    “What is not thought by all men can not be true” (Rand, 73). This is one of the most hallowed rules in anthem’s society. Citizens of this society are forced to act and think in the exact same way from birth. Individuality is lost due to lack of original and free thought. People simply existed under the orders of the Council and the thoughts share with their “brothers”. For this reason, society is extremely technologically primitive. Ideas of creative individuals are needed to make technological…

    Earth Oddity In Radiohead’s song “Subterranean Homesick Alien”, Thom Yorke expresses his feelings of isolation from a uniform human society. This song chronicles a man’s plea to be taken from his rigid community to a more accepting one. Through tone and imagery, his dissatisfaction with the unaccepting monotony of his community becomes apparent. Yorke’s diction contributes to the wistful and melancholy tone of the song. Phrases such as “I keep forgetting”, “Never believe me”, and “shut me…

    A plethorabig percentage of people in the world follow the road most traveled and do not deviate from that path. They try so hard to “fit in,” and be like everybody else. For example, when a brand of shoe is trending, like Nike, everyone buys Nike shoes so they are “accepted” in the public eye. Another example is when people take pictures of their food and post it on social media for “likes.” These examples of uniformity happen everyday in our society, and eventually people start to look,…

    “We have begun to live in a reality where comparison and competition won't make us succeed”- anonymous. Society has two ways the “right” way, which is fitting in and by fitting in it means being like everyone else or the “wrong” way being an individual but being looked at different. Is it a good idea to alter yourself to fit in? No. Changing yourself is leaving your principles just to fit into a group of people that you will probably not see in the next five years. I disagree with changing…

    LQ.+The subjective nature of representation offers the composer an opportunity to manipulate a responder into political reflection. Huxley deliberately uses the science fiction medium for Brave New World, a novel reflective of the technological innovations of the 1930’s, to represent the morally displaced actions in the World State. He satirically exemplifies how the government creates a false sense of security and stability through the parody of the French Revolution Tripartite mantra of…

    World, the meticulous labeling of every man, woman, and child gets attributed as “one of the major instruments for social stability” (Huxley 2006: 7). The society not only benefits, but relies on the groups constructed through Bokanovsky’s Process. The entire world’s production is only possible through “standard Gammas, unvarying Deltas, [and] uniform Epsilons” (Huxley 2006: 7). Their labels force them to conform to the roles they have been given. In a totalitarian society, this is an ingenious…

I became free again, Free from your sick game of hell.…

    Brass Myth

    • 1175 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Brass gears were heavily used for the industrial revolution to make items work in the nineteenth century. Contrary to popular belief, gears are not only utilized as mechanisms to construct objects that tick. Within the 21st century, they have become involved in the pendant jewelry culture, as well. The object that I will be analyzing is a brass gear pendant that is made to be worn around the neck. The pendant doubles as a pocket watch with a cover on the outside. On the outside cover, there are…
