(OD-4): Literature and Politics: Dystopic Novels: BNW and 1984

THOUGHT CRIME DOES NOT ENTALL DEATH                                   THOUGHT CRIME IS DEATH” (PG: 27, CH.2 1984 George Orwell ) The post-truth era certainly shares aspects of the dystopian world of Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four. Michael Gove’s infamous comment that   Britain has had enough of experts   is just one step away from 2+2 = 5. In the interrogation scene in 1984 this is the most appalling moment: before now we read it as a ludicrous indictment of the rejection of reality (surely, we conclude, the party itself must know that 2+2 = 4; science, machines all depend on it). In Nineteen Eighty-Four, the elite, personified by O’Brien, foster and control this willingness to believe one thing one day, and one thing another. Now, it seems, the party itself may believe the lie. As Orwell writes: “Scien...

OD3 -Education System: School in Forest

Forest school is a type of  outdoor education  in which children (or adults) visit forests/woodlands, learning personal, social and technical skills. It has been defined as "an inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a woodland environment". Forest school is both a  pedagogy  and a physical entity, with the use often being interchanged. The plural "schools" is often used when referring to a number of groups or sessions. But now a day’s our education system is not properly work for students purpose but work for money it’s like huge business .so our education system is also class based that real picture is shown in this image given here .we have to do Our education system is judging students not by their own ability but they compare one student with others. Other thing here we find that we human beings have that ability to...

Online Discussion 2: Post-truth: Word of the year 2016

Post-truth politics (also called post-factual politics) is a  political culture  in which debate is framed largely by  appeals to emotion  disconnected from the details of  policy , and by the repeated assertion of  talking points  to which factual rebuttals are ignored.  Post-truth  differs from traditional contesting and falsifying of  truth  by rendering it of "secondary" importance. While this has been described as a contemporary problem, there is a possibility that it has long been a part of political life, but was less notable before the advent of the Internet. In the novel  Nineteen Eighty-Four ,  George Orwell  cast a world in which the state changes historic records daily to fit its  propaganda  goals of the day. Amulya Gopalakrishnan, columnist for  The Times of India , identified similarities between the Trump and Brexit campaigns on the one hand, and  hot-button issues ...

OD1: Atheism and Morality

"Atheist also have a definite Moral Code" Atheist means a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods .that’s not mean that the person have not moral code. like if you are police officer some time you have to atheist for your but that not means they have not god or prayer to god  Arguments for atheism range from the philosophical to social and historical approaches. Rationales for not believing in deities include arguments that there is a lack of  empirical evidence , the  problem of evil ; the  argument from inconsistent revelations , the rejection of concepts that cannot  be falsified , and the  argument from nonbeliever . Although some atheists have adopted  secular  philosophies (e.g.  secular humanism ) there is no one ideology or set of behaviors to which all atheists adhere. Atheism is a more  parsimonious  position than theism and is the position in which everyone is born; therefor...

Webquest: Harry Potter: Think and Write

·        Children’s Literature and Harry Potter: How far does J K Rowling transcends the canonical confines of children’s literature and claims the heights of ‘real’ literature? Yes we can read Harry Potter series as children’s literature, especially written for pleasure and entertainment. No doubt it has quality and content that we can judge it as children’s literature. It is highly imaginative, full of fancy, not so simple but straight forward moving story (journey from birth to adulthood of Harry). There are children as character and even Harry is our hero in the narrative, they are the doer of action. Most important thing is that when we are child and for entertainment we read novel it’s a great pleasure but when we grown up and a mature as we can think about harry potter novel so we find that it’s look like our life story .we connect our life from birth to present situation and also death. Though it is the story of a child’s journey from birt...

The Da Vinci Code

The key to the novel’s plot is that many in the church knew that Jesus was married and to protect his late emerging divinity they conspired not to let that become known, even to the point of murder. Now as fiction, this makes an intriguing story, but what about as a historical skeleton that lays claim to being almost quasi-non-fiction? There are three major problems in the book we shall look at before making an observation about the nature of our times that such a book can garner such numbers and such a response. Three Major Problems Plus Problem 1: Was Jesus Married? Basic to the story line is the claim that Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene and that many in the church knew (as did people like Leonardo Da Vinci later on in history). The evidence for this claim comes from two extra biblical gospels, the Gospel of Mary Magdalene 17:10–18:21 and The Gospel of Philip 63:33-36. Both contain remarks that Jesus had a special relationship to Mary...

The White Tiger

1) How far do you agree with the India represented in the novel The White Tiger?                                                                                                                            not totally agree but somehow some of the point of novel shows real india  this kind of condition may not be in all the states of India. India itself is very large and full of diversity. at many extent, to me, it looks like novel is tale of 1970s India. Because while living in Gujrat we dont have seen the poor condition narrated in novel. But this kind of scene is common in Bihar. so from where it is said is also very important. its not about WHOLE india...

The Sense of an Ending: Julian Barnes

1) What is the meaning of phrase ‘Blood Money’ in Veronica’s reply email?     dictionary meaning of blood money Money paid in compensation to the family of someone who has been killed. But here in this text this word is signifying something symbolic . The phrase 'Blood Money' can have meanings like, relationship with Sarah caused Adrian's suicide. And her money is given to Tony. Their relationship damages young Adrian's life so it can be called Blood Money and Tony is cause of all damages so Veronica call his (given) money as 'Blood Money'  2)How do you decipher the equation: b = s – v x/+ a1 or a2 + v + a1 X s = b?  The equation Means b =baby or young Adrian, s = Sarah, V= Veronica, a= Adrian. b = s – v x/+ a1 means, Young Adrian, b is a result of Sarah's relationship with Adrian (x/+) with breaking relationship with Veronica(-). a2 + v + a1 X s = b? a2 means Anthony ( Adrian used to address Tony as Anthony) It says relationship of...

Chetan Bhagat: One night @ the Call Centre (2005) 1) I agree: “Bhagat has a talent for tapping into the zeitgeist; One side One Night at the Call Center throws lights on some of the burning issues of modern age.
