He is unaware that it is his free will that is longing to escape. While he is wise not to ignore his inner yearnings, he is oblivious on how to obtain his freedom. All he knows is that he is lost and he must find a way to himself. This is a personality trait that every human being is born with and when it becomes endangered the human instinct is to resist.
Resistance is not always easy as Orwell demonstrates in his novel. Winston and others in the novel are met at all sides to conform but it is not so easy, as Winston illustrates. The yearning of human nature is compounded with images of Thought Police, another intrusive presence that makes life unbearable. Winston tells us, "At home and in bed in the darkness you were safe from the telescreen so long as you kept silent" (96-7). Again, we are faced with a lack of individuality that is essential for a fulfilling human experience. Winston's personal journal exposes his need for individuality. Through his sadness, we see that what is most personal to humanity - our own nervous system and emotions - is used against him in a society that is bent on killing the autonomy he desires....
However, his struggle is made that much more difficult because of his innate desires. The novel serves as a warning for those that think otherwise.
1984 introduces us to many ideas and considerations. One of the most predominant themes is the need for individuality and how that yearning is born into every individual. Winston is just one man but he represents all of the men who would rather fight than give in to a so-called utopia. His innate instinct is that what the government is doing is wrong and he is willing to fight to prove that point. Even after endless torture, he does not want to bow down to or love Big Brother. His instinct will not allow him to do so and this is the instinct with which all human beings are born. Because Winston yields at the end of the novel reinforces the individuality that Orwell believes in. There is no way that humanity can belong to a government and be happy and 1984 illustrates this point down to the last page when Winston utters his fatal words.

Human Service Professional Assessment As a formal discipline, human services is a term which has emerged within the past several years. However, the various functions and services involved with this term have been practiced for a significant amount of time. It was in initially understanding the social efforts required of human services that I first became attracted to this profession. In my esteem, human services is the most viable means of
Adding conflict and competition to that precarious situation can be difficult, but is an important part of workplace group dynamics. However, conflict and competition can be both positive and negative components within a group dynamic situation. Jehn and Mannix (2001) discuss intragroup conflict and performance in their Academy of Management article, finding consistent results that implied the important nature of some conflict within workplace groups. The researchers found that
Globus pallidusinterna (GPI) of the patient was treated through DBS. The internal pulse generators (IPG) helped stimulate the inner cognition area of patient's brain. Since the study employed Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) for assessing the results after intervention, lateral assessment indicated that 84%improvement in YGTSS was observed by the researchers. Thus, DBS as an effective intervention treatment is corroborated by two results of two independent research studies. Many
The Revolutions of both France and Russia had many waves and stages. In France, the election and then disappointment of the third estate led to actual bloody revolution and then a series of regimes including the infamous Napoleonic leadership. Russia endured several waves of revolution, too, beginning notably with the failed revolution of 1905. In his famous work The History of the Russian Revolution, Leon Trotsky discussed the nature of
True Meaning of Snow David Guterson is the young, American author of Snow Falling on Cedars which heavily consists of human nature and human emotions. Snow Falling on Cedars, narrates the trial of a Japanese man accused of murdering a white man in the post-World War II era. Throughout this literary work, Guterson uses elements of nature: land, trees, water and especially snow, as literal and metaphorical tools to develop
Biological Anthropology: Statement of Personal Identity One trajectory of my research is how violence manifests in extreme circumstances and how that violence wages physical and mental anguish on both the perpetrators and the victims. For instance, violence commonly breaks out in refugee camps and much of that violence is gender-based. Examining the phenomenon of gender-based violence against women, which most often manifests through the form of rape, helps to better shed
