Today, people suffer around the world with random acts of murder and violence by terrorists; who want to kill all people who do not join in their one group with fanatical ideals about Islam and suppressing women. These examples from real life history are enough proof for me to agree that through dystopias, authors are telling us that the idea of creating perfect societies is actually an act of abuse that creates monsters who disguise themselves as leaders. The Greatest Good for the Greatest Number of People A dystopian society is unpleasant and is made up of people who are repressed and have no rights to their own opinions and choices of life styles, like hair, clothing, religion, going to school and sometimes even driving a car. For example, in the Twilight Zone film, Number 12 Looks Just Like You, a young girl was being told that she had to choose between being transformed into Number 8 or Number 12 of styles of beautiful women. She had no choice, because she was going to be transformed into one of these two, through plastic surgery; even though she said she did not want a new body, new face, new hair or new
Grendel adapted because of the way he was treated by society which ultimately led to his destructive behavior. He wasn’t given a chance to conform to society because he was judged. His aggression was due to jealousy and loneliness. Grendel will always be seen as a monster because he comes from that culture. A world full of monsters, hate, violence, and evil.
It is just those selfish, greedy people who decide that they want more than what is rightfully theirs. There are also other factors to war but it will always be that the side that attempts to harm as little people as possible, who will be peceived as the ‘good side’. The greedy individuals create fear and anger and feed it into the minds of the people by controlling their emotions and twisting their opinions, for example: Adolf Hitler managed to persuade hundreds of people to dislike Jewish people, friends became enemies, colleagues became strangers. He also fed them images of the ‘perfect German’. This is an example of how people can be trained to do anything just like animals.
Cults Cults are new “religious” groups that are considered to be unorthodox. Cults devote themselves to a particular person, object, or a set of ideas. The leaders tend to brainwash their followers to the point where they have a powerful control over them. The devotion of the members is so infinite that they are willing to lose their identity, give up their freedom, and even commit the most gruesome murders in the name of their belief. The greatest factor that probably decides whether a group is a cult or a religious organization is criminal behavior such as murder, rape, abduction, and weapons stockpiling.
Today we regret the actions that we made in war and so do other countries involved. Most of the time it was all the signs and messages before they had even left. Terrible pictures of propaganda depicting life if the enemy won making everyman feel it would be there fault if they didn’t help. Posters forcing them to join and even more posters dehumanizing the enemy. This happened on both sides and led to an unrelenting hate to each other.
A few of the bad sides of religion include the way that different religions get stereotyped into the most terrible side of extremists. Another example of the past negativity the church has had in the past is the many crusades the church went on in order to force their outlook on the masses of Europe. There has also been many counts of corruption stemming from the Vatican all the way back to the beginning of the biblical era. Lastly the church has the ability to bring out the vilest sides of some people that turn into extreme groups that castigate and have even killed the people that didn’t follow their norms. The church we are talking about in this context is more the organized institution of church and not the sanctuaries some people confide in or, the community that the Sunday sermon can bring to people.
War has left a great part of humankind starving, homeless, emotionally and physically unstable. War is an incredibly disastrous act that should only take place when all other alternatives have been exhausted. All nations have a very intricate relationship which entails complicated solutions and negotiation along with many persons who have opposed views and cultures. Wars are ongoing for a variety of reasons ranging from: extended area of land, inner power struggle, natural resource, and religious beliefs. Although religion gives a person meaning to life, it guides people into the right direction, comforts people in times of sadness, and connects people together.
Words can create a certain connotations in every situation. The word “accuser” means “someone who imputes guilt or blame”, but also in the Old Testament of the Bible the word accuser was another name for Satan, the adversary, and one who opposes (New World Encyclopedia, 2011). Thus being said immediately any word being defined by something evil has a negative connotation, which impacts the people and situation in which the word is used. To call a victim of rape an accuser has major psychological effects on the victim, jurors and judges, the public and potential rapists. Sexual assault is one of the most under reported crimes, and 60% of rapes are still being unreported (RAINN.org, 2009).
We may go round our history books either lambasting or extolling powerful leaders, but we will always come to the conclusion that power does corrupt a man. The thirst for power is unbounded and the lamentable consequences often quash a man. Getting power is just the onset of melancholy, disaster, lugubriousness and sorrow. All the leaders throughout history were undoubtedly very strong and were feared but we often learn that they were sordid, uncouth, perpetrators, lascivious, perplexed and unscrupulous. They often committed a myriad of staggering sins and believed they were masters of perpetuity.
This has caused thousands of deaths and has created a grave fear within people. If we look at the objective knowledge, it is said that these terrorists are mainly religious or social extremists who are against society and hence want to attack and destroy it. But as most of the terrorists are Muslims or have Arabic origin, the mindset of the world has changed and now people of this religion are targeted and discriminated against. Here we can see that people have made this judgment on the Islamic community purely based upon subjective knowledge and
