still are born because they are selected.We never know how they will become. You have to have grateful mind for yourself and others. And the novel shadow this problem by people who are burning the books and getting rid of knowledge. But it shows the way to get fixed too. Montag realizes that they should not keep burning houses or books. So he meet with a man called Grag and other people who read books and go against the government and keeps thinking deeper about how they can resolve this problem.So they finally make a decision to reconstruct in the place where they lived. As you can see in this book "Fahrenheit 451" you have to make a decision that you might not regret and think.
