What is 1984?

George Orwell's 1984 is one of the most frequently studied novels in literature courses at the secondary and undergraduate level. The novel presents a totalitarian society ruled by the Party and watched over by the figure of Big Brother, making it a rich text for exploring themes of power, government control, and the manipulation of truth. Its sustained relevance to political science, philosophy, and cultural studies means students encounter it across disciplines, not only in English courses. The novel's depictions of surveillance, propaganda, and the suppression of individual thought give it an analytical depth that rewards close reading and theoretical engagement.

The archived papers on this topic reflect several distinct approaches. Some focus on historical context, situating Orwell's vision within the political climate that shaped the novel's composition. Others pursue thematic analysis, with particular attention to the mutability of history and how the Party uses control over the past to consolidate power in the present. A number of papers engage more broadly with Orwell's ideas about society and government, offering reflective or critical responses to the novel's central arguments.

A strong essay on 1984 requires a focused thesis that moves beyond plot summary toward an argument about how the novel's mechanisms of power operate and what they reveal. Textual evidence drawn directly from Orwell's language and narrative choices carries the most analytical weight. One common pitfall is treating the novel's themes as self-evident rather than demonstrating them through careful close reading and specific examples.

Iso-electric point of iron hydroxide impregnated aluminosilicate geopolymers

Iron hydroxide impregnated aluminosilicate based geopolymers (Fe-ASG) is a novel water treatment media currently under development for simultaneous removal of arsenic and inorganic contaminants. The goal of this study was to determine whether varied iron contents impregnated aluminosilicate impacts the surface charge in different pH conditions. The study tests for media types of virgin and iron impregnated ASG diluted in potassium nitrate (KNO3) for charge dispersion. pH of the sample was gradually adjusted using potassium hydroxide (KOH) and nitric acid (HNO3). Results demonstrated no significant relationship between iron content impregnated ASG and iso electric point, which suggests that surface area properties impacts the relationship.

The ethics of compensating organ donors: arguments for and against

Barry Jacobs is an example of an international broker for bodily parts whose business involves matching up kidney "donors" with patients needing kidney transplants. The donor receives a magnanimous paycheck; the recipient receives a healthy kidney, and Jacobs, himself, profits by business in worse ways (Chapman, 1984). Jacobs and other advocates of organ-selling see this business as filling a necessary void. Approximately, 100,000 organ transplants are needed per annum, and only an annual 10,000 are performed due to the deficiency of matching organs. Biomedical breakthroughs have increased the success of these operations, but the procedures cannot always be accomplished due to depletion of stocks. People are simply not willing to donate their organs, resulting in the proposal that non-vital organs be sold in order to make up for the deficiency. The following essay argues the ethical issues of this contention.

Video-observations and reflection for instructional change in early childhood

This research highlights four teachers who work in early childhood classrooms who have chosen to implement the use of video-observations of their teaching in conjunction with the reflective process. Each teacher profile will include discussions and interviews about their teaching and change implementation. The ideas for change will be based upon their own knowledge, skills, and dispositions along with evidence from the recorded and observed videotapes. After viewing their own instruction, practitioners began the process of implementing change for individual students as well as for their class overall. Teachers shared this experience with others in their school and provided information regarding their results based on the following three areas: 1) Analysis: individuals and or groups in the process of reflection (grade level teams); 2) Strategies: offers other teachers and or programs ways to introduce concepts to a group of teachers and or school; and, 3) Images & Ideas in Practice: offers ways that this can be replicated to help other programs to begin using videos and reflection as a way to guide instructional change.
