...1984, A Dystopian Novel The novel “1984” by George Orwell, is a quintessential dystopian novel. A dystopia is a vision of society in which life is typically characterized by human misery, poverty and violence. A dystopian society have an oppressive societal control and the illusions of a perfect society are maintained through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or totalitarian control. The novel 1984 takes place in a totalitarian state of Oceania that would make even dictators like Hitler and Kim Jong Un grin with envy. In a dystopian society, citizens are perceived to be under constant surveillance. A great example of this, in 1984, would be the telescreen. The telescreen is a “futuristic device” used to survey the citizens of Oceania at all times for crimes such as “thoughtcrime, facecrime sexcrime etc. Throughout London, Winston sees posters with a man gazing down over the words “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU” everywhere he goes. “Big Brother” is the face of the party and a leader behind the great power. Any One who goes against Big Brother will be vaporized. The poster of the Big Brother seems to control people of Oceania by reminding that they are being watched at all times. Furthermore, the party also uses propaganda as a powerful weapon to control the citizens of Oceania. One of the main propaganda used by the government is the “Two minutes”. The two minutes hate is used to brainwash the citizens into identifying who the true enemy is. Even though the...

...I dunno random powerpoint I'll upload something real later One show that was a big hit for most of the decade was Monk. The show was about an obsessive-compulsive detective whose wife was murdered, which resulted in his dismissal from the police force. He now works as a homicide consultant for the San Francisco Police Department. This show is one of my personal favorites. The top 5 most banned books of the decade were as follows: 1.

...Social Stratification Classes and Castes. Class is the primary way in which people approach social stratification. The upper class (the landed gentry, the titled nobility, and members of the royal family) has roughly the same social position it has had since the nineteenth century, when the middle classes began to compete successfully with the landed interests for influence. However, the upper class lost official political influence (and credibility) in the twentieth century. The major change in England's social identity structure has been the shrinking number of workers in manufacturing and the increasing number of people who work in service industries. White-collar and other service workers have replaced blue-collar workers as England's economic backbone. Consequently, the middle class has increased in size and wealth, and home ownership has increased, while union membership has declined dramatically, along with the size of the traditional industrial working class. Most workers expect unemployment at some point in their careers, especially the unskilled and uneducated. In 1983, only 5 percent of non-manual workers were unemployed. In contrast, skilled manual workers experienced 12 percent and semi-skilled and unskilled manual workers 23 percent unemployment, and manual workers combined accounted for 84 percent of the unemployed. England is becoming a society of the included and the excluded. There has been a sharp rise in long-term unemployment. The nature of work in a fluid...
