Douglass once said- “Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave.” In Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 knowledge is taken away from society through censorship. Throughout the book the main character is Montag, who collects books and knowledge soon he is forced to leave and he meets a group of intellectuals whose leader is Granger who was forced to leave for having books. We are still trying to prove the propriety of Grangers actions. Although Granger was risking his life he saw fit to help Montag, who is…

In Europe the way of passing down knowledge was through apprenticeship. From the middle-ages where they passed down blacksmith and butchery. To now where they do culinary apprenticeships. Jacques Pepin was one of the best to have emerge from this styles of learning. From starting right front the age of 13 with just learning how to work a wood stove to coming to America by himself and changing the entire cooking game. However in the other side only 30 some years later in America was a young boy…

“Animal Farm” is a “razor-edged fairy tale” (from the blurb) written by George Orwell. This book has a lot more themes than you probably think. It is about a farm taken over by unfairly treated animals and also informs you about the Russian Revolution by replacing the people involved with the animals on the farm. The author does a great job of hiding the real message from the story. I believe what Orwell wanted us to never forget is that history repeats itself explained by the four concepts of…

“The patriarchal world view sees man as the measure of all value, with no space for diversity, only for hierarchy. Woman, being different, is treated as unequal and inferior.” (Shiva 164) Random and reckless industrialization and commercialization in recent years have resulted in thoughtless exploitation of nature and its precious resources. In the great name of development and progression, nature with all its benevolent resources has been subjected to merciless plundering with the consequence…

Karl Marx and Max Weber were sociologists born in Germany during the 19th century. Both sociologists contributed various different outlooks on different social situations; with several of Weber’s outlooks adding on to those of Marx’s. The focus of this assignment is the comparison and contrast of Marx’s and Weber’s theoretical analysis of social class. These aspects will then be further analysed and illustrated using examples in modern society and more specifically in South Africa. Karl Marx…

In her book, Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand uses a fictional story to critique the end result of several commonplace ideologies. The book most closely deals with the ultimate result that stems from a Marxist slogan, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” The world that Rand creates has few differences from reality at its start, but as the story progresses, real world ideologies are taken to the extreme, and societal collapse appears to be imminent. Much of this is…

In Animal Farm, one of George Orwell’s main goals was to portray the Russian Revolution of 1917 in his writing through character’s, events, and concepts. His goal was clearly shown in his text because many important people of the Russian Revolution were seen through animals, events that took place in the Russian Revolution were reflected in his writing, and many concepts of the time were shown in a different form. He accomplished his goal by using simpler characters and an easier concept to…

George Orwell’s compelling novel Animal Farm takes place in a “utopian” society where animals have taken control over their own lives. The novel represents the rhetoric of the Russian Revolution and an indirect criticism towards communist governments. Mr. Jones is an abusive human who the animals despise and incites them to have rebellious ideas. Napoleon, a peculiar pig who is immediately prominent from the rest, takes the power. His goal is to make an equalitarian community where all the…
