dystopian world full of ignorance‚ domination‚ betrayal and most importantly‚ control. In the book Fahrenheit 451‚ we learn few people oppose the government’s regime. This is because it is considered a serious crime‚ especially since the government has implausible power and control over the population. The government exerts its control over the population in a number of ways. One of the ways the government applies its control is by keeping the people ignorant. The government makes sure the people are

city of Hiroshima‚ Japan in 1945 of August 6. This devastating bomb killed around 135‚00. There was also a second bomb that hit Nagasaki on August 9th that killed approximately 50‚000. But the question remained was this necessary? In my opinion YES! Dropping the bomb was very necessary‚ it was also reasonable considering the fact that US lost a total of more than 418‚000 both military and innocent civilians. I also think Japan deserved to be bombed because they committed the same act at Pearl Harbor

the pattern of population change in the UK? There are many different components that all add together for the reason why population does change in a specific location. This change is considered ‘dynamic’ as it is constantly changing due to many factors that are always effecting the rate of population change.

Tourism is one of the main ways by which the small countries‚ such as Malta‚ earn money and find enough work for the population living. But it may also cause harm to the country by polluting not only the physical but also the culture environment. Malta had saved its culture and traditions not only in old monuments but also in almost every house on the island. The styles of building has remained the same from many years ago‚ the closed windows from the outside‚ the rectangular balconies and the

The Constitution is a very significant document because it lays out the basic structure and outlines of a rather respectable and effective democratic government. Furthermore‚ having unalienable rights is necessary for any society to thrive. On top of that‚ the government must exist for the lone purpose of protecting these rights and nothing more.

Absolutism: one rule with total power controls peoples’ lives. To some‚ this may sound like a gift. Who wouldn’t want to maintain complete control? However‚ absolutism is not a gift‚ but a curse. A dream becomes a living nightmare. Every citizen is deprived of their freedom. They are practically slaves to the government. If the rights of humans fail to appeal to you‚ think of King Louis XIV‚ former ruler of France. Louis lived large‚ but with that came extreme debt & the later downfall of France
