A few differences would be things like: The children are adopted and do not live with their real mothers. Each child is not allowed to have time to play based on what their parent want. Children are classified in age groups and get toys to play with based on their age group.
In The Giver , children are raised without parental bonds, in a strictly controlled environment that values conformity and suppresses individuality. In contrast, our society emphasizes emotional connections, personal choice, and the importance of experiencing the world freely as children grow up. These differences highlight the varied philosophies on child-rearing and the significance of family in nurturing a child's development.
