The second problem that Snowpiercer handles is the issue about human rights. In the film, there is a scene when Wilford’s secretary visits the tail section to take away two children, saying that Wilford likes children. However, Curtis who reaches the engine compartment in the end finds out that these children are used as a passive component of the engine that has no resource to replace. This shows violation of human rights since the rights of these children are considered ignorable in order to maintain the big system, of Snowpiercer. Another example that shows violation of human rights is when genocide is carried out in order to maintain the “balanced ecosystem”. The protagonists who fought all the way to the head section encounters Wilford …show more content…
One of the solution suggested is the emergence of a leader with new points of view. There are three types of leaders that appear in Snowpiercer. Guilliam, the leader of the tail section, suggests the rebels to return to the tail section after they conquer the compartment controlling the water supply. From this action, he can be regarded as a realist. However, since he turns out to be one of the antagonists, he can be seen as a symbol of corrupted leader. Another leader is Curtis, who plans to take over the engine compartment to drive out the dictator. However, his solution is not ideal since it does not change the basic of the system. Rather, it changes the main agent of the dictatorship only. In contrast to these two leaders who were unable propose a solution capable of fixing the situation, Namgoong Minsoo approaches the problem from a new point of view. He suggests an absolutely novel solution, which is to escape from the train. Bong Joonho said “Actually, the thought of Curtis is still binded up in the tail compartment although his body moved forward. However, Namgoong Minsoo has a totally different vision. While Curtis looks at the front, Minsoo always looks outside, even when he eats sushi or watches an airplane flying. Finally, he suggests a door that leads to the outside world and as the children walk towards the way that he suggests, the film ends” (Naver film). Since the train represents the history of mankind, escape from the train can be seen as escaping
Joe Smith a sales representative is one of Tom Tramlins top people in sales for UWEAR and PALEDENIM. Bill Bateman the CEO of the Peninsula Hotel chains met with Joe through Tom through the last contract and is meeting with him again to discuss the renewal of the contract for supplying uniforms for their employees at the hotel. Joe has become good friends with Bill and his wife and have received many perks since the last signing of the contract, like being invited to go on their yacht, social events, and staying at the hotel which is very beautiful and has an excellent swimming pool with a waterfall that the kids absolutely love. Joe landed the last contract by pricing the uniforms
Their malfunction as ruling figures is another way Orwell exemplifies his philosophy. Snowball comes across as the more compassionate and charismatic of the two, where as Napoleon is the thinker and has more “depth of character.” The two compete for power and use propaganda and catchy slogans to gain control of the public majority.
After the dirty deed of murder was done Napoleon accused Snowball of being a traitor working with Mr. Jones trying to have him Mr. Jones reacquire the farm. The great ideas of Snowball were taken by Napoleon and claimed to have made his own like the Snowballs design of the windmill. The work on the farm increased and since it is a democracy where everyone agrees to make decisions, Napoleon tells the people he will do what is best for them. It starts to create a divide among the working animals and the pigs who were the brains of the operation.
Snowball is eventually forced out of the farm when Napoleon uses his guard dogs to attack Snowball. After that, he is blamed for issues of the farm, and it is claimed that he was in support of Mr. Jones at the beginning. Even though he fought for Mr. Jones and the shorts offends are distorted to wounds Napoleon perpetrated on him, those faulted of associating him are achieved after being required to profess, or declare, and a compensation is proposed for his capture.
The depiction of the naive molly as shallow and materialistic through Snowballs rhetorical question exhibits her as symbolic of human oppression through her proud emphasis on the ribbons which represent a badge of slavery fundamentally juxtaposed by his Marxist ideals of egalitarianism. Ironically, Molly loses her liberty by surrendering to the ideals presented by Snowball clearly portraying the way in which Snowball employs the use of Propaganda to manipulate truth. Furthermore, Orwell’s satirical allegory highly explores the distortion of truth through Squealer who acts as a persuasive mechanism in order to consolidate totalitarian rule. He does through his correlation with the leadership of the pig intelligentsia (Snowball and Napoleon) to refine Old Major’s philosophy into the doctrine of Animalism. This is clearly exemplified through “Squealer was a brilliant talker, and when he was arguing some difficult point he has a way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail which was somehow very
Napoleon and Squealer use lies manipulate the other naive animals, leading to unjust treatment of the workers. when the windmill is knocked over by a heavy storm, Napoleon takes advantage of the situation and blames Snowball. “ ‘Do you know the enemy who has come in the night and overthrown the windmill? SNOWBALL!’ he suddenly roared in a voice of thunder. ‘Snowball has done this thing!’”(70). As shown, Napoleon is blaming Snowball for the farm’s failures, instead of taking the blame for mediocre planning of the windmill. Orwell uses auditory imagery combined with a metaphor to convey how manipulative Napoleon is, reacting emotionally when telling a lie. Here, Napoleon is using his eloquence to give a convincing argument and wrongly persuade the simple-minded animals into believing that Snowball was at fault. These actions demonstrate the dangers of an uneducated and gullible working class, ready to believe anything, making them believe that the leaders could not be at fault. In addition, after many years,
In this paper I will discuss the ethical vignette as it deals with confidentiality and ethical dilemmas that counselor’s face. I will reflect on a video presentation as well as the North Carolina rules and regulation and the ACA Code of Ethics as it relates to confidentiality and ethics. I will explain why confidentiality is important and what the rules says about it. This will help me and others to become a better counselor.

As part of an effort to hire younger workers, a multinational organization assures applicants that they will get to visit its offices in other countries and work with the employees there. However, only two out of every nine workers actually get selected for such projects. What moral dilemma best fits this scenario?
Snowball goes out of his way to convince our comrades that whatever decisions or actions we have taken were completely reasonable. He even justified that I’m always correct in my decisions, such a good comrade! Now our only concern are runners, like that traitor Mollie. She just couldn’t take the wonderful place that we have created, and went back to her old ways of being a suckup showhorse for some random human. Who knows what they are doing now, but frankly I could care less. She’s a traitor, and traitors are not tolerated in a Farm and should be expunged and forgotten. But I’m sure we can keep our comrades from es- I mean abandoning our lovely utopia of a farm. I mean, how could anyone leave this place, it’s so wonderful, especially compared to the horrible dictatorship we were under when Mr. Jones was in charge.
A friend and CEO of a mid-sized chemical refinery in Vernal, Utah hired you to be the Vice President for Research, Development, and Safety one year ago. Shortly after starting your new role, you discovered that the prior management team had kept secret potentially devastating information. The company had built its building on top of thirty 5,000-gallon tanks used to store highly toxic chemicals. Even though the tanks were drained 20 years ago, the toxic sludge remains, and might be slowly leaking out of the rusting tanks into the water table beneath it. This water naturally flows to the Navajo reservation about 25 miles away and might already be causing medical issues at the reservation.
“War is war, the only good human being is a dead one” (28). These sentences point Snowball’s view that there is no need for sentimentally, everything is right in war. In this battle we saw Snowball’s ideal leadership and intelligence. As a result, he gets an award of ‘Animal Hero, First Class.’ (28). Similarly, Trotsky was the leader of “Red Army”. He won the Russian Civil War and became the second leader of the country. After the war, Snowball and Trotsky became an important leader to the society.
Snowball was once a leader of animal farm with big ideas such as building a windmill. He had comrades and friends and luxuries such as milk and apples. After his conflict at the end of his relationship with Napoleon he was negatively affected as he was expelled from Animal Farm. He lost his leadership and power, his friends, his luxuries and his ability to create things such as the windmill plans as he had lost the need to do so. Snowball once had the ability to persuade the animals to build his windmill” Electricity could operate threshing-machines, ploughs, harrows, rollers and reapers and binders, besides supplying every stall with its own electric light, hot and cold water and an electric heater”. This shows how Snowball had courageous ideas to help Animal Farm and how that his relationship with Napoleon hindered these ideas to the extent of it being lost completely when he was expelled. This shows how conflict usually negatively effects one party, and positively the other, in a
To achieve this goal successfully, the most effective way is to create a public enemy so that the public will pay more attention to going against the enemy. The enemy in this book are not the human being, but another pig who protests against Napoleon named Snowball. In the struggle among parties, Snowball sadly defeated by the cunning Napoleon, was forced to escape the manor. When he was gone, Napoleon enumerated a list of crimes, blaming the Snowball for all the mistakes that had occurred in the
When the idea of a windmill comes up at first only Snowball wants it to be built, as he wants a better future for everyone, but Napoleon wants nothing to do with it, since he is opposed to Snowball and wants to focus on the present. After Napoleon drives Snowball away from the farm during a meeting with his nine dogs, he accepts the idea of a windmill but changes it so that it will take two years of hard work instead of one as Snowball planned. When the other animals discover that he is hoarding the milk and apples from them Squealer spares him from their rage by talking them down and saying that Mr. Jones, the human owner of the farm, will come back if the pigs don’t have food to make themselves smart.
