Dystopian stories have a way of taking the present and predicting the future. Whether it be cases of censorship such as Fahrenheit 451, issues with government secrecy in The City of Ember, or mass surveillance and government control as seen in 1984, I believe all these issues are still present today. To say 1984 is no longer relevant is to completely disregard the truth as it is clear that at home and abroad the world is struggling to find the perfect balance of what a government should be and…

The Snowden affair proves relevant to ethics because it drew discussion regarding the price they are willing to pay in terms of their privacy and liberty for the sake of security and national self-defense against aggression. Edward Snowden is a…

In regards to 1984… wait this book is The Handmaid’s Tale, same difference. The similarities between 1984, a dystopian novel written in 1944, and The Handmaid’s Tale, a alternative dystopian novel written in 1985, are clear cut. It seems that even the fact that The Handmaid’s Tale was written one year after George Orwell’s 1984 is a snarky remark to the bleak future George Orwell painted in his masterpiece. The similarities can only be described as if Margaret Atwood was referencing 1984 with…

Clouds of something that appeared to be smoke reached the line of soldiers waiting to fight. Immediately, the soldiers began to cough, gag and choke. Their eyes started stinging and watering, and they fell backwards into the trenches. The soldiers tried to duck and avoid the smoke in their dugouts, but it soon followed. Those who did not fall ran trying to abandon the clouds of smoke, but this was no regular smoke (Kennedy 53). It was chlorine gas that German forces used to initiate large-scale…
