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.

Earth Liberation Front: Eco-Terrorism, Arsons, and the FBI

There are many people and/or groups who claim responsibility for the Earth Liberation Front’s (ELF) development. The group is comprised of loosely affiliated or autonomous cells that are only bound by the idea that they can move beyond civil disobedience and accept more contentious tactics for the defense of their environmental causes. Many members of this group have been prosecuted as terrorists and are currently in special detention centers. The group and their actions undoubtedly fit the broad definition that the FBI provides for terrorism. The two factors in the terrorism definition that are the most important and the group fits is that it performed dangerous acts with the intent to intimidate others. Although no one has been harmed in an ELF action, it cannot be denied that many of the arsons have been dangerous.

False Identification and Biased vs. Unbiased Lineup Instructions

This evidence needs to be processed and analyzed methodologically way to ensure that the witness is in fact identifying the right person.

Thomas Jefferson's Hypocrisy: Slavery and Double Standards

Abstract Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, has been largely accused of double standards and hypocrisy. These accusations have largely been based upon the Declaration of Independence, to which he was co-author, and his later stand as depicted in the script Notes in the State of Virginia. A number of his proponents have, however, come to his defense. This text examines a number of Jefferson's controversial actions, and gives a personal stand as to whether or not he has been rightly accused. Additionally, it reviews the various defenses that have been put forward, and their bases.
