Numerous controversial ideas have played profound stepping stones in societies climb to try and create the perfect society. The vision of a perfect world through self sacrifice was exploited by the government in the novels 1984, by George Orwell and Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. These books portray the atmosphere of that perfect world through government control. In each novel a single character is outcaste because of his refusal to conform. This refusal leads the characters to an ultimate conflict with an individual closely related to the government.
Huck completely now views Jim as more than just property, but as a person. Twains big idea was the fact that society can change but only if we want to change and we educate ourselves. Educating people is the way to break the chain and everyone to individually fall from the pack and be their own person, much like Huckleberry Finn did. Twain notices that society is corrupt and that we should each do what is right individually because it’s human nature to not kill other humans. Society is corrupted by greed and power and if every person were to take a stand and think for themselves the world would be a better
In Anthem, the World Council has even found a way to make its citizens be reminded every day about the importance of their obedience. Every night, every one has to repeat “We are nothing. Mankind is all” before they go to sleep. Equality 7-2521, although he lives in an extremely strict City, refuses let go of his sense of individuality, and he’s not the only one. Ayn Rand gives several characters that have not yet been broken by the pressure of their peers.
The production of federal agencies to control every aspect of the political and economic life of citizens and individual states was seen as an aggressive step to control the state and citizen under the might of the Federal Government. The public was very concerned of the socialistic steps taken by the Federal Government to regulate business and state government (Document B). Besides regulation, the government was given power to negotiate the issues between the labor and management in businesses. This first step towards a nationalized economy is expressed shows that the Federal government had overstepped its constitutional boundaries (Document F and G).

They are part of the story in a new text entitled The Second Red Scare: the unmaking of the New Deal Left, by Landon Storrs. Storrs major primary source is the loyalty program implemented on federal employees in an effort to weed out Communists in the government. She examines how this program was actually used to silence many of the early new dealers and to discredit their policies that were used to establish the welfare state, to safeguard and strengthen the economy under capitalism and to end economic inequality. And also as in the case of the project, Many are the crimes, to destroy the
Big Brother has two classes of society, Proles and Party Members, in which they both must follow certain guidelines of life, and doing otherwise has people look at you oddly. Big Brother uses Telescreens to monitor everyone in society, has undercover Thought Police watching everywhere, and has trained citizens, even family, to turn on one another if signs of treason appear. Big Brother also attempts to “cure” its people and make them love Big Brother, before assassinating them. In many ways Equilibrium and 1984 have the indestructible totalitarian governments, and would never have fallen. The two governments in these stories are very similar in ways they controlled the people and eliminated resistance.
This was obviously his main motive for all the murders and to justify all of his actions he uses the throne. He feels he needs it. At first he borrows Lady Macbeth's emotions but in the end they become his emotions. All he does in the whole novel are govern by passion and passion is one of the scariest things there are.

Luckily the Crusaders were the solution to this. According to Jonathan Phillips, “Sin was ubiquitous in everyday life and the images of fire and torture so frequently depicted on the churches reinforced the fear of eternal damnation. The need for all people—whether rich or poor—to atone for their actions helps to explain the level of enthusiasm for the Crusaders’ determination to fulfill their vows…” (Phillips, Jonathan). This shows that all classes went to the Crusades in order to obtain forgiveness for their sins. The Church even showed how bad it is to commit sinful acts by reinforcing the fear of eternal damnation.
Thomas Hobbs’ philosophy was that the people were wicked and evil, so they needed to give all of their power to a ruler for the exchange of protection, this was know as the social contract. However, John Lock believed that people could learn for experience and improve themselves by making mistakes and learning from them. Lock also believed that all people are born free and equal and that people themselves should have the power to govern their own country. This philosophy quickly spread through out the colonies and created a dispute between the Britain monarchy and the American colonies because by its very own nature, republicanism was opposed to hierarchical and authoritarian institutions such as aristocracy and monarchy. In addition, what created a political dispute between America and Britain were the ideas of the ‘radical wigs’.
