Oceania, also known as the Pacific Islands is home of many native Islanders. Citizens of Oceania have a wide range of indigenous and distinctive cultures. Most of the cultures consist of Folk Culture and Local Culture. Through their unique customs, the Oceania citizens are never victims of assimilation. With only 14 countries, 28 languages and, a population of fewer than 6.5 million people, Oceania is meager in size, but immense as a civilization. There are a number of religions in Oceania such as
The people of Hawaii and other Pacific Island Nation groups have experienced great injustice from their colonial powers and the acts of imperialism. Lands were seized, cultural practices banned, language lost, and people were even forced to move away from their homes for the purpose of bomb testing. The United States and other countries abroad sent out representatives to do their work for them; in return their future actions would be justified in describing the Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders
In this thesis, I will argue that Oceania is a perfect society. Oceania is a perfect society because every single aspect of daily life is controlled by the government. What time people are going to get up in the morning, what time people go to lunch, what is going to be displayed on the telescreen, etc, it is all controlled. The Party checks everything put in the media to keep the public ignorant. They do this by sending the people that work in the Ministry of Truth what to adjust in the media. Everything

For the same reasons that it is widespread and pertinent in its native range, it can be extremely invasive and disruptive in areas that it is introduced to. It is especially invasive in the Oceania region, where its disturbance to the natural ecosystem has earned the red fox to be ranked as the 99th most invasive species in the world (Invasive Species Specialist Group 2010). Background Information Being completely capable of inhabiting almost
The culture and structure of life in the Pacific region, or Oceania, has always been fascinating to me. There are so many things to know and learn about the Pacific Islands and their way of life. In this paper I will look deeper into the culture and describe ways in which this culture has, and continues to, survive. In doing this I will examine this particular cultures society, family structure, life ways, unique and indigenous ways, history, future, and changing factors that effect their way of
Comparing Oceania in 1984 and the USA This paper will discuss the similarities and differences between the Oceanic society of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and the society of the United States. First I will talk about the similarities and then I will finish off with the differences, all of which will be based on factual information that I have gathered both, from the book and the mainstream media. Then I will finish by coming to a conclusion to an opinion I have and whether the government systems
1/16 Oceania and North Korea: Societies Alike In 1984, George Orwell describes a dystopian society where the people are completely controlled and kept in a narrow mindset. When creating this faux society, Orwell most likely did not intend to predict the future. However, Orwell may not have been too far off in describing some societies today, one of which including North Korea. The censorship, propaganda, and secrecy coming from the North Korean government are nearly identical to that of The Party
The Comparison of The Hunger Games’ Panem and 1984’s Oceania Because of the difference in the time periods during which 1984 and The Hunger Games were written, one would not suspect that each novel shares a vast number of commonalities with the other. 1984 focuses on the development of Winston Smith, a Party member who slowly starts to question the actions and rulings of Oceania’s leader, “Big Brother.” Winston eventually wishes to break free of this beyond-controlling government and to join a
happen if the fascism in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia persisted. The dystopian, fascist government that exists in 1984 resembles the governments in the real-life, modern-day countries of Libya, China, and North Korea. The government in Orwell’s Oceania is fascist, causing citizens like Winston and Julia to hate the government. O’Brien explains the future of Oceania’s government to Winston, when he says: “’If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever’” (Orwell

those of the successful governments of Gilead and Oceania, he still had come to his downfall. In Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and George Orwell’s 1984, the administrations utilize strategies such as mind manipulation to establish a successful foundation, whose outcome differs from other communist rulers that have caused their own demise. Holding similar characteristics, the governments of the Soviet Union, Gilead of The Handmaid’s Tale and Oceania of 1984, all help ensure that their rule is enforced
Introduction: Defining ‘reconciliation’ alone can be a cumbersome task. It has been defined as many things such as “a collection of lived practices – a culture, a cultural project, a sea-change in the psyche of a nation and a product of the imagination of the ‘lunar left’ (Rigney & Hemming, 2011).” The main idea one should keep in mind when reading this paper, is the discrepancies between Indigenous and Western worlds and the way in which they conceptualise music. When understanding music as a tool
Summary of Text: ‘The Redfern Address’ is a speech that was given to a crowd made up of mainly indigenous Australians at the official opening of the United Nations International Year of the World’s Indigenous Peoples in Redfern Park, New South Wales. This text deals with many of the challenges that have been faced by Indigenous Australians over time, while prompting the audience to ask themselves, ‘How would I feel?’ Throughout the text, Keating challenges the views of history over time, outlines
Indigenous Australian’s health has been a focal point and topic of interest for many members of the government and policy markers. The reasoning for why this topic has been of popular interest for the government and policy makers is due to the startling and atrocious lack of health that Indigenous Australian’s suffer. Indigenous Australian’s are disadvantaged in the Australian healthcare system and have the poorest health out of all Australians. “Between 2004 and 2008, 66% of Indigenous deaths occurred
CASE STUDY ANALYSIS Introduction: It is amazing to note that humans are a type of species that can smartly organize and form a community. Several of these communities create their cultural norms and beliefs that make their society a place to live. Willis, K. and Elmer, S. (2007, p3), defines society as the identifying pattern of behaviour, meanings and beliefs in order to uncover the links between individual lives and social forces. Accepting this definition as a fact, the analysis of this
To what extent have the views of the Indigenous population impacted on the educational outcomes for Australian aboriginal teenagers. Historical views and expectations of the Indigenous people and access to education The inequality in Australian education can be attributed to a history of low expectations and discrimination placed on Indigenous people by the government and society. Aboriginal children were denied the right to education until the 1970s due to the discrimitory views of the government

Life in Oceania is somewhat confusing and tough to follow. When you first start the book 1984 it’s difficult to understand the lives the people live in Oceania. As you travel through the book though you start to understand the people’s lives and how trapped they are. As you read through the book you also start to understand the three different parties in Oceania and how they work. The Inner Party is the high class party with all the luxuries.

The character development is based off the fact that life in Oceania is supposed to be perfect in the eyes of the Party, but Winston himself disagrees. This disagreement contributes to the dystopian factor used in the novel. In the beginning of the story, Winston depicts the dystopian aspect of Oceania through his disagreements with the Party, “Thus, at one moment Winston’s hatred was not turned against Goldstein at all, but, on

They also continuously alter the past which allows them to control the past, present, and future. This allows the government of Oceania to have complete power and control over the citizens. In 1984, The government controls the citizens of Oceania by the use of telescreens and by revising the past. The protagonist
