Let us have a look at his key points and the problems with them. Berry gives several compelling reasons for refusing to own a computer. First, he does not want to be implicated in the destruction of nature by being dependent on a machine that uses electricity; for this same reason, he writes in the daytime with natural sunlight. Second, he resents the fact that he would be made to feel dependent on this machine. He compares computer manufacturers to manufacturers of farming equipment, who are constantly warning farmers of the need to buy the latest piece of expensive machinery if they are to stay in business.
Stalin later removed all other opponents and embraced some of their ideas. Additionally, ‘Napoleon’ made sure none of the other animals would rebel against him, and he took all the credit for Snowball’s idea of building the windmill. Because Stalin and Napoleon both wanted their ‘Nations’ to be
For example, Nicholas’ decisions were influenced highly by his teacher, Pobedonostev, who was an advisor to three Tsars. Pobedonostev’s views were solely on rugged individualism, Russification and sole Autocracy and had strong views upon the church. This meant that as Nicholas’ advisor, he would set very strong views of these themes upon the Tsars. Due to Peasants taking up the majority of the population of around 82%, Nicholas had a very easy job of appealing to multiple classes due to peasants not having very much power due to lack of money and such which meant that peasant revolts would be much less common. If by any reason, peasants were to have a revolt, Nicholas could just simply sent in a little power to sort out the situation.
Lenin had been making plans for the Bolsheviks since 1902, he wrote a pamphlet "What is to be done?" where he put forward his main views for the party, he wanted to form a tight-knit, exclusive organisation and avoid cooperation with any other parties. In his April Thesis he stated the future Bolshevik policy, he insisted that the Bolsheviks must overthrow the Provisional Government; abandon all cooperation with non-Bolshevik parties and demand that authority is passed to the Soviets. Initially Lenin was not so popular within the Bolsheviks, this was due to the other members of the party being unsure about attempting to overthrow the Provisional Government at this time but Lenin was determined to convince those who doubted his plan and so in the next two weeks after he arrived in Petrograd he spent hours at many Central Committee meetings to try and convince the waverers. However, it can be argued that his role was exaggerated, at first Lenin would not work with the peasants, he claimed that there was no sense in making an alliance with such a backward race.
“If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.” Before this quote, Boxer was arguing passionately against Squealer about Snowball’s alignment until the latter mentions that their leader, comrade Napoleon, said that Snowball was with humans. This makes Boxer immediately crush his own opinion with Napoleon’s views that shows how much Boxer has been ‘indoctrinated’. This quote from Boxer: “It must be due to some fault in ourselves. The solution, as I see it, is to work harder.” This quote shows Boxer’s belief that the pigs would never be at fault at any of the mistakes in the farm’s system. In addition, his main line “Napoleon is always right” shows that Boxer regards Napoleon very highly.
Evidence: For example, in the first stanza where it says “Send forth the best ye breed-- Go bind Your sons to exile To serve Your captives' need”, it demonstrates that the narrator does not take this very seriously because of the lack of reality he uses when he states those lines. Warrant: This is true because no one would really want to sacrifice there own children especially when there are suppose to be racially superior to everyone else. It makes no sense to even call this a burden because if you are superior to everyone then you should have absolutely no burdens since your better at everything. The narrator continues by saying that they sacrifice their children to serve their captives needs which also demonstrates that it is not serious because this would mean that you are sacrificing the best of the best in order to serve and save people that are worth much less then they are. 2nd Sub claim: Another thing that the narrator does is uses a lot of repetition in order to portray the way the white man claims to feel.
Diamond makes the rationalisation that our natural ancestors were better off in both health, method and unrefined human existence. Agriculture forced them to adopt a similar lifestyle which in turn killed off the hunter-gatherer. Diamond, therefore, indirectly agrees with Fanon and comentes his view against colonisation. Jared Diamond, questioning the progress of science, relates to the post-colonisation works of Frantz Fanon. Diamond doesn't necessarily disagree with agriculture, but simply has an opinion that the human race was better off before its introduction.
In a Utopia, every basic necessity has been taken care of for because everyone is equal and people are free to achieve their own ends. Or do they? The problem with this form of this idealistic government is that it is impossible to achieve it purely. In the stories, “Animal Farm”, a moral fable and satire that forebodes dystopia while “Childhood’s End,” a sci-fi novel illustrates the difficulty of preserving a Utopia and its inevitable downfall. In Animal Farm, the story begins with Old Major, the elder and diplomatic pig gathering the animals of the farm to listen to his speech about his ideals and vision for a perfect society where animals are free from man’s tyrant.
The book however is clearly set in England, so as not to directly insult the Russian Government. The meetings, which were eventually stopped by Napoleon, allowed the animals to form opinions collectively. The way in which Old Major and Snowball ran the farm, was democratic. Even though Old Major gives the message of ‘all animals are equal’, the farm’s animals accepted him as their leader. This is supported by, “highly regarded…lose an hour’s sleep in order to hear what he had to say.” The animals, due to Old Major’s maturity, accept what he says as fact and believe that he will act on what he declares.
Haig, Britain’s leader was an experienced cavalry officer but he sometimes underestimated the power of the German Army. The Germans held high ground around the Somme area and were able to see the preparations for the attack therefore they built another trench line to strengthen their defences. Britain reconnaissance aircraft observed this, but Haig ignored the reports and warnings. This was bad planning because he could have gone over the plans on order to make the attack a surprise. Another example of bad leadership is Haig refused to believe that the British shelling was not working.
