Both the novel and film adaptations of “Exterminate All the Brutes” have been beautifully crafted in different ways that explore and interpret colonial history and injustices. The pair share the purpose of stimulating awareness and reflection for both viewers and readers, with the aim of achieving an acknowledgment of the brutality that is the foundation of our modern society. Throughout his novel, Sven Lindqvist walks the readers through the colonialism, discrimination, and genocide of any race

criminals have become much more sophisticated in the past few years at breaking passwords. Two major types of “cracking” methods are used: brute force and dictionary attacks. Brute force is “a trial and error method used by application programs to decode data such as passwords or Data Encryption Standards keys, through exhaustive effort”, thus the term brute force. It is similar to a thief trying multiple combinations to “crack” a safe. Dictionary attacks use large dictionaries, sometimes containing

by Elie Wiesel, there are multiple people who became brutes due to the atrocities and the cruel treatment they were exposed to. Many of these people were good people before the Holocaust too. Wiesel shows how exposure to different environments can change a person completely. People began to think and focus on themselves rather than others. A lot of people also turned on their families because of their treatment. Examples of people being brutes is all of the people on the train who beat the screaming

“EXTERMINATE ALL THE BRUTES” Sven Lindqvist’s “Exterminate all the Brutes” explores the idea that genocides have been deeply rooted in European thinking over the last century. It is written in the form of a travel dairy and a historical examination of European racism over the past two centuries. Lindqvist argues that the harrowing racism that led to the Holocaust in the twentieth century had its roots in European colonial policy of the preceding century. The act of genocide itself is not a new

White Brutes in Literature White people were portrayed as brutes in most literature during the Harlem Renaissance, due to the racial issues of the area and time. In Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, the first chapter named “Battle Royal” it displays a character who is beaten and tormented, just for the right to graduate and give a final speech, all while aggressive drunk white people of great stature sit and watch. These men are aggressive and have a deep hatred for the young African-American men, and

the Peninsula and Waterloo Campaigns during his fourteen-year military career, offers an insight into the lives of the labelled soldiers and interpretation of whether this label can be deemed accurate. The idea of the British soldier as a drunken brute is inaccurate. The men who enlisted to fight against Napoleon were more often than not forced to do so out of economic necessity. “Soldiers’ delinquencies seemed to many contemporaries to be the unavoidable result of the type of men who enlisted.”2

“Why don’t they shoot us all right away?” (Wiesel 75) This quote shows a man both becoming a brute and retaining humanity. The inhuman part is simply not wanting to live any more and putting down life for the sake of comfort of death. However, the speaker stays human in seeing how terrible these circumstances are and rejecting by asking for death. In his book “Night”, Elie Wiesel becomes a brute in some ways and maintains his humanity in others. In the beginning of Elie’s holocaust experience,

61Through this it is argued the art will not be disenfranchised by the structure and it gains the capacity for change.  This is what Merleau-Ponty calls a “brute fabric of meaning” 62wherein the painter takes upon the raw fabric of the world when he renders their experience in a painting. Then the completed painting is quite literally a brute fabric that the viewer draws upon in his interpretation of what is rendered. The revelation

I found the most interesting thing to be, that throughout both Compassion for the Brute Creation and in Shelley's work, there was the common idea that harming animals or eating meat can both cause people to be violent (from their point of view). They both repeatedly discuss the notion that harming animals will lead humans to hurt other humans. "Those who began by torturing cats and dogs would end by murdering their fellows" (pp.151). I found that one of the main reasons that led to the changing attitudes

This resulted in the loss of millions of future customers, Sony said one of its highest priorities is to rebuild public confidence. Much of the online community directed much of their frustration towards the hackers, while Sony’s first suspect was the highly acclaimed hacker collective known as “Anonymous”, Trend Micro’s Security
