This not only gains a new tool to use but also gains you more strings pull and ways to do so. Like the revolutionaries of the past who fed the British after the Battle of Saratoga , the ploy is to make the opponents not to want to fight you, but see how you work in a way they do not want to battle any
“The preference upon the part of the refugee for plural leadership and decision” and “the resentment which succeeds the intrusion of strangers in relief leadership.” showed that people preferred to care for each other on their own instead then being instructed to do so, when they are left by themselves to do so. There always seems to be a sprinkling of the risk for belittling, or patronizing, for what makes them different. It removes the feeling of being civilized while caring for others that makes us act that way. “EMMA,” Emergency Managers Mutual Aid, born the fact that such services needed to be coordinated. Prince believed that the writings of a self-proclaimed “revolutionist” demonstrates that its the much more main- stream philosophy of a different era.
The more information they know about what’s actually going on in the world, they'll become frustrated, stressed, and interested about other subjects. In order to keep the people in the civilization distracted, parlor walls, big television screens, and seashells, earphones that play music, were invented in order to avoid the population from having free will. According to Ray Bradbury, having free will and curiosity in a corrupt society is not always accepted, but may lead to elation; Bradbury proves this in Fahrenheit 451 through the characters Montag, Clarisse, Faber, and Granger.

“If you’ve done something your boss is not going to like it is far better that yourself bring him the bad news “ (Pg 159). When sweeping a lie or mistake under the rug, like it never even happened, remember that it wont be too long till someone comes along, trips on the rug, and reveals your secret. “Bad news has a habit of spreading. It is always better to create your own trial scene than to let someone else rig one up” (Pg 159). People are more likely to respect an individual who comes right out and admits his/ her mistakes rather than waiting till they are uncovered.
These dangers are produced by our history. They rest on the fact that in order to conquer this continent, the particular aloneness of which I speak—the aloneness in which one discovers that life is tragic, and therefore unutterably beautiful—could not be permitted. And that this prohibition is typical of all emergent nations will be proved, I have no doubt, in many ways during the next fifty years. This continent now is conquered, but our habits and our fears remain. And, in the same way that to become a social human being one modifies and suppresses and, ultimately, without great courage, lies to oneself about all one’s interior, uncharted chaos, so have we, as a nation, modified or suppressed and lied about all the darker forces in our history.
The similar fear of the state's abuse of power and technology at the expense of human individuality present within these novels speaks to the relevance of these novels within their historical context and their usefulness for awakening people to the horrendous consequences of their ignorance. Eventually all the alienated characters come before some prophesising hand of the government who is ready to rationalize the right and duty of the government to possess such control over its people. In 1984 this is during the torture of Winston for his crime of not loving Big Brother. Orwell then reveals the horrors of an advanced dystopia through O’Brien such as the death of the individual, "Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind.
This is when special words are used by authoritative groups to confuse people. The third type of doublespeak is Gobbledygook. It’s when language is made non-understandable by throwing out big words and nonsense to make it into a sentence. Doublespeak is used throughout 1984. The examples in the story although, are extremely farfetched such as “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength.” (1984 Chapter 1) The government in 1984 is trying
In 1984 history is used as a way for the Party to maintain its power and make the Party look really good. Also history is “forgotten” because if the citizens realize that the Party lies and is weak the Party will be overthrown. The way history makes the Party look good is by altering past newspapers so it seems that the Party can predict the future and is very powerful. Not only that they also make it seem like anything that is new and is good was created by the Party and anything that is old and not good is from pre-Party. In Brave New World history is no longer necessary unless you are a world controller.
David Merino Period 5 1984: Disintegration of Humanity 6/16/11 Living in a world with freedom of expression, freedom of speech; basically, being free to doing anything can be seen as a blessing, but to some people, the lack of power and control over others is a disastrous way of living and it must be changed and adjusted. In the eyes of Big Brother and the System, the world and its inhabitants must be kept under strict rules and laws, and if broken, the criminals must be annihilated. These laws and consequences are what keep the “people” in 1984 from actually living as human beings. Two big components of humanity are the importance of linguistics and language, and our media, but when tampering with these components, which is the exactly what the System did, human life starts to disintegrate.
Conceptual blocking plays a huge role in today's organizational settings and everyday life. Conceptual blocking is a mindset that prevents people from seeing a problem from a unique perspective ("Habits that block creativity"). Conceptual blocks make problem solving difficult as it makes us think with a very restrictive criteria. Because of this, conceptual blocking leads to managers adopting solutions to problems that are a lot less desirable or overlooking ideas that would allow things to be done in an entirely different way. Reduction in conceptual blocking is heavily desired as it fosters outside-the-box thinking and leads to innovation.
