Comparing Lenina And Bernard

Horace Miner describes the people of the North American tribe the Naciremas as persons “devoted to economic pursuits (Body Ritual Among the Nacirema. Miner. 503.3.2)” and ritual activities of the human body. Miner uses a satirical style, play on words to abnormally describe such cultural upon this tribe. Throughout the text, Miner uses words and or phrases such as: “sadism, masochistic, neophyte, awls, and objects in the exorcism of the evils of the mouth involves almost unbelievable ritual torture of the client.” Horace Miner, uses those such words and phrases to describe the various everyday rituals conducted by the Naciremas by producing ethnocentrism through the readers of his text.

Revolution, one of the most significant similarities is characters. One of the many allegories is Old Major and Vladimir Lenin. Vladimir Lenin was born on April 10th, 1870. He was born into a wealthy family and early in his life, his brother was executed for trying to kill Czar Alexander the 3rd in a bombing plot. This event eventually led him to becoming a Marxist. One of the main things that Lenin is known for is being one of the founding fathers of Communism and for being the leader of the Bolshevik Party. The Bolshevik Party was established during the Russian Revolution to overtake the Provisional Government because of their inability to keep up with their commitments to the Russian citizens. When speaking of Old

When Bernard visited a “Savage Reservation” in Mexico he met an unlikely person of interest, Linda. Linda was a British women who had been injured and taken care of by the “Savages”, she had a child named John, who was the son of the director of the hatchery in London. In Linda’s current state she was ugly and broken, but she dreamed for the day of returning to London, to be away from the “Savages”. Her son John also, wished to venture to this “Brave New World” because he was an outcast in the village he grew up in since his mother was an outsider. And so, the beginning of Bernard’s transformation began.

Both Lenina and Linda engage in promiscuous activity. Lenina has been conditioned to think that it is natural to be in a polygamous relationship, and having one partner is considered to be abnormal. In fact, it is Fanny who says “it’s such horribly bad form to go on and on like this with one man” (Huxley 36) and encourages Lenina to act more promiscuous. On the Savage Reserves, Linda has indiscriminate sexual affairs with the husbands of other women living in the Reserves. Linda allows Popé, her lover at the Savage Reserves, to use her to satisfy his sexual desires. For these two women, engaging in frivolous acts is considered normal because of the conditioning they were subjected to in their environments. Both women allow men to

In “The Jungle”, by Upton Sinclair, The Rudkuses are composed up of the stereotypical suffering victims of capitalism in America during the early 1900’s as the country was suffering through economic and population’s rapid growth due to immigrants. As the population grew, the available jobs decreased and the circulation was money decreased as well which lead to a failing economy amongst the immigrants. The rapid decrease in the economy lead to many illegal activities, and many people desperate for jobs. The desperate need for jobs lead to the business owners taking advantage of the people, and created many unsafe working conditions if it lead to money being saved. Their meat was processed, contaminated, and never checked for diseases. The immigrants considered themselves unprivileged, segregated, and worthless amongst a society of many people that treated their products and goods such as their workers, and the lack of standard kept in the workplace was viewed as the animal’s quality of life.

"Their (Natives) present condition, contrasted with what they once were, makes a most powerful appeal to our sympathies…By persuasion and force they have been made to retire from river to river and from mountain to mountain, until some of the tribes have become extinct and others have left but remnants to preserve for a while their once terrible names. Surrounded by the whites with their arts of civilization, which by destroying the resources of the savage doom him to

Rigoberta starts questioning her perspective on ladinos, wondering if they are really all bad. She befriends Indians who have worked with poor ladinos who suffer from the same problems as her community does. The poor, from ladino to Indian, are exploited just the same yet they are so conditioned to dislike one another it’s hard for them to unite and really consider their circumstances the same. This troubles Rigoberta greatly for she knows that the heart of her distress aches from abuse from the rich landowners and if the poor ladinos are abused the same, they ache as well. Rigoberta dares to live in a state of confusion when wondering why there is such an enormous barrier between ladino and Indian. This confused state of mind is progressive for her time because her culture has long equated change and confusion with chaos and

It’s shocking how two people from different societies can be both similar and different at the same time. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Linda and Lenina are two such characters. Each of them have their own characteristics which make them unique, but they also have separate characteristics. The three ways in which Lenina and Linda can be compared would be physically, intelligently, and emotionally.

Compare and contrast the ideologies and the political and economic practice of Lenin and Stalin.

John, a savage, has never been able to fit in society. Moving through two contradicting societies, John is unable to adapt to the major differences of the civilized society due to the different ways upon how it is conducted. Living with the savages, John feels isolated from the savages as they exclude him from most of their norms. John wanted to

In this article, Miner takes the role of an outsider and judges the Nacirema just as we judge other cultures. Miner does an exceptional job of wording things in such a way that we don’t even recognize our own culture. Miner wants us to realize that when someone, such as an anthropologist describes another culture, we can interpret that into being abnormal but in actuality, it is, by all means, very normal.

The author’s purpose in writing this article was not to show the “Nacirema” as an example of how extreme human behavior can become, but how an outside perspective can affect your perception of an alien culture. If one were to look at the “Nacirema’s” cultural behaviors regarding physical appearance and health without any insight or knowledge of the specific beliefs or values of that culture, they might seem bizarre and even incomprehensible. By showing behaviors and “rituals” performed by this unknown tribe, Miner allowed others to see that the way studies were representing distinctive cultures was narrowminded and defective. Without the proper comprehension of the basis of any society, huge cultural misunderstandings could occur. Of

Lenin and Jeanette wishes to prosecute for the Grand Theft of $23,000 that used to purchase the stolen vehicle, and occurred in Orlando Police Jursidcition according to F.S.S. 814.(-). They also wish to prosecute for Fraud, due to the fact Lenin and Jeanette were sold a stolen vehicle which occurred in Orlando Police Department under F.S.S. (-).

Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin were both Bolsheviks looking to make a communist state in Russia. They both had ideals and methods that brought them to where they got to and what they had achieved. While Lenin was more of a democratic follower, and allowed inter-party discussions, he was also a great theorist of socialism. He was also a communist who focused on the temporary capitalist development of Russia. As for Stalin, he was an opportunist politician, and was also a communist mostly just for his personal benefits and gains. He had and followed socialist policies and didn’t have the best personality and attitude, he was quite rude and disgraceful. These two leaders were mainly shaped into who they were due to their past, by comparing them, it will show if their pasts affected their ideology and methods as how different it was, also seeing how with the similar aims, how with their different attitudes and personality, they were able to

John is the son of a “civilized” woman named Linda and the previous Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning. Even though he was born of “civilized” members of society, John grew up on the “uncivilized” reservation where families existed and people were not made in laboratories. While growing up on the Reservation, John did not fit in well because of what the village thought of his mother. On page 121, John’s mother, Linda,says, “take the way they have one another here. Mad, I tell you, absolutely mad. Everybody belongs to everyone else---don’t they? Don’t they?” This quote emulates one of the main ideals that “civilized” people have. They do not believe in monogamy, and they believe that polygamy is the key to a stable civilization that is free from too much emotion. Because Linda followed the way of the “civilized” life that she grew up in, she was considered to live a promiscuous lifestyle by the other villagers. Therefore, John and Linda were outcasted or exiled from the village.
