1984 Propaganda Poster
Propaganda in 1984
Propaganda is a word used when a person or a group of people induces fear into others’ whether that is through spreading false information or disingenuous actions. Propaganda usually is related to a particularly political nature and is meant to be misleading. In the famous novel 1984, the inner party uses propaganda to control the average person. They send rocket bombs into the neighborhoods of the lower-class wounding many and killing even more. They social elite also create fake armies to scare citizens into rallying against the common people. In the world of 1984, there is a man nicknamed Big Brother who is at the top of this social hierarchy. He is effectively the dictator of his land and decides what to do and when to do it. Big brother sets up events such as hate week to inspire hate to fuel his nation. 1984 is an example of what could have happened and how propaganda can influence people to do horrible things.

1984 Politics
1984 politics is extremely interesting because it shows you what could have been if the world went in a slightly different direction and how different world power would be placed on the political spectrum. The political spectrum is a spectrum which can help you understand different political ideals by using a graph and weather a party is left, right, authoritarian or libertarian. The difference between the left and the right can be oversimplified to show that the left in a government is more likely to support people and have equality for everyone but have higher taxes to pay for all the benefits people get. whereas the right would usually support people making money by themselves and giving no handouts but with less taxes for people and businesses. Another measure used to convey where a government sits on the political spectrum is authoritarian and libertarian. authoritarianism is the y axis on the graph or is at the top and is a government where an authority or a dictator is in complete control, quite like 1984. Libertarianism is on the bottom of the spectrum and is a society with ultimate freedom, little to no rules but is nothing like Ingsoc. I am quite confidently claiming that the 1984 English Socialist Party is a middle-left authoritarian government.
Why George Orwell wrote the novel “1984”
Winston Smith (Main character in 1984)
Orwell authored the famous novel 1984 because he was frightened of the future and wanted to warn humans of what could happen in the future and in this case, by the year 1984. Orwell saw the dictatorship that was occurring while fighting in WWII and was convinced that the future would be dark if this continued. Orwell was a Socialist and wrote this novel as a political criticism against Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. The main character, Winston Smith realizes the pain in his society and is fighting against it and trying to rebel.
Spoken Word – “Problems with the Qatar World Cup”
Hello and welcome to my assignment. you may notice I have two videos; they are actually the same video, but one is exported straight from Filmora and has a disgusting watermark whereas the other video is recording from Filmora using a third-party system but because my laptop is not the strongest, it does lag and jitter. I hope my efforts do not go unnoticed, thank you.

Local Hunter changing the world from a simple mistake
By London Brown
Local man, Jason Eckels was hunting prehistoric dinosaurs in Mexico around two million years ago when he made a big mistake that changed the world forever, this happened last week on October 21st of 2055.
Picture of the time machine used
Eckels was out in the middle of hunting the massive T-rex when he lost his cool eventually stepping off the futuristic path made specifically for these hunts, the simple event of squishing a butterfly ended at his demise when it altered the world as we know it.

The butterfly effect
Another member of the hunt named Ethan Billings, said that in this alternate universe, another man won the presidential election, “Before we left a man named Duncan Keith won the election and the language was different”.
Eckels had a Safari leader named Tyler Travis who murdered Eckels after realizing he changed the world and doomed Mr. Travis and his business.
Mr. Travis has since been detained as is awaiting trial in prison for this horrible action, the family was outraged after hearing about the murder and had strong words for the safari leader.

Pinetree Maximum security prison (where Travis is being held)
We can only send our condolences to the families and hope nothing like this will never happen again.
According to research, Illegal hunting rates worldwide are going up and with 100,000 killed last year, it is increasing year by year. This article highlights the urgency of illegal hunting and how it need to end. With the depleting number of fish in stocks, a good possibility on why the illegal hunting rate is increasing is because people need to take more desperate measures because of our ocean and how marine wildlife is decreasing.
