Brainwashed

circumstances. The children are given drugs and sent into battles. Their commanders tell them to go into to battle and kill everyone ( O’Neill 1). In some cases children are kidnapped out of their beds and they are taken from schools. Then they are brainwashed ( O’Neill 1). Another example is a 12 year old girl, Awil, has an fully automatic loaded rifle (Gettleman 1). Did you know that the guns could be bigger than the children ( O’Neill 1). The commanders say the children are “easy to deceive”…

3. In my understanding, the stories of Ward presented racism, black cultures, community as a whole. On page 248 she said: “You are nothing. We tried to ignore it, but sometime we caught ourselves repeating what history said, mumbling along, brainwashed: I am nothing. We drank too much, we smoke too…

and money. 2. The Nazis singled out LGBTQ people, disabled people, Gypsies, Poles, Slavs, and Jehovah's Witnesses. They were singled out because Hitler wanted a perfect race. 3. The civilization people reacted to the Nazi program by being brainwashed by the people who ran the Nazi program. The use of propaganda on Germany and other countries caused many to start to support Adolf Hitler. They were deceived by the propagandists who deemed the Nazi program necessary and…

The word “dystopian society,” seems to possibly be an over-dramatized idea that can only seem to exist in fictional settings. In Harrison Burgeron by Kurt Vonnegut, a particular dystopian society, controlling and confining in its own way, is portrayed concerning possible political ties and extreme lack of individuality, or more like the force to impose lack of individuality. The abuse of governmental power shown throughout Harrison Burgeron and it’s control over what individuals wear, think,…

Aliens… U.F.O’s….. Area 51 is located in the Nevada desert and is owned by the U.S Air Force and Government, it was used in the Cold War, WWII and even in the Vietnam war; around 25 miles long it is the largest Air Force Base in U.S History and the most secure!

The Burning of Humanity “ We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness” (Albert Schweitzer). This quote perfectly explains not only our society, but the Fahrenheit 451 society as well. We may have all of this technology such as smartphones to talk to our friends or family, but it destroys human connection and interaction in the process.

89 years ago, Eric Arthur Blair, better known by his pen name, George Orwell, started his career in the writing of essays and novels. In 1949 he published his first dystopian novel, 1984. This story, like that of Children of Men directed by Cuaron, is set in an isolated London where the government has manipulated its people into submission. Evidently, these societies are not ones to strive towards, but what are these works trying to tell us? In these worlds, where morality is scarce and…

leaves the outside world to guess what they feel the need to hide. It is that the government does not want their see their citizens what life could be without a dictative form of government. This and the idea that the masses in North Korea are brainwashed are the two main theories and the ones with the most credibility. From the information that National Geographic was allowed to gather, reporters determined that the country has highly militarised with great honor for their leader, past leaders…

so judgmental. In order for there to be change, people have to want to change. Most people, at least from my experience, do not like to be considered wrong. I know I don't when it comes to things that I strongly believe in. But when people are brainwashed to believe strongly in something that is harmful to others, there is a problem. Discrimination has been and still is quite a taboo subject to some. That's a big part of what makes it so hard to stop. We have to address these things and can't…
