But people still need to recognise we have an institutional responsibility to do oversight on the President” Garry Bass, Congress. This quote supports my view on the Congress being a watchdog. If the Congress is a lapdog, the President can have a free ride on running the country how he wishes and not represent the people’s view. However that is not the case as the President cannot do everything which pleases him. However, looking at the statistics such as Bill Clintons presidency, in the first 2 years which was a united government, Congress exercised limited oversight, and when needed to, asked softball questions, however , when Republicans took over Congress, things got much harder as they seek to hold the President to account, and after a while, impeach.

Most Insidious Aspect of 1984F Band Newspeak is the most insidious aspect of the dystopia society of 1984 because it prevents the advancement of one's ideas by constricting them to a certain form, and therefore destroying the chance of opposition. By controlling the range of thought through Newspeak's ever-diminishing vocabulary, people are unable to express themselves completely. Without the sufficient words to describe unorthodox thoughts, thoughts become impossible to be unorthodox. That is the ultimate goal of Newspeak. Newspeak enables doublethink and changing the past.
Brave New World vs. 1984 Argument Essay Julia Biederman Aldous Huxley’s dystopian vision of the future is an unusual one. Unlike many bleak depictions of life in the future, such as George Orwell’s 1984, Huxley’s vision lays the blame on people for becoming comfortable within their limitations instead of an oppressive, external force. It is much simpler to envision that the homogeny of the future will come from a source that is not controllable by average people than for the people to acknowledge that they are their own oppressors. As Postman writes, there was a sense of great relief when the totalitarian nightmare of 1984 did not come to pass, however people have not stopped to consider that is only because they have oppressed themselves. In a sense, everyone is his or her own Big Brother.
If exposed to violent TV for an extended amount of time, it may be able to desensitize anyone, especially if they come from an already broken home or bad neighborhood. To say that because of this desensitizing, everybody is to be more violent would not be accurate. Many who have broken the law or committed crimes against man don’t even have access to TV. People in bad neighborhoods or broken homes or schools are more prone to violence because of what they see around them,
People being labelled in groups is so inhumane. This book takes us on a journey on how a simple act of cruelty can be taken to a whole new level. This book also contains many uses of euphemism, this is mainly used by the Alice, who was the first person to ever subject Avalon to bullying. As the weeks commence, Avalon is assaulted by these obscene text messages, emails, blog posts etc. Avalon’s attitude to the bullying and cyber-bullying was not very delightful nor helpful.
(pg. 226-227) Winston is able to keep his sanity only for a short moment until O’Brien claims to have written part of The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism and that the book is just another tool the Party uses to keep Oceania under control. Winston never finds out if Emmanuel Goldstein is an actual person but he still held onto to the idea that there is a brotherhood somewhere in Oceania. If The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism was written by the Party it is among the many tactics the government uses to control its citizens. The Party manipulates language and creates newspeak, doublethink, uses technology to make citizens fearful of having thoughts opposite of the Party, and completely destroys any literature documenting the past.
He is extremely anti-technology and he makes that clear through his multiple examples of technology replacing relationships and ultimately causing damage and even death. Although technology can be beneficial to us, it can also cause serious harm if overused and not regulated properly. Just like anything else, there’s a certain limit to everything, and past that limit is where chaos
Because of the fear of privacy invasion, the different federal agency databases were held on individual agency specific computer systems and were not accessible to anyone, but the owner. Having such a compartmentalized system did not give law enforcement nor intelligence the ability to assist each other in putting together potentially complex terror plots, and often the more sophisticated the terror plot, the more potential for mass killing (White, 2006). Communication is key in all parts of life, and especially important when dealing with such dire consequences. The USA PATRIOT Act, in Title VII, granted the expansion of information sharing systems in order to better facilitate communication between all agencies involved in counterterrorism. This called for the implementation of the Regional Information Sharing System (RISS) as a central database for all law enforcement to use (USA PATRIOT Act, 2001).
A Not So Exceptional Exceptionalism: Why Our Myth of Exceptionalism Is Harmful to American in the New Globalized World (From 2000 to 2012) American exceptionalism is nothing new; it has influenced our foreign policy as far back as Manifest Destiny, it has become a must-have accessory for presidential-candidates, and it has inspired eloquent speeches throughout our nation’s history. Thus, American exceptionalism has become ingrained into the American psyche— it has become a part of American culture and what it means to be an American. Most people who grew up in the United States can remember hearing at least once in their lives “well, America is a free country”, as if this were something that somehow made us unique. And for the most
