1984 is about a parallel world 35 years into the future, in which all nations have been combined into three major countries: Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia. London still exists, but it is now a part of Oceania, governed by an entity called the Party, headed by a dominant figure called “Big Brother”. The Party's one goal is power; power over everybody and everything in Oceania. There is constant surveillance; devices called telescreens are put in people's homes to monitor thoughts, actions and broadcast Party propaganda continuously, with no way for the person to turn it off or change the channel. Free thinkers are not tolerated, and the "Thought Police" are sent to capture the culprits. The Party is developing an official language called “Newspeak,” whose goal is to simplify language by eliminating as many "extra" words as possible and reducing vocabulary to a small number of basic words, thus narrowing the range of thought. The protagonist of this story is Winston Smith, who works at the Ministry of Truth as a sort of professional history revisionist. His job is to rectify newspaper articles and documents in which Big Brother made predictions or statements that did not agree with the actual outcome of events; in other words, to maintain the public illusion that the Party is perfect. Unhappy with his state of being, Winston would like to overthrow the Party but is powerless to do so. So he teams up with his love interest Julia who is another Party worker. He also collaborates with a high-ranking Party official named O'Brien, who reveals himself as a secret member of a society called The Brotherhood who are planning to destroy the Party. O'Brien gives Winston a book explaining the ideals and motivations of the Party: The upper classes (the highest Party members) need to retain their economic status. Therefore, it is important to control the minds and bodies of the lower classes, and wars are waged constantly only so that money will be spent on the production of war machinery instead of being converted into wealth which could be given to the lower classes.
Winston Smith - The protagonist of the story. Winston Smith works as a clerk in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth, where his job is to rewrite historical documents. This involves revising newspaper articles and doctoring photographs, mostly to remove "unpersons," people who have fallen foul of the party. Because of his proximity to the mechanics of rewriting history, Winston Smith nurses doubts about the Party and its monopoly on truth.
Imagine you are a thirteen year old growing up in Germany, 1938. Some of the kids at school are talking about a new program called the Hitlerjugend (or Hitler Youth). It sounds fun and exciting with its camping trips and home meetings so you decide to join. The Hitlerjugend is just as fun and exciting as it sounded and as the years pass you gain new skills; loyalty to Hitler and German; and growing hatred for Jews, Blacks, the handicapped, and other “burdens of the state”. To you this is simply a thought but to many children in the 1930’s this was a reality. The Hitler Youth was a genius yet terrible organization.
...ctive, fat, brunette, big-nosed people while Germans were seen as proud, hard-working, tall, fair, blonde-haired, blue-eyed mensch. As these inferiority and superiority complexes were constantly drilled into the minds of children and teenagers, the youth started to realize that it was in their best interest to act on these beliefs. They were better and their race needed to be preserved.
1984 is a powerful work of George Orwell, but one of the key components to the book is the dream of Winston and how that dream relates to the book overall. Winston dreams of the deaths of his mother and sister. They were sinking in water, sacrificing their lives in some tragic, loving way to keep Winston alive. The dream then changes to the "Golden Country," an idyllic setting. A girl runs towards him, carelessly tearing off her clothes in defiance of the Party. Winston wakens with "Shakespeare" upon his lips.
The longing for freedom, through different techniques from Big Brother, has been subsided in Winston. One big slogan of the Party is “FREEDOM IS SLAVERY” (pg. 4). This is one of the official slogans of the Party; this alone shows the dystopia of the Party. Winston tells us, “Nobody heard what Big Brother was saying. It was merely a few words of encouragement, the sort of words that are uttered in the din of battle, not distinguishable individually but restoring confidence by the fact of being spoken” (pg. 16). Winston and the citizens don’t even realize that all aspect of life they are getting brainwashed, their very human essence and natural right of freedom is being snatched away from them. According to the party, the man with freedom is doomed. They are comforting their people by saying there is no freedom by brainwashing them to think freedom is a bad thing, and that they will not be able to survive without Big Brother ...
A jealous Oberon and mischievous Puck are two “waggish boys” in their own right. Puck boasts the triumphs of his pranks and trickery for the sake of his amusement, having frightened the maidens of the village, frustrated housewives, beguiled a horse by “neighing in the likeness of a filly foal” (2.1.32), and befuddled an old woman by transforming himself into the likeness of a crab and three-legged stool. Shakespeare utilizes the inadvertent mistakes and waggish nature of Puck, “the shrewd and knavish sprite” (2.1.19), to exemplify the chaotic and complicated entanglements of love. Together with Fairy King Oberon, they turn the “little western flower” struck by Cupid’s arrow into the magic potion known as “love-in-idleness”, reinforcing the idea that love cannot be reasoned. Shakespeare uses the magic potion as a device to express love’s fickleness with the repeated allusion to the unpredictable influence of Cupid’s arrows. Moreover, it is Fairy King’s anger, jealousy and resentment over Titania’s tenderness towards the Indian boy, in conjunction with her refusal to give turn him over to Oberon, which is the seed for the cunning and illusory love-in-idleness potion. Oberon, like an impudent child, deprived of what he desires, acts with guile and duplicity affecting not only
“The only genuine dangers are the splitting-off of a new group of able, underemployed, power-hungry people, and the growth of liberalism and skepticism in their own ranks” (Orwell, 171). Liberalism is founded upon equality. Whereas the society they live in is ruled by a dictator. The party can’t have their members begin to question the system and start their own groups. That would put the idea in other’s minds and give them the option to follow; individual thinking is not allowed. If a new group were to start up they could steal the power from Big Brother and turn the people against them, causing the society they currently live in to crumble. To insure that this does not happen, education is key. The less people are taught, the less likely they are to become conscious and revolt.
The name later changed to The Hitler Youth in 1929, with over 108,000 members by 1932. At this point the program was for boys, girls, and young women. The main goal of Hitler Youth was to politically indoctrinate and physically harden the youth of Germany. The tasks at the camp were military based, with activities like hard physical training, camping trips, terrain sports, shooting practice, rowing, and glider flying. These activities hardened the children of Germany to be the little soldiers that Hitler wanted. Preparing them the battle that would exterminate the unwanted people of
Macaques showed sudden onset of illness with signs of anorexia, cough, nasal exudates, swollen eyelids, and enlarged spleens and kidneys (3). Macaques were determined to be co-infected with REBOV and simian hemorrhagic fever virus (SHFV). Through testing REBOV was demonstrated to be less pathogenic than ZEBOV and SEBOV, with only 7 of 7 African green monkeys and 4 of 8 cynomolgus macaques surviving challenge (3). REBOV could not be recovered from survivors 20–600 days after challenge. Following this initial outbreak in Reston, several other cases of REBOV have occurred in both the United States and Italy, all attributed to animals imported from the Philippines and all from the same monkey breeding facility
The boys and young men described identified themselves as Hitler Youth. At the young age of ten, boys swore into the Jungvolk, a division of the Hitler Youth for males as old as fourteen (Bartoletti 23). Before joining, young men underwent various tests from verifying their race to completing a three day cross-country hike and often plunging two stories to prove their grit (Bartoletti 25-26). The design of the HItler Youth directly mirrored that of the S.A., Hitler’s personal army, where boys essentially trained for war (Roberts 104; Bartoletti 28). Boys took charge of other boys not much younger than themselves. Along with Nazi ideals, leaders taught their regiments obedience and forced them to think and act as one (Bartoletti 27). In an effort to enact Hitler’s idea of an ideal youth, “A violently active, dominating, intrepid brutal youth… indifferent to pain. There must be no weakness and tenderness in it,” (Bartoletti 43), boys underwent many militarizing activities, including drills with camping and hiking, contests which resembled warfare, and rifle training (Kater 29). Those aged fourteen to eighteen belonging to the Hitler Jugend also trained in formations, moving stealthily, and lobbing grenades (Bartoletti 29). Former Hitler Youth Frederic C. Tubach recounts a game known as Geländespiele, “the aim was to conquer a particular point in the landscape- a tower, village main square, bridge, or similar object. each participant had a band tied around his arm, either red or blue. Once an opponent had caught you and torn off your band, you were ‘dead’,” showing that even fun revolved around preparation for combat (50). Unsurprisingly, many Hitler Youth continued on to serve under the Nazi cause in World War II, often mercilessly representing their
To begin with, education today, learning about history and math it was quite different for these kids. School was a very easy way to tell the children information, one of the things they would tell the children is to always follow Hitler's way of thinking (“Indoctrinating Youth”, 2016). The kids learned things that revolved around race, behavior, and giving up their lives to prove themselves to their leaders (smikin, 1997). They wanted so badly to pass around the words of Hitler the kids would be bribed to go home and tell as many adults, they could about what they learned that day (smikin,1997). Hitler valued himself so much that he decided that there must be a picture of him in every class book, and words about him in their textbooks(“Indoctrinating
Two of the biggest ways he did this was the Hitler Youth and the school systems. “In such groups, said Hitler, ‘These young people will learn nothing else but how to think German and act German... And they will never be free again, not in their whole lives.’” Since Hitler was able to brainwash the children from the beginning he was able to use them to promote his ideals. “The Nazi schools are no place for weaklings. All children must, of course, finish the primary school before they are ten; but after that schools are proving-grounds for the Party. Those who betray any weakness of body or have not the capacities for absolute obedience and submission must be expelled.” Hitler needed to fully submerge the children in Nazi culture. The Nazis need them to be perfect little soldiers and they would accept nothing less, because of this they had the support of the youngest generation who is growing up as Nazi soldiers and supporters and that is a big reason for how Hitler became the dictator of
When the Hitler Youth signups were posted children over the age of 10 signed up quickly. The youth of Hitler loved moving up the ranks and especially wearing the uniforms. The Hitler Youth was not only a cool club, but they were being trained to fight in the war. The Hitler
Czech Republic’s government has also had discrimination accounted for, they introduced in anti-discrimination law that protects everyone against direct or indirect discrimination that complies with the EU guidelines into the Czech national legislation. This implies that investors that are investing in Czech Republic would not have to worry that they would be excluded in the nation and are well-taken care of. Through this, the economy is open to foreign investments and investors would have more confidence in Czech Republic as they have successfully made good efforts that has successfully made Czech Republic a better place to invest in.
The genome of Monkeypox virus is double-stranded DNA and consists of about 196,858 base pairs. With these base pairs, there are about 190 open reading frames. Most of the genes encoded allow Monkeypox virus to down-regulate the cellular immune responses. This generally occurs for cellular process such as ion channels that allow the cells of multicellular organi...
