Freedom from Fear

Or for those of you who live in the five boroughs, Long Island, or New Jersey, “upstate”. Don’t worry, even when you return in ten years after your great educations from esteemed colleges for the alumni lunches, that will never change. In September of 2014, I was a small five foot one inch (and I will fight all of you on that

qualities innately apparent within the presented society. The characters, world, and moral high grounds rotate around the psychological barriers put in place from the beginnings of the civilization created. 1984 exists within a highly elevated but wildly hindered society controlled through the practices of groupthink, mind manipulation, fear mongering, and mental torture. Orwell manifests a world desirous of a controlled existence. Individuals within the society intrinsically become chained to the

This is the quotation that Thomas Hobbes explains how people should select the common power, or the sovereign government. The common power is the institution that protects people from the threat which is guided by their self-interests, and it protects the people by using the fear of punishment. The way Hobbes suggests is to select one man or group of men who most people can agree to give up their power and reside the power to the one sovereign power. Once the power is selected, it will decide what

that I value the most are courage, freedom, diversity, and home. Freedom means different things to different people. It can mean a chance to vote, freedom to worship, or being able to speak your mind without fear. Many people take the blessing of the Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms we enjoy in America for granted, not realizing what they really mean or what has been done to secure them. Freedom

For some, the only will for survival was fear of death, and for others it was the deep desire to achieve their own freedom and the freedom of their children, like with Jacobs and her grandmother. Unfortunately, they were often too petrified to attempt to run or fight back for fear of being brutally punished similarly to the others they had seen try before them. With the threat of her children being put to work

Freedom “We will have difficult times. We’ve had difficult times in the past. We will have difficult times in the future.” Eulogy from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.(36-37) The quote shows that struggles will never stop coming our way, but that does not mean you should give up- do not lose hope, face your challenges head on. You have to demand for your freedom because nobody else is going to stand up for what you want. Freedom can be achieved through determination because when you have a set goal in

Privacy can give us more confidence and freedom to reach a decision and practice social and political activities without fear or restrictions from other external sources. The disadvantages of privacy can be the difficulty of preventing a criminal offense from happening if we don’t know any info about the criminals. Privacy is the state or status of being detached from being observed or disturbed by other people, but sometimes in contradicting that privacy

stepped foot onto this country they brought with them the dreams of a better life. A life that would be built of the backs of others. The colonists dreamt of freedom, religious and otherwise, but only for the white man. The colonists came to the United States unknowingly pursuing the American Dream, the idea that a person has the complete freedom and opportunity to pursue their own idea of happiness. The American Dream is unrealistic for minorities and works against African Americans in three main ways:

fathers once said, “ Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one”. The book 1984 is the perfect example of freedom vs security. Some of the characters in the book put off the vibe that they have no freedom. I would have to agree with them. There is no freedom in Orwell’s 1984 because a majority of characters such as Winston, Julia, and Mr. charrington have to live in a world of fear, hostility, and aggression; with the fear of getting caught by The Thought Police

The main character, Winston Smith, along with his love affair, Julia, lead a double life in which they follow all the rules in the eyes of the Party, but once they are hidden from telescreens, they speak true of their minds and seek a way to join the Brotherhood.
