This paper sets out to analyze, through André Brink’s The Rights of Desire, white South Africans’ resentment over the new dispensation in South Africa. Even though the race-based ideology of apartheid was devisedand implemented by people of Afrikaner extraction, there were many amongst white South Africans who were relentless in their scathing condemnation of the immorality of institutionalized racism. André Philipus Brink, Nadine Gordimer, J.M.Coetzee and BreytenBreyten Bach, to name but a few,…

In the novella intended for political satire, Animal Farm, the author George Orwell ties together his ideas about manipulation of language and an imbalance of power in a community. He plants the seeds of his ideas in the first chapters of the novella, where a veritable imbalance of power increases the desire for change in the community. In the middle portion of the novella, reform takes place, and manipulation of language is used to sustain such reform. Nearing the end of the novella, Orwell’s…

One of America’s skilled authors, Henry Miller, portrays his understanding of human nature, stating that “Man has demonstrated that he is the master of everything - except his own nature”. He tells us that human nature is impossible to master due to its multiple personalities. We can see this in both literary works and in real life examples. Animal Farm by George Orwell is a story of a group of animals who fight their way through to reach freedom. In those animals we see the diversity of the…

in this respect by historians such as Nicholas4. The significance of phrases such as “To me, England is the country and the country is England . . . the hammer on the anvil in the country smithy, the corncrake on a dewy morning . . . the sight of a plough team coming over the brow of a hill . . . for centuries the one eternal sight of England” lies in an attempt to shift what identifying as a Conservative meant. Turning Conservatism into a form of patriotism made political opponents…

Social media has become increasingly detrimental in how people of our generation make social connections. Our society bases how people perceive other people based on social media profiles. Even without meeting a person face-to-face, social media websites give insight into who a person is and whether or not they will be accepted in society. Social media is a relatively new platform of human interaction, only being in use for the past decade or so, with sites such as Myspace being one of the first…

In this essay, I will consider the topic of vegetarianism from the perspective of environmental concerns that are often associated with the production of meat. In the article, Vegetarianism and Planetary health (2000), Michael Allen Fox states that strict vegetarianism ought to be adopted in order to avoid the eco-destructive nature of the livestock industry. Although there may be some truth to Fox’s initial premise which claims that eating meat is harmful for the environment, I will argue that…

The first half of the last decade of the century proceeded as the previous decade i.e. regular hard farm work, children at school, women providing the warmth of a home. Zachariah was still winning in the fall fair for colts and geldings, shearing rams and of course the best fat sheep. Occasionally, he would get lucky with his Holstein bull, a ram or sow and come in first or second. His potatoes usually ran into competition but he sometimes would still win and lucked out once winning the Hubbard…

Genetically Modified Foods Genetically Modified Foods is what the future of this world will look like. Many people are not well informed about the beneficial facts GMOs can bring to our health, the farming environments, and world hunger. Genetic modification can transform the number of nutrients we put in our body, can cooperate with rapid climate changes, and most importantly, will solve the major conflict of world hunger. What are GMOS? Where did they come from? GMOS represent genetically…

over-spraying of pesticides. As herbicide tolerant plants have resulted in better weed control techniques, the farmers have adopted reduced or no tilling techniques(Brookes et al, 2016). The reduction in tilling has lead to reduced fuel use by tractors and ploughs. The reduction in tilling has also prevented the release of carbon dioxide trapped in the soil, this reduces the overall CO2 emission(Brookes et al, 2016). Use of GM crops also has benefits for the producers in developing countries,…

Rose smiled 'Yes' while thinking 'You made it' a mite obvious, following into a small hallway at stairs bottom. A door to the right led into the living room. ‘Set yourselves down gal, I bet you could do with a cup of tea after such a long trip’. Going into adjacent kitchen, which led onto the back yard where an out barn housed a few chickens, calling back ‘That will be the young girl I take it then’! ‘Yes this is Natalie, my youngest' replied Rose, smiling to herself 'How observant you are'…
