The setting of this novel, 1984, by George Orwell, is set in London, Oceania, Airstrip one. Oceania is at war with Eurasia and Eastasia throughout the book. The author is trying to set the mood of this story as a dark and gloomy place with very little color, except for the Big Brother posters hung all the way through town. Everything is very plain until the middle of the book where there is more detail. Orwell sets the book in 1984, but wrote the story years before this date.
Numerous hypotheses hover around on why George Orwell chose the title of 1984 on his novel. Theories emerge saying the thought originated from his wife, others believe it came from adopting his son, Richard, possibly he was advised to title it 1984. Nobody has genuinely confirmed the purpose for it. Numerous hypotheses fair well however the one I associated most to and can expand on it was the theory spinning around his child and the future to come for his son Richard. At the point when the novel was solidly coming to firm shape, Richard was adopted by Orwell and his wife in 1944.
Another influential factor in substantiating the society or country to have totalitarian government is the brutal torture and violence exercised by the dominant leaders to their people. In North Korea, Kim Jong Il has created concentration camps with the purpose of isolating those people who stand against the politics from the society, where he commands the guards to torture, beat, and execute the prisoners. Any and all citizens who try to transgress and escape the country are subjected to be locked in the camps because Kim Jong Il considers their attempts to be an act of disloyalty to him. In this sense, the reason that the citizens or people are sent to the concentration camp in North Korea and to the prison in 1984 reveals to be very identical

George Orwell wrote his novel, 1984, in the 40’s around the time when World War II was coming to an end; he saw the effects and dangers of complete government control in Germany. Orwell understood what could happen if anyone (Hitler or someone like him) took command they would not give up control easily and that would create a society in which the people had no real control over what they did or thought. The people running a government with total control would only try to benefit themselves because that is human nature. It would become a vicious cycle between a struggle for power and additional compliance and ignorance. This type of society would be inflicted with a lack of wants, needs, and happiness.
1. One of the reasons I received the score of a five was that I did not directly address the question. In my introduction, I wrote, “In this book, Orwell also discussed the topic of governmental control and loss of passion in relationships through Winston’s affair with Julia, sexual oppression, and the disestablishment of the family,” as my thesis. However, I did not directly address a question that Orwell asks and answers throughout the book. Another reason I received a 5 was that I did not connect my thesis throughout the essay.

Human experimentation has been a “Bunsen-burner” debate topic since the dawn of medical experimentation. In today’s society, years of scientific data and studying are necessary before medical experiments can be brought to human trials, but that doesn’t stop it from being controversial. Whether or not human experimentation should be allowed is widely debated, some claiming it’s necessity to medical science and well-being of society, while others argue it takes advantage of the individual for a societal need that isn’t necessarily a right.
