Montag grows increasingly dissatisfied with his life and starts to wonder if perhaps books aren’t so bad. He relies on an old ex-professor named Faber that agrees to work with Montag against the government. Faber says at one point, “Those who don’t build, burn.” What Faber is saying is similar to an old saying- "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." This basically means that people who aren't willing to help or contribute to a group or a society are the ones more likely to make it worse or bring it down, which is what the whole society is doing, for instance the many superficial relationships in the novel, and other real life examples. The novel has numerous examples of superficial relationships, which goes along with what Faber said.

Therefore he must try to do it in a way that is subtle, indirect and manipulative. He might feel weak, powerless and inferior to the person he is communicating with and act on these emotions by trying to sabotage and disrupt a situation while attempting to appear cooperative and pleasant. The health care team consists of many individuals with varying levels of education and experience. Rashad was simply stating what he believed was part of his job duties.
Orwell illustrates his true identity by using internal oscillation illuminating his natural morals, but ignoring and substituting them for those of the arbitrating community, soon realizing he has become overpowered by his mask.

Similar to Orwell, after donning the mask for a protracted period of time the mask binds itself, overriding her individuality. Through her experiment, she is able to associate that monetary value is analogous to personal value. Masks can be either beneficial or detrimental; Orwell conceals his true self, failing to withhold conformity, proving
The film V for Vendetta directed by Jimmy McTeigue presents a negative view of society and humanity; he portrays society as being repressive, cruel and creates a feeling of discontent. This is done through setting, using techniques such as lighting, dialogue, propaganda and technology. As a result the audience feels trapped by the unpleasant world of V for Vendetta and thus this creates a negative view on society. McTeigue has subtly used lighting as a technique to create a feeling of oppressiveness and establish the power that the party exerts on the public. In the scene where we witness Sutler addressing the party leaders after V has destroyed the Old Bailey, we are confronted with just the lit up faces of the leaders and darkness in the background.

Peter is more focused on completing the tasks more than satisfying his employees. Peter’s leadership style can also be described as coercive, do what I tell you, style. He demands his employees to do what he tells them to do. According to Handy’s ‘trust-control dilemma’, those who use autocratic style are assumed to have little trust in their employees and as a result, control them more (Organisations and Behaviour, 2010, p.178). Peter might also be under the influence of Theory X where he assumes that every employee does not like work and will avoid doing anything unless they are pushed, controlled and coerced.
