Similarly, Orwell’s 1984 forewarns the consequences of a communist government through the Party’s physical and psychological indoctrination to achieve unperturbed supremacy.

The contrast between Winston’s “rotting…and sordid” flat and the towering “vast and white” Ministry pyramids reveals the subjugation of the lower class under the Party’s…
It’s true that one person’s utopia is another’s dystopia. For example, if someone were to place me in a “perfect” world that centered on bodybuilding and running, I would be in a personal hell! However, others may excel in that type of environment. There is no way to create a world that everyone will be perfectly happy with. At least, it has not happened yet and I do not think a solution will ever be presented in the future. Literary works allow one to explore possibilities of our world without…

I believe that Horace Mann was trying to educate for the betterment of society, not trying to indoctrinate young citizens. Some believe that his avoidance of controversy in the classroom, demand that the common schools be a place to avoid religious sections, and belief that common values be taught, proves Katz’s theory of schooling as a way to indoctrinate the population. I believe that these could be used to argue the opposite. His goal was to provide young citizens with the skills in which…
