He was prepared to admit, that socialism offered faith, hope and dignity and that it meant more than state repression and anti-individualism.

Orwell Message In Animal Farm
1,500 wordsIn many of Orwell's works, we can see some marks from his real life or the events of his era. To understand the influences on his works we should look at his life beginning from his childhood. Orwell says that he was a lonely child and unpopular at school, and knew that he had a facility with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, which created a sort of private world where he could get his own back for his failure in everyday life. After reading Milton's Paradise Lost he decides what kin...

481 wordsQuestion: What were the historic events that led up to revolution, and why did you become involved in revolution? Lenin's answer: To answer this question we have to go way back in 1812, when Napoleon came to Russia.

Maybe when Plato wrote his Crito the process of the classical polity decay had gone far away and the appeals to come back were some kind of utopia.

Further explanation of the origin of state gave Italian scholar Nicolo Machiavelli (1469 1527). In his treatise The Prince Machiavelli tries to explain the origin of states. Fro...

A meeting was held in a hall in a Milan and was attended by some fifty malcontents. From this seemingly small and insignificant event the Fascist di Combattimento (Combat Group) was born.

3,564 wordsWestern liberal scholars have divided human history into three phases: the premodern, the modern and the post modern. Each phase has no definite end, rather they layer on top of each. For example, a thoroughly post modern society has elements of premodern and modern in it. There is no one exact time when the premodern ended and the modern began: each society reached them differently. Western Europe entered the modern era in the sixteen hundreds while the rest of the world was still premodern. Ev...
