Oceania is a perfect example of a totalitarian regime, in which the Party controls every action of every citizen, from what they wear, to where they work, to limiting their love. If somebody falls out of line, or seems like they are not loyal, they will be killed, and every record of them will be destroyed. The Party also holds the right to change history if what they predicted in the past isn’t true anymore. We have real life examples as to how much this type of society can damage our world,…

For my concert report I attended the Mile High Jazz Festival presented by Flesher Hinton Co. on February 16, 2017. The event took place in Macky Auditorium at the University of Colorado Boulder at 7:30 pm. The concert consisted of a student ensemble and then after a short intermission a faculty ensemble. I decided for this report to select the most impactful song from each ensemble and write about their musical components. The student ensemble consisted of: a piano, a bass, drums, a guitar, 4…
the clocks go past 12. It seems like futuristic dystopian time period. Winston Smith’s name is ironic because he is not from a friendly country and is also the one who can be viewed as uncommon because he was one of the only people to rebel against Big Brother. Winston Smith is 39 years old. He works for the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth. He and Winston Churchill are both very intelligent brave and persistent. The Party’s mottos are unusual because they contradict themselves.…
One concept that has interested is dark matter and dark energy. Dark matter is the thing that makes it possible for galaxies to exist. When astrophysicists and cosmologist calculated why the universe is structure the way it is, it became clear that there’s just not enough normal matter. The gravity of the visible matter is not strong enough to from galaxies and complex structures. The starts would more likely be scattered all over the place and not form galaxies. Therefore, cosmologist concluded…

Technology is something we as a race and especially as Americans pride ourselves on. Technology has been something that always has a frontier, like that of space, which will always be sought after at any cost. The government is always striving to have the most up-to-date technology in order to better society as a whole, but what they don’t realize is that they will choose technology over the people that they serve. Their thirst for technological advances outweighs the importance of the people…
Huffington Post’s article authoritatively described the definition of a trophic cascade as an ecological phenomenon triggered by the addition, or removal of top predators and involving reciprocal changes in the relative populations of predator and prey through a food chain, which often results in dramatic changes in ecosystem structure and nutrient cycling (huffingtonpost.com).” For that reason, in today’s society we have witnessed numerous trophic cascades that occur all over the world,…
While characters such as Winston, Julia, and Syme are too smart for their own good making them vulnerable, while the proles are not. The proletariats, or proles, are the majority of the population of Oceania. They are separate from the inner or outer party and usually are hard working blue collared people who are heavily under educated compared to those who work in the government. They are just cogs in the inner party’s machine. An exemplary prole would be the women singing that Winston brings…
