...The World of Big Brother By: Nasreen Khaliq Nineteen Eighty-Four is a film directed by Michael Radford. It was released in 1984 and is a movie adaptation of the dystopian novel of the same name by George Orwell. It stars John Hurt as Winston Smith, Suzanna Hamilton as Julia, Richard Burton as O’Brien, Cyril Cusack as Charrington, Gregor Fisher as Parsons, and James Walker as Syme. It is a film about the super power Oceania, which is one of the three states in the world, and how everything in the citizens’ lives, from work to thought and emotion, is either supressed or controlled by the totalitarian government. History is constantly edited and rewritten, and eradication of the English language is seen as a wonderful thing and is encouraged to make way for a new language called “Newspeak”, which consists of worlds like “thoughtcrime” and “crimestop”. The film deals with the main character Winston Smith, and his life living under the watchful eyes of “Big Brother”. Directors face quite a daunting task when creating a film based on a novel. It is always hard to find the perfect actors who not only fit the part of the characters, but can also portray them in a realistic way. In between reading the characters in the novel, and watching them later on in the film, it is evident that the characters have suffered many alterations. In Nineteen Eighty-Four, one character that has managed to evade change is O’Brien. In the novel he is described as a very intelligent and powerful man who...

...story. This season on "Little People, Big World" Matt made it sound like they really need Caryn on the farm. He said, "Caryn is instrumental in running pumpkin season, she’s run it for 10 years. She tries to get Amy as involved as she can. There was awkwardness a little bit, but we’re all kind of finding our way. I enjoy her immensely. Whether we’re working or whether we’re relaxing, we have a great time together.” Did they split? So far, nobody seems to know for sure if Matt and Caryn split, but it sounds that way. He is no longer following her on Instagram and there isn't really any other reason that she would quit working at the farm. Some of the kids are still following her, but they may have just not taken the time to unfollow yet. It could also depend on if the split was a good one if they ever unfollow her. The last time they were seen together was in March. That was two months ago, so it is very possible that there was trouble in paradise and they aren't together now. Matt did move away from the farm, but it was never confirmed that Caryn was living with him even though some people assumed it. They have been together for about a year. Now, the fans are just going to have to wait and see what Matt Roloff has to say. Since the news is coming out, he might decide that it is time for him to confirm it all. Matt is on social networks a lot. Right now, Matt and Caryn are still staying quiet, and the episodes of "Little People, Big World" that are airing were filmed a long...

...countries followed nationalism’s ideas as they fought in wars throughout Big Era 8. World War I, the Interwar Years, and World War II were three periods during Big Era 8 in which atrocious violence between different countries and groups took place resulting in the death of millions of civilians and soldiers. The driving cause behind these events was nationalism. This concept promoted the idea that everyone that shares traditions, customs, beliefs and language should be united, and created the feeling of a nation’s superiority over other nations. One way that it impacted Big Era 8 was through encouraging groups of people like the Jews, Serbs or Germans to unite all of their people under...

...Big World- theme paragraph A major theme in Tim Winton’s award winning short story, ‘Big World’ is self-discovery. Throughout the short story the main character and his best mate Biggie struggle to decide what they want to do with their lives. The author shows how young adults may struggle with life immediately after their school life finishes, and how these people cope with the uncertainty of their futures. Winton explains how the two main characters are feeling trapped and unsure, by using phrases such as, “the Southern sky presses down,” (on them), and “week after week an endless misting drizzle wafts in from the sea.” The first person narrator talk about his “dreaded exam results,” and how “the news is not good,” this explains why he is...

...Within the book The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things, I felt as I was sitting with Virginia listening to her tell me this story in which I became enraged with anger, sadness, and also proud of her. A teenager with self-confidence issues is not out of the ordinary, but parents that contribute to it is absurd and depressing. The perfect family in which Virginia feels like she is not a part of, huge body issues, feeling alone at school and then her world is flipped upside down by her brother’s date rape really got to me in many ways. The view that Virginia portrays of her family is less than perfect which is the complete opposite of what the family believes they are. I was absolutely annoyed with the family life her Mom pretends they have. Byron puts himself above her, and chooses to treat her as he does not care for her. With her Mom being a psychologist, I cannot understand why she always seems to put her other kids in a separate category than Virginia is in. From this, I actually have caught myself making sure that I treat all of my kids fairly. In my own life, I was the youngest and never really had any issues with my parents favoring my brothers over me but I have questioned myself with my own kids. I have always done my best at trying to make everything equal for them. Having kids of my own, I have seen an array of issues with all of them. I am completely supportive of their choices in clothing and whatever their size. Virginia’s parents and siblings...

...Conclusion 7 6. Sources 7 1. Background Globalization is simply becoming world-wide or making it world-wide. It exists at a lot of places in different sizes. Globalization is to create a good world economy. This could be done by big multinational companies. The reason why I mention the multinationals is because of the influence that they (can) have on the economy worldwide. After all, the world trade plays the biggest part in it. However globalization and the free world trade don’t automatically mean that the well-being is divided all over the world. But where did it start? Who started it and why is it so important for the well being of the world? Well, the globalization existed during different levels/steps. People/companies with power from the past created our current globalize civilization. The first level was when the South conquered the North and applying economical structures. Consequences were the slavery. The second level was the colonization. The North plundered the South, recreated maps and set up one religion and forced their language to be the official language. The third level was pressuring through the political side but the fourth step is the step of globalization that we all go through right now. Because after the first and second world war, the fall of the Berlin wall and the fall of the Soviet Union, the capitalism and the globalization grow heavily and spread world wide. From that point the globalization started to grow and grow. 2. Globalization...

...World hunger World hunger is the worst problem in the world today. My goal today, is to bring to yourknowledge the facts surrounding world hunger and what you can do to help. Let’s start bydefining world Hunger. Hunger is a term which has three meanings according Oxford EnglishDictionary (1971) “1.the uneasy or painful sensation caused by want of food; craving appetite.Also the exhausted condition caused by want of food 2.the want or scarcity of food in a country3.a strong desire or craving.” World hunger is defined by the 2nd definition on a world scale. Ithink that world hunger is an unfair problem in the world and needs to be solved. Just becausepeople have fewer opportunities than me does not mean they can suffer hunger. In this paper Iwill list statistics, other information surrounding world hunger and ways you can help so thebiggest problem in the world can be solved. In 2010 United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO) estimated the numberof people hungry in the world. The numbers were:578 million in Asia and the Pacific, 39 millionin Sub-Saharan Africa, 53 million in Latin America and the Caribbean, 37 million in the NearEast and North Africa and 19 million in developed countries. That is a total of 925 millionpeople in the world. World Food Programme put it in a different statistic that puts a light on justhow big the problem is. They said that 1 in 7 people in the world are hungry. That is why I careabout world hunger. 1 in 7 is hungry because they have fewer...

...the ages. But, with the growth of Science and Technology, the world has gone far ahead in using its knowledge of Science as an instrument of destruction. The movement of the world in its knowledge of Science has been thought provoking for the Indians also, and they have had to do some rethinking in the matter. Immediately after independence, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India started building friendships with other countries but, somehow, since its very inception, our relations with our closet neighbor Pakistan, have been mutually lacking in trust, and as such they remained strained always. During the span of 25 years, from 1948 to 1971, India has three wars thrust upon it by Pakistan, which India obviously had to fight. In the year 1962, a war was also thrust upon India by another neighbor Chin. It is with this background that, India had to review its defense policy and defense budget. This it had to do only to be able to defend itself from onslaughts of others. Even after the wars India had to fight, in its thinking and attitude of not fighting. India did not undergo any change, but, it also realized that, with others continuing to advance in destructive management, India had to develop its knowledge of destruction, only if it was to save itself. With this background, and the scenario of the world India had to perforce plan out a strategy of defending itself. The world scenario that has developed through the years is that, the great...

...should be known. Initially, exemptionalists are the people who see the humankind that can handle every problem, so they claim that the problems which occur do not require worrying about. On the other hand, environmentalists are the people who see humankind as a part of a nature so they point out that humankind is related to environment directly, hence humankind is affected all the problems about environment. Universe is the place where everything stays and occurs in. Universe was created from nothing with Big Bang. This place applies physical laws. Judgment day is the time many religions accept that God will end the life which we live. Mainly theories about end of the world can be separated into three groups which are the end because of human based problems, physical destruction of universe and the order of God. Although the human based damages on the Earth are getting more and more serious and physical collapse of universe makes sense scientifically, the decision of end of the world only depends on the owner of everything, the God, not the humankind. To begin with, humankind must be seen as a one living organism and living things do not harm, on the contrary save themselves when the conditions become serious. There are many problems and treats that nature encounters with such as; global warming, epidemic diseases, pollution, overpopulation,...

...[pic] Management consulting To the brainy, the spoils As the world grows more confusing, demand for clever consultants is booming May 11th 2013 | NEW YORK |From the print edition [pic] ELITE management consultancies shun the spotlight. They hardly advertise: everyone who might hire them already knows their names. The Manhattan office that houses McKinsey & Company does not trumpet the fact in its lobby. At Bain & Company’s recent partner meeting at a Maryland hotel, signs and name-tags carried a discreet logo, but no mention of Bain. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), which announced growing revenues in a quiet press release in April, counts as the braggart of the bunch. [pic] Consultants have a lot to smile about (see table). The leading three strategy consultancies have seen years of double-digit growth despite global economic gloom. In 2011, the last year for which Kennedy Information, a consulting-research group, has comparable revenue numbers, Bain grew by 17.3%, BCG by 14.5% and McKinsey by 12.4%. All three are opening new offices. Big trends that befuddle clients mean big money for clever consultants. Barack Obama’s gazillion-page health reform has boosted health-care consulting; firms would rather pay up than read the blasted thing. The Dodd-Frank financial reform has done the same for financial-sector work. Energy and technology are hot, too. Companies are reluctant to talk about their use of consultants, and consultancies are relentlessly tight-lipped...

...Milana Manojlovic Ms. Miminas ENG 3U Tuesday, June 14th, 2016 Dystopian Society in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four The citizens in Nineteen Eighty-Four live in a world polar opposite of perfect. They are constantly being watched and oppressed by big brother and the thought police. The citizens live an unorthodox life due to the totalitarian government. The theme of dystopia is evident in nineteen eighty-four because information, independent thought and freedom are restricted, a figurehead is worshipped by citizens, and they are under constant surveillance. Firstly, Nineteen Eighty- Four emulates the theme of dystopia because information, independent thought, and freedom are restricted. The citizens in Oceania live in a world where they are not allowed to feel human emotions. They are constantly being watched by the thought police and are forced to live in constant fear. They must show that they are abiding Big Brothers orders constantly to avoid being annihilated. The citizens are blind to Big Brothers plans because all information from the past is erased and all information for the future is kept secret. The proles are the only people in their world who do not look up to Big Brother. Although they live in a lower class compared to the people in the party, the proles are able to do whatever they want because Big Brother does not control them. The people in the party may have a more secure home and Manojlovic 2 material items; however, the proles are free to...

...for human and humans have all right to use nature for each of their purposes. By time our needs were changed, we needed to use more of nature. For instance, we use woods to cook food. To heat ourselves we burned woods. Then we found the coal. The coal was very effective to get energy for lots of our needs. However, human always wants more because their needs are changed. Next, we found how to use petroleum to get energy. Why we have to get energy is because energy is fundamental for people daily life. It helps us deliver nourishment, fuel transport and energize communication channels over the world. Over the impending decades, more individuals will obtain entrance to energy and appreciate higher standards for everyday life. However these improvements could cause big pressure on our world’s resources, such as energy, fresh water and food. In the meantime, environmental change remains a big concern. Petroleum sector is one of the harmful sectors. At the beginning of using petroleum, people were using it for lightning mostly. During industrial revolution, chemist found that distillation separates petroleum to more useful forms. Engines started to work with some of new forms of petroleum, gasoline, fuel oil etc. Therefore, energy sources are used like power sources. It means people can use energy to make money. When it comes to money, things are changed. Lots of entrepreneurs established companies for removing oil, for refining it, for transporting it, for distributing and for selling...

...In a world where almost everyone blindly follows a leader, there are bound to be problems. Where no thoughts are allowed, there is bound to be at least one that wants to rebel. In the novel, 1984, by George Orwell, all citizens of Oceania are kept under surveillance 24/7. There is no freedom in their world. However, not everyone is down with the party. Winston and Julia take a different route, and choose to rebel against Big Brother, thinking they have escaped the watchful eyes of the party. However, they were sadly mistaken.
