Labor spies

Most humans do not possess the strength to separate fears from logic and compassion. Fear, in itself, is something that can take over the human mind in ways that other emotions cannot. If we look back anytime during history, we can see populations committing atrocities that violate the very core values of humanity which makes us wonder “How can someone ever think or do something like this?” What many men and women fail to realize is they too may also do the same exact action if put into the…

The novels, 1984 by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, depict how tight control over a people skews and diminishes their ideas of independence and free thought. To begin, the societies of the two novels are extensively controlled by their governments to the point where the people are forced into orthodoxy or are incapable of being anything but orthodox. In Orwell's 1984, citizens are expected to blindly follow Big Brother and the Party, who are considered the only reliable…

Hate often stems from a fear of the “other.” It is easier to disdain for something or someone when it is different from you. In Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein (1818) and Ridley Scott’s science-fiction hit Blade Runner (1982), the “other” is the creature and the replicants. Their non-sexual reproductive origins have made them be branded as “unnatural.” This has forced them onto the fringes of society, to be harshly judged. As a 21st century reader, it calls into question who we push to the…

America, the land where dreams become reality and freedom is infinite. This concept has been alive ever since the Pilgrims came over on the Mayflower. Immigrants from all over the world have been pouring in with dreams larger than life, attempting to get away from racial and religious discrimination. Immigrants, those who wish for a better life trying to escape poverty, come to a land that once was thought to treat all ethnicities equally. America is built on these principles of dreamland and…

‘brute’, which operates without personal desire or the goal of self protection, but instead operates to serve the “tamer”, or in this case, Mr. Covey. Douglass implies that a brute lacks true self consciousness, and becomes a field animal, used for labor. When Douglass says ‘the dark night of slavery closed upon [him]’, can be interpreted as the corruption (true subjugation by his master) he was once able to avoid now has him in a cornered, trapped in the world as a helpless slave who was unable…

The western world seems to have this stereotype of Asians with Asian women in particular. One of the cultural differences between the western and eastern females appears to be the inability "to say no" which are often misconstrued by westerners as agreeableness, or even ,is interpreted by western men as a sign of romantic interest. In the play Madame Butterfly Pinkerton scorns his Japanese lover just as the West scorns the East, insisting the Eastern nations submit to Western powers. Ironically…

The operation was called Kindertransport — Children's Transport — and it was a passage from hell to freedom. Kristallnacht had just rocked Nazi Germany. The pogroms killed dozens of Jews, burned hundreds of synagogues and imprisoned tens of thousands in concentration camps. Many historians see them as the start of Hitler's Final Solution. Amid the horror, Britain agreed to take in children threatened by the Nazi murder machine. Seventy-five years ago this week, the first group of kids arrived…

I must confess, if the importance of this document did not extend further than a personal confession to the worst of my sins, I would not be wasting my time. However, I have come to realize, that without a written record of my actions, there will be no safeguard against these disgusting acts in the future. I do not write in this document for my own therapeutic benefit: I realize that the acts I have orchestrated can never be forgiven. I suppose my true transformation began thirty years ago; at…
