One main commonality between All the Troubles of the World and The Minority Report are that they both can predict the future. They both have technologies that allow them to know if someone is going to commit a crime. This allows them to stop the person from commiting the crime, therefore having a better, happier society. In The Minority Report, the system in place to predict crimes is under the Precrime Agency. The Precrime Agency, mostly run by John Anderton, has three mutant humans that no longer have any spiritual needs and wants, and mostly mindless, called Precogs. These three Precogs each predict a slightly different future, with one of their reports being the Minority Report, which is the one that is least likely to happen. The other two reports, The Majority Reports, will have one of them be the correct future. …show more content…

Multivac is a machine, where all of the information on all the people in the world is stored. When people turn eighteen, they participate in a swearing in ceremony, where they give all of their personal information Multivac themselves, instead of their parents. Multivac then takes all of the information and looks at the patterns and is able to predict the likelihood of people commiting crimes. Multivac gives a percentage of how likely the crime is going to be committed, and the lower the chance of the crime happening, the less likely that the person is to be arrested. The use of technology that predicts crime in both stories gave both societies a false sense of security, but when Ben’s father was arrested and Anderton was told he was going to commit a crime, it showed that their society’s had

    During the early 1920s to late 1940s, people in the whole world suffered from the two darkest periods in the humankind history. One period was, from 1929 to 1932, the longest and deepest economical depression, the Great Depression. The other, right after that, was the most widespread and deadliest total war, the Second World War. In those periods, people were devastated; millions of millions people died, some died from hunger, others died in the war. Some survived, but they surrendered; lived like a walking dead. The physical harm was not deadly enough for people, but the mental harm was. Those people who did not have a strong sense of love, moral, or spiritual belief died mentally. They were, weak-minded and shiftless, the ‘sheep’. In contrast, there were the real ‘goats’; they were enduring and constructive. They fought against the evil and followed their beliefs tight to avoid being lost in the dark. These people knew how precious love, moral, or belief could be in the adversity and, thus, made an utmost effort to uphold these senses. Whether one can hold one’s own in adversity depends on how strong one’s love, moral, or belief are.

  • Donald Bloxham's The Final Solution: A Genocide

    1942 Words  | 4 Pages

    Bloxham's book ‘The final solution: A genocide’ has brought about much criticism and debate. In this book Bloxham “seeks to situate the mass-murder of European Jewry between 1941 and 1945 within the broader history of European genocide from 1875 to 1945” . In this, he challenges the uniqueness of the holocaust, and presents the argument that the full meaning of the holocaust and final solution can only be completely understood, if it is placed in the larger context of genocide. Bloxham argues that “the history of the holocaust is itself an international history, and international history always has comparative dimensions” . Furthermore, in the forum Bloxham states that the aim of the book was to bring the holocaust into a wider history of genocide and bridge together the holocaust and genocide studies. This analysis will look at each review in order of appearance in the forum, and the comments Bloxham reports back in reaction. However in light of this analysis, not all points that were raised will be able to be commented on, instead this analysis will focus on the key point’s aspect of each review.

  • The Horrors of Genocide: Night, by Elie Wiesel

    1706 Words  | 4 Pages

    Steven Pinker implied that, “As long as your ideology identifies the main source of the world's ills as a definable group, it opens the world up to the mass murder of people” (1). Steven Pinker revealed an interesting side to the controversial topic of mass murders and the causes of them. He revealed that as long as people in this world believe that they are better than other due to their race, religion, and everything else that defines a group of people as different from another group of people. People are and have been wrongfully treated differently due to the incompetence of some to realize that everyone is equal. They often believe that they were superior to others because of their physical attributes and beliefs that they had. The Holocaust is a major example of the ignorance of some in history. This ignorance often resulted in the murders and mistreatment of many. Elie Wiesel was one of the six million plus people who were wrongfully mistreated during the Holocaust. Many believe that this sort of event could not occur in the current time period because people have become more civilized and tolerable to the differences of others, but sadly the world is not ready to contain a social utopia. The mass murder, and violence that is occurring in Darfur is one of the many things that shows that the world is far from achieving this social utopia. Throughout history, many occurrences of genocide have occurred due to the diversity of people and even though society has evolved greatly, there are still people and places today that are suffering.
