...Animal Farm Questions Chapter 5 18. Make a list of 6 things Napoleon does in this chapter to secure his position as leader of the Farm. Which do you think was the most effective? Napoleon tries to solidify his leadership much like his Russian Revolution counterpart Joseph Stalin does in multiple ways. 1. Napoleon manipulates the animals by talking to them one at a time. He does this early in the book when Snowball is trying to persuade animals to join him on his ideas. Napoleon is a dissenter in the midst who talks individually to get them to see things his way, for example in the case of the windmill. 2. Napoleon also enlists the help of a gifted and crafty speaker on his behalf. This is Squealer. Stalin had Pravda as his mouthpiece in Russia. Napoleon uses Squealer to make great speeches that demonstrate production is better than it was in Jones time by shouting out tons of numbers. 3. Napoleon has Squealer use propaganda. Fear is an emotional appeal used to get the animals to remain faithful to the cause of animalism. The slogan "Four legs good, Two legs bad" unifies the animals against a different enemy. Napoleon uses Snowball almost a scapegoat and they blame everything they do not want to take credit for on him. So if they are stuck in a bad circumstance, Snowball gets the blame. 4.His use of force to maintain order. He used his fierce dogs to scare the animals into submission (compared to Stalin's secret police), and also to protect himself from harm. These dogs...

...How do the Various Animals in Animal Farm Mimic Social Classes or Types Found in Human Society? After reading “Animal Farm” written by George Orwell, I have come to a realisation that it resembles much of the human society. Events from the book resemble greatly what happened during a historical period such as during the Soviet Union. In order to describe the pigs’ dictatorship and the role of the different animals, I will use the example of Stalin’s reign in Russia. Also, I will be describing the roles of the people under Stalin’s dictatorship in comparison to the animals. Starting with the role of old major, followed by the pigs, then the horses, the dogs, Mollie the sheep and Moses the raven. The roles of each animal will be described and then analysed by comparison to the social classes in a dictatorship society. In the beginning of the story of “Animal Farm”, Old Major preached about a dream he had the previous night. It was about a world in which animals lived without tyranny of men, where all animals roamed free as they wished. He described a world which is out of reach for the animals in their current situation. He preached an idealism called Animalism where animals do the work but humans keep the profit made. In animalism, there are no owners, no rich and no poor. Animals get a better life, because without owners, all animals are equal. In addition, every animal owns the farm. They work for themselves in order to get work done within the farm. With a poor leader...

...Animal Farm Chapter 1 After Mr. Jones went to bed, the Major arranged a meeting in the barn. At the meeting every animal on the farm showed up, to hear what the Major had to say. In the Major’s speak, he will tell about a strange dream that he had last night, but first he tells that he not has many months left before he dies, so he will tell about those things that he has acquired in his life. He speaks about that miserable life they live, where they only are given such much food as will keep the breath in their bodies, and they have to work to the last power is out of them. No animal in England is free, no animal knows the meaning of happiness and leisure. The humans are the answer of all their problems. All men are enemies, all animals are comrades. The Major’s dream is about how the earth will be, when there no man is. He sings a song that came back from his childhood in the dream, It’s called ‘’Beasts of England’’. All the animals sing the song. The meeting stops that Mr. Jones shoots after the barn, because he thought there was a fox, and that was the reason of the noise from all the animals. Characters: Mr. Jones Drunk Mrs. Jones The old Major (Boar) The three dogs – Bluebell, Jessie and Pincher. Two Cart-horses – Boxer and Clover Clover is a motherly mare, got four foals. Boxer is a big and strong cart horse, but he is not very smart. 18 years old. Caring – gentle giant. The Goat – Muriel The donkey – Benjamin. The oldest animal on the farm. Miserable...

...All Animals Are Equal PETER SINGER In TOM REGAN & PETER SINGER (eds.), Animal Rights and Human Obligations. New Jersey: Prentice-Hall, 1989, pp. 148-162 Available freely online at: http://www.animal-rights-library.com/texts-m/singer02.htm. In recent years a number of oppressed groups have campaigned vigorously for equality. The classic instance is the Black Liberation movement, which demands an end to the prejudice and discrimination that has made blacks second-class citizens. The immediate appeal of the black liberation movement and its initial, if limited, success made it a model for other oppressed groups to follow. We became familiar with liberation movements for Spanish-Americans, gay people, and a variety of other minorities. When a majority group— women—began their campaign, some thought we had come to the end of the road. Discrimination on the basis of sex, it has been said, is the last universally accepted form of discrimination, practiced without secrecy or pretense even in those liberal circles that have long prided themselves on their freedom from prejudice against racial minorities. One should always be wary of talking of "the last remaining form of discrimination." If we have learnt anything from the liberation movements, we should have learnt how difficult it is to be aware of latent prejudice in our attitudes to particular groups until this prejudice is forcefully pointed out. A liberation movement demands an expansion of our moral horizons and...

...Introduction to Philosophy Jeffrey Nall Spring 2016 MWF, 11:30 AM-12:20PM ------------------------------------------------- Masaru Sakata Philosophy Journal philosophy journal Reflection To begin with, upon choosing this class, my expectations was to just get by, finish my last general education requirement class, and possibly learn a thing or two about philosophy. in fact, when i first entered the class, i was already thinking to myself what’s even the point for this class. but, the moment professor nall spoke, i knew i was in for a ride. throughout my time on the course, i did develop new insights about myself. when you describe a journey, you describe obstacles an individual faces in it. in this class, i actually faced several of those. obviously they are not of no means physical, but i questioned a lot of the different things i believe in, including my religion. there was actually a time this semester where i actually questioned if god did exist during the time between the arguments of an existence of a creator to the topic about the different types of evil. furthermore, after different events that have happened outside of class and actually learning about the information in class, i personally believe my thinking developed in a way that makes me critically think about everything i decide to believe in and not just follow it like a robot. To clarify, I am still a roman catholic and i think my faith actually strengthened because of this class. additionally, i...

...Ethical Treatment of Animals Duane Aponte SOC120: Introduction to Ethics & Social Responsibility (GSG1207J) Dr. James Prentice 03/19/12 Throughout my life I have always been an animal lover. My main concerns have questioned the behavior of humans towards animals and why researchers choose to experiment on many different animals. I am extremely disgusted by these experiments and for their explanation as for the purpose of scientific research. I understand the objective and what may be the greater good for such experiments. But I do not understand why so many experiments are needed with very little justifications. In my paper I will discuss why experiments should not be taken lightly and will try to draw a conclusion on how we can as a society limit such cruelty towards animals during these experiments. I will also use different ethical theories to explain my point of view. My theories will include an Ethical Moral approach, Utilitarianism point of view, and Deontology point of views. Introduction The use of animals in research and education has involved ethical concern for many years, most particularly in toxicology and bio-medical studies. More recently, ethical concerns have been raised over less disturbing studies such as animal behavior research (Mench, 2000). My concern is before conducting behavioral research, the researcher should first evaluate whether the purpose of the experiment justifies the use of animals. If the purpose is found to be justified...

...embodiment of the absence of humanity. Furthermore, these films continue to generate more complex and more compelling perceptions of the relationship between humans and technology, which is often made manifest in the mega-corporation. As often as the identity of the “natural” human may be called into question, in nearly all of these films the character the audience perceives to be most human is victorious in the end. Cameron’s Avatar, for instance, sees the protagonist Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) remain on the alien world of Pandora in the body of an alien. Although not innately human in form, it is Jake’s preserved sense of morality and his ability to sympathize with the other characters that give him his sense of humanity. However, in Vincenzo Natali’s Splice (2009), the victory does not lie with the most human characters, but rather with the dehumanizing corporation, which threatens to recreate all of humanity in its likeness. Natali argues that the creation of Dren (Delphine Chanéac) represents the future of humanity in the sense that humans are becoming creatures with equal parts human and technological – a shift that threatens to change society’s perception of what is “human”. Splice is in many ways a modern retelling of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus – a point highlighted by Natali’s choice to name the protagonists Clive and Elsa; a direct homage to the stars of James Whale’s The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Colin Clive and Elsa Lanchester.
