JIAMAE: What year do you think this story is taking place? It seems so far in the future because of what they are doing to create humans. They said the World State motto was about Community, Identity, Stability and all that and it says it takes place in the Central London Hatchery, so how many years do you think has passed for it to come to this kind of world. On page 32 in Chapter 3 the Director said "For a very long period before the time of Our Ford, and even for some generations afterwards, erotic play between children had been regarded as abnormal... immoral." It must be decently far in the future because for erotic play to be normal with children is very uncommon and looked down upon in our society now even though the age when people …show more content…
And for those huge languages to fall out of place in society must have taken hundreds of years. Also the entire world has become very like… united. I agree that the whole sexual thing is pretty odd, and it really must have been shocking to read this book back in the days when it was written when it was even less common. The promiscuous ideas it portraits in the texts is disturbing even today. I was also wondering what Ford was, it seems pretty important to …show more content…
But why Ford out of all things. Right now nothing links to that except for the car company. Is it supposed to reflect how the Ford Company started the entire industry to even start producing cars, and how now they are starting to produce humans? I'm not quite sure what Ford is really representing but it is something along the lines of a role model type person I'm guessing. Anyways, it was such a surprise to see someone who didn't think like the rest of the characters in the book (Bernard). Especially how he isn't like brainwashed into what the World State wants him to think. They are creating over like 10,000 identical humans from the same woman. Like that completely demolishes any kind of individual thoughts. But I also think that later in the book somebody who doesn't agree with what is going on right now in their world is going to do something to change it. Bernard disagreed with what their society decided was moral so maybe he is going to protest or go on a big, "brave" adventure to change this "new world" Back to the creating over 10,000 identical humans, are they only doing this in London where this story takes place or all around the world. Isn't the world already overpopulated right now and aren't people predicting it will be even more populated? Why are they producing so many humans so
The case of Ford V. Wainwright is a Supreme court case of the United Stated argued in 1986. Alvin Bernard Ford is the plaintiff in this case, In 1974 he was convicted of murder in Florida and sentenced to death. In 1982 Ford began to show signs of a serious mental disorder. The Governor of Florida then appointed a panel of three psychiatrist to determine if Ford was component to understand the nature of the death penalty and the crime he had committed. All three psychiatrist disagreed on his exact diagnosis but agreed that he was sane and knew the nature of the death penalty. Ford’s attorney unsuccessfully sought a hearing in the state court for determination of his competency and then filed a hebeas corpus petition, which is a writ requiring a person to be brought before a judge or court especially for investigation of a restraint of the person’s liberty. The Florida courts denied his petition and signed a death warrant for Ford in 1984. Ford then sued Louie L. Wainwright, the defendant, who at the time of the case was the Secretary of the Florida Division of Correction.
Henry Ford, founder of Ford motor company, is most well known as an icon of American manufacturing and ingenuity. A lesser known aspect of Ford’s history is his fascist leanings and blatant anti-Semitism. Ford ruled over Dearborn Michigan as a de facto dictator, employing fascist tactics to control his workforce. His anti-Semitic writings influenced Adolf Hitler, who expressed admiration for the famed automobile industrialist. Ford’s company was instrumental in supplying the German military with vehicles during World War II even as they refused to assist the allies. Ford’s racist and corporatist views made him an idol of the National Socialists.
Gerald Ford was the 38th president of the United States of America. He became president right after Richard Nixon resigned in 1974. This was not an expected time to have a new president. Ford said, “I assume the Presidency under extraordinary circumstances … This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts (thewhitehouse.gov pg. 1).” While Ford had not planned to be a president, he still did great tasks, served 25 years in Congress, and he did his best.
The Man’s Truck In the last thirty-eight years, Ford has known how to target the audience they have for the F- series of trucks. After the new advertisement that Ford produced, it can be implied that they replicated their success again. With the first commercial being aired on television and online during the 2014 college football playoffs, Ford had a marketing strategy. It is apparent in almost all of the advertisements, including this one that Ford produced, is to showcase the newest and the best of the best F-Series of trucks and that they aim to get all the hard working American man.

The 1920’s was a time of great social, political, and economic change. The early automobile industry was no exclusion. It appears that throughout history, the figures that stand out the most are either worshipped or despised, and there is very rarely an in-between. Henry Ford, an icon of the 1920’s and the early automobile industry is no exemption. Many people love Ford for his innovative and entrepreneurial skills, while on the other hand, Ford is disliked by many due to his association with Anti-Semitism. Regardless of how Ford is viewed, many decisions he made significantly impacted the automobile industry. These decisions included installing the moving assembly line in his plant, and introducing the Five-Dollar Day. Through the implementation of the Five-Dollar Day, Ford was able to drastically change how the Ford Motor Company company operated, and how business would operate for years to come.
Huxley lived from 1894 to 1963 and A Brave New World was published in 1958. Through that time the culture of western society changed greatly, the world went from a Victorian era in which a woman showing her ankles or man in shirt sleeves was highly immodest to an era in which women walking around in bikini’s and men trouncing around in just their trousers was perfectly expectable. Sexuality went from a personal matter only discussed between family members of...
The year Abraham Lincoln was elected, I remember spending a grueling hard-working day in what seemed like endless fields, my body was aching and sore to the touch from the day's work of tending to my job as a cotton picker. I was lost in thought when an eager voice that belonged to my friend John grabbed my attention immediately, “Jacob, have you heard the news?” I say, “No, what are you on about boy..” He explained to me that a new president was to be elected soon. He had overheard the master speaking of it when he returned home from a long drive into town for supplies. We always become hopeful hearing news like this. Something about change coming always makes us think of the changes the new person could make.
“Brave New World” is a novel that was written in 1931 about the future. In the novel it is taken place at a Savage Reservation in New Mexico. The timing that this is written is 2540 A.D. referred to in the novel as 632 years “After Ford,” meaning 632 years after the production of the first Model T car. The point of view of the novel is in the third person, primarily from the point of view of Bernard or John but also from the point of view of Lenina, Helmholtz Watson, and Mustapha Mond. The theme of “Brave New World” is the use of technology to control society, the incompatibility of happiness and truth, the dangers of an all-powerful state. What is so crazy about this is that Aldous Huxley predicted the future quite well.
This book has great balances of love interests, actions, and internal conflict with characters. It has an interesting story so far with new pieces coming up every few chapters that are very important. Like Al attacking Tris, Eric talking about Divergents and how the rebels must be eliminated. Tris and Four are developing feelings for each other, which I find weird because he is basically her teacher. They are only two years apart, so the relationship is not that awkward. In this journal I will be predicting, evaluating, and questioning.

Henry Ford was one of the most famous people in the world. He revolutionized assembly line modes for the automobile, which revolutionized the auto industry for America. He invented the Ford model T car, in 1908, which was his first car he invented. Because of this reason, Ford sold and continues to sell millions of automobiles and became head of a world renowned and innovative auto company. His company didn't really dominate the foreign market, but it made a huge impact in technology and the development of the U.S infrastructure. Today, we look at the Ford company and see how much it has changed, and how much it has evolved. Ford is known for helping build the American economy
Historical facts are cleverly infused into the body of the novel that gives the reader an authentic and classic impression of the story. A clear view of the discrimination that existed in that time period against non-whites and women was evident by the time the conclusion of the book was reached. For instance, a conversation takes place between characters in the novel in which civilization is said to be going to pieces as a result of "The Rise of the Coloured Empires". Women are also constantly referred to as "girls".
Most forms of entertainment in Brave New World somehow relate to sex. For example the “feelies” are pornographic movies with a more advanced plot line and the tremendous bonus of experiencing the same things as the actors on the screen. The government actually encourages sex and promiscuity among its citizens; if a person is not promiscuous they are seen as outcasts. Sex is not a private matter and is openly practiced. To ensure that sex’s purpose is for entertainment the government makes only thirty percent of the female population fertile. This ensures that the population will not view sex as a form of reproduction because the majority is not capable of sexual reproduction. The more partners a person has the more popular the person is. Due to this a person is discouraged from having a long-term relationship with one person. If they have a long term relationship their loyalty to the government and Ford is in question, as evidenced early in the book when Fanny was scolding Lenine for not being with more men when she had the chance. “And you know how strongly the DHC objects to anything intense or long and drawn out. Four months of Henry Foster without having another man - why, he’d be furious if he knew,” (46). One night-stands are common and expected; the idea of marriage is practically nonexistent. Because it is common for the people of the World State to talk constantly about sex and are encouraged to have sex frequently, it is not seen as dirty, shameful or something to be discussed behind closed doors. From a young age children learn about sex and contraceptives. Children are forced to use contraceptives every time they have sex. They are encouraged to participate in sex play from a young age. Those who do not wish to participate are taken to a psychologist for an evaluation. Unfortunately, these actions are steadily becoming common in our own
This paper takes a look at the ways in which the ideas of Fordism and Taylorism helped the success of the U.S motor vehicle industry. The motor vehicle industry has changed the fundamental ideas on the process of manufacturing and probably more expressively on how humans work together to create value.
