Middle Class Morality - 1,503 words
Middle Class Morality MIDDLE CLASS MORALITY Values
and morals of the Victorian era are quite
different than those that our society upholds
today. The satirical plays, A Doll's House by
Henrik Ibsen, and Pygmalion by George Bernard
Shaw, examine the problems with certain beliefs
held by the people, both men and women, of the
Victorian age. Furthermore, the people in general
didn't not just hold certain morals, but the
different classes in the Victorian society also
held their own beliefs on moral code. Of which,
the middle class beliefs are most closely examined
in both plays. Men and women were expected by
others in Victorian society to uphold certain
moral behaviors. These expectations caus ...

Buckley Jr - 2,713 words
1. WM. F. BUCKLEY JR. Last summer WFB was asked by
the New York Bar Association to make a statement
to the panel of lawyers considering the drug
question. He made the following statement: We are
speaking of a plague that consumes an estimated
$75 billion per year of public money, exacts an
estimated $70 billion a year from consumers, is
responsible for nearly 50 per cent of the million
Americans who are today in jail, occupies an
estimated 50 per cent of the trial time of our
judiciary, and takes the time of 400,000
policemen--yet a plague for which no cure is at
hand, nor in prospect. Perhaps you, ladies and
gentlemen of the Bar, will understand it if I
chronicle my own itinerary on the sub ...

1776 Vs 1789 - 1,691 words
1776 vs 1789 The American and French Revolutions
both occurred in the eighteenth century;
subverting the existing government and opening the
way for capitalism and constitutionalism. Because
of these similarities, the two revolutions are
often assumed to be essentially eastern and
western versions of each other. However, the two
are fundamentally different in their reason, their
rise, progress, termination, and in the events
that followed, even to the present. The American
Revolution was not primarily fought for
independence. Independence was an almost
accidental by-product of the Americans attempt to
rebel against and remove unfair taxes levied on
them by British Parliament. Through propaga ...

1984 By George Orwell - 905 words
1984 By George Orwell George Orwell was not only a
writer, but also an important political reformer.
Orwell was born in India in 1903. He considered
his family a lower-middle class family. He said
this because his family was a part of the middle
class, but had little money. His father worked for
the British government and was able to be apart of
the middle class without money. Orwell lived in
Britain and went to boarding school there on
scholarships. He was the poorest student among
many wealthy children. Orwell felt like an
outsider at the boarding schools he went to. The
students were all kept in line by beatings. This
was Orwell's first taste of dictatorship, being
helpless under the rule ...

1984 Vs Animal Farm - 1,278 words
1984 Vs. Animal Farm 1984 vs. Animal Farm 1984, by
George Orwell, is a very powerful drama which
involves man and totalitarian society. It is a
story of a lonely rebel whose only valuable is his
mind and who later conspires with another in an
attempt to separate from their increasingly
dominant hate-infested society. In 1984, Orwell
depicts the susceptibility of today's society and
its possibility of becoming a realm of lies. In
it, the masses live in constant fear, being
monitored at all times. He also admonishes the
fact that this society can be in store for us in
the future. The main theme of 1984 is that without
independent thought and freedom, corruption can
and will transform decent or ...

A Booming End To The 19th Century - 1,105 words
A Booming End To The 19Th Century More changes
occurred in America in the late 19th century than
any other time period. The country went through
rapid expansion from residents of its land to
cuisine to transportation of goods and people.
While the last quarter of the 20th century brought
many modern conveniences, the century before
brought this country things that would be nearly
impossible to live without. The development of
railroads was the single greatest change in the
19th century. In only twenty-five years, almost
70,000 miles of tracks were laid. This in itself
was a great feat, because of all the people and
products used in the building of the railroads. In

A Post-Modern Age? A Post-Modern Age?
Introduction: Post-Modernism can be described as a
particular style of thought. It is a concept that
correlates the emergence of new features and types
of social life and economic order in a culture;
often called modernization, post-industrial,
consumer, media, or multinational capitalistic
societies. In Modernity, we have the sense or idea
that the present is discontinuous with the past,
that through a process of social, technological,
and cultural change (either through improvement,
that is, progress, or through decline) life in the
present is fundamentally different from life in
the past. This sense or idea as a world view

Importance of 1984 1984 was a very important book.
First, it helped show where communism was headed,
and helped create repulsion towards Communism.
Before this book (and Animal Farm) a lot of people
thought Communism was a good thing. The major
mainstream generally neutral about it, but this
book really opened up and showed what a bad idea
it was, because it showed where communism was
headed, not a place where everyone was equal, but
a place that was once that and evolved into a
horrible totalitarian government that could never
be toppled. Second, I'm not sure whether this book
could last for years for generations to enjoy.

our own demand as consumers, the use of
