and boots that came up to their knees. Their hair was also protected under a thick plastic covering and their eyes were covered by large goggles like a deep sea diver. One officer sitting next to the general gave an instruction to the men in the lit room through a microphone. Then one of the man walked up to the video camera and started filming/shooting/recording, while another man held up a white board to the spectators. On the board, it said “Test subject 32. Third final experiment. Phase 1.” At that moment the door on the opposite side of the door that the men entered through flung open and four more men dressed in the same fashion walked in, carrying an unidentified object on a gurney. They moved the object from the gurney to the steel table at the center of the room and the others brought in another mysterious object on the gurney. When the two objects were placed on the table, the four men vanished through the door they came in, leaving the first five men in the room. …show more content…
I hope that you can deliver on your promise of satisfactory results,” said the white blonde man. “There is no need for worry. We are very close to successfully completing the experiment with your generous assistance, which we owe you our gratitude. The finest scientific minds of both countries were allowed to devote themselves to this project for years thanks to der führer and your unequivocal support and finally the time has come to reap the fruits of our labor,” the general replied. “The data you’ve sent us is encouraging but it is the wish of der führer for me to confirm with my own eyes. Both our countries have invested astronomical resources and manpower to this project and it would be most unfortunate if our efforts are proven to be futile.” “You’ll soon see the results. I gave you my word in the name of the emperor of the Empire of Japan and I always keep my word,” the general let out a hearty laughter as reassured the white

    In the novel Fahrenheit 451, people are encouraged to be “whistleblowers” and to tattle on those who do not conform to society and ideals. I believe that this is an accurate description of the society in which we live today and whole-heartedly agree with Bradbury’s views of what society will become if we continue on this path. I think that Bradbury included the aspect of society in which people are encouraged to be mindlessly happy because that is the direction in which he saw society turning, and he wished to express his opinions on what our society would become if we continued on this path to what we thought would be a perfect utopia, but in all reality it is simply a well-disguised form of dystopia and misery, in which no one could ever…

    Part One: The Hearth and the Salamander B) Critical Analysis: 1) Montag is proud of himself and his job. He grins when he is burning houses and books.

    Although they fully had the ability to stop inflicting harm on the learner despite the requests of the experimenter, many of the participants, across the various experiments with differing circumstances, demonstrated a willingness to go to the full 450 volts regardless of the protests of the learner. In the 1963 Milgram experiment, over two-thirds of the participants reached the full 450 volts, with all of the participants reaching 300 volts. Therefore, the experiment concluded with the fact that ordinary people are fully capable of going against their morals and inflicting fatal harm on someone else just from obedience to an authority. The Milgram experiment was able to reach its objectives of determining the effect obedience to authority had on the level of cruelty that the German soldiers demonstrated by collecting data on how far on the voltage scale ordinary people were willing to go. The more professional the experimenter looked, their presence nearby the learner, and the prestige of the experiment location all impacted how willing the participants were to inflict harm.…

    Reader Response Journal #2 Rules/ Order The book, Fahrenheit 451, the author, Ray Bradbury, was trying to convey that certain rules and orders can keep a person ignorant towards the world. Upon reading Fahrenheit 451, it’s noticed that Montag is very unaware of the things happening around him until he has conversations with Clarisse M. This is because the government wants to keep the population only believing in what they deem fit. In the first half of the book the audience will notice how many things Montag didn’t know about the world before his conversations with Clarisse M. Simple things like dew on the grass, billboards being extended because of the speed of drivers, and even the man on the moon.…

I think quietly to myself this is where I will die but I am not scared of death and begin to embrace the thought. Life wasn't always hard and empty, I had my friends and my wife and our families. I feel optimistic, a spark of hope that in the afterlife I will see them again.…

    Many people have the idea that during WW1 Nazis killed and tortured many Jews freely and even willingly. What Milgram is doing in his experiment is trying to figure out how easily people follow orders, orders that could harm and potentially kill someone. Milgram got participants through a newspaper article, and paying them $450 to complete the experiment (random sampling). The experiment was carried out in a lab at Yale, causing ecological validity to be good, as it 's a very trustworthy institution and subjects are more likely to abide when in a laboratory compared to a real world setting. He was using a deceiving method by tricking the “teacher” to believe that every time he flipped a set of 30 switches, which were ranged from Slight Shock…

    Fahrenheit 451 Research Paper Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 materializes a world where censorship is so strong, it influenced the near- disintegration of domesticity, the banning of books and other pieces of literature, and the absence of memory of a time where books and historically accurate facts were not so “covered up.” Domesticity went into a strong decline after literature was illegalized. People began to lose their moral values. They took up violent forms of entertainment, such as running over animals and even fellow humans, indiscriminately, with their jet cars. Mildred and her friends watched bloody cartoons of white clowns killing one another.…
