Ideology has a strong presence in all films. There is a constant underlying idea that a filmmaker is consciously or unconsciously applying to their films. We can define ideology as a system of ideas that cohesively form a central belief. Some movies assert the dominant mindset of the era, like to pro-Reaganism and militarism ideologies in Tony Scott’s Top Gun (1986).

The President has provoked citizens to discriminate against other racial groups by expressing his personal opinions; although they are platforms of free speech, Trump […]

It set the stage for what a modern war would be like in the early 1900s, not only this but, it also set the stage for how all future wars would be fought in the 20th century. Through this though, we learned how not to treat the losers of a war since some historians believe that ultimately the Treaty of Versailles caused the rise of […]
Sinclair’s book, The Jungle, probably had the most to do with the fact that he himself was a socialist. He was brought up in Baltimore, and his family was considerately poor. His father was not very successful at his job, and for this reason, it seems reasonable to believe he became a socialist because, in communist countries, it is said that all people are treated equally. An opposite of this book would be “Animal Farm,” which Sinclair has probably never […]
The systematic deterioration of language as a medium of truth, e.g. “War is peace,” “freedom is slavery.” Why do the people in the novel accept these so-called truths? How are they used as tools to manipulate opinion and reinforce the total dominance of the state? Can you find examples in our own day of the corruption of language as a dependable reflection of reality? There seems to be a certain benchmark in the construction of the regime in Orwell’s Nineteen-Eighty-Four […]

Children’s books are a remarkable site of play, entertainment, and development. Hancock theorizes children’s literature as ‘literature that appeals to the interests, needs, and reading preferences of children and captivates children as its major audience’ (5). Mostly children’s literature, not entirely, involves adults’ character; indeed, children’s literature portrays children as the way adults typically think of them. Besides, children’s literature hardly is written and illustrated by children. Adults’ idea of child/childhood is likely to produce children’s books. To this end, […]

At its most superficial level, renowned author Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis is a story about a traveling salesman who, overnight, metamorphoses into a vermin; how he must continue on with life, and the effects his change has on his family. But, delving deeper, it is obvious that the author is commenting on the perilous inflated standard money is held to in a capitalist system and how it affects humans’ personal relationships. Kafka uses the protagonist’s, Gregor’s, crumbling relationship with his […]

I think a Social Democratic system will reduce the level of class division and make the American Dream possible by first establishing the basic values of people. Poverty has always been an issue and many people lack the money to […]

While looking into the racial and divided day to days in this “horrible and racist America,” discrimination runs prevalent in all manners of life. It seems that a large portion that is affected by the existence of white nationalism, is the act of theft, beyond the stealing of tangible items. That is correct, with the existence and heavy handedness in art, music, clothing styles, artistic liberties, and literature, cultural appropriation plagues the basis of artistic cultural integration and spreading of […]

China’s image as a whole has transitioned from a place of exoticism to being a global contender. From cinema to even literature China’s image was slowly molded into an exotic object built on oriental ideals. It was looked upon with wonder and desire for something different, and not so western. However, China has managed to adjust its image. To understand these images, we must understand the concept of Orientalism, beginning with the word Orient itself. The “Orient” often referred to […]
The major political ideologies through which we as Americans adhere to are conservatism, liberalism, libertarianism, and social democracy and the one I personally abide by is that of conservatism. Conservatism is founded on Christian religious beliefs and fundamental moral and ethical values, as well as traditional family values as attempts to maintain social order, support individual freedoms and keep our government’s role as unobtrusive as possible. While I am not a hard-core Conservative, many of my beliefs, life decisions, view […]
