In this essay I will be exploring how the dystopian society in Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 film adaptation of Anthony Burgess’ 1963 novel, A Clockwork Orange has been used to explore contemporary anxieties. A Clockwork Orange takes place in an outlandish and dreary vision of future Britain governed by an oppressive, totalitarian super government. In this society, ordinary people have fallen into a dazed state of complacency, unaware of the sinister growth of a rampant, violent youth culture. Anthony

Milgram’s Experiment Marlene Reyes University of Phoenix PSYCH/620 May 4, 2015 Dr. Alice D. Akins Introduction Stanley Milgram wanted to do a study on the obedience to an authority figure, and the obedience is a situationist experiment that evidences what happened the real life (Badhwar, 2009). Milgram’s idea was the Holocaust situation and the Nazis who had the authority over European Jews, during World War II, when the Nazi killed thousands of people because they had power, as well as how

relationship between the characters, Blanche and Stanley. Both works describe an unhealthy relationship between two people, foreshadow an event that leads to insanity, and provide detailed information that can be applied to both characters. A Streetcar Named Desire and “Blank Space” are similar because they both describe an unhealthy relationship. In the case of A Streetcar Named Desire, this would be the relationship between Blanche DuBois and Stanley Kowalski. Blanche is Stanley’s sister-in-law, who

Justin Pepe Mrs. Hooper English 12R1 16 April 2015 The Horror Of Isolation: In Stephen King’s classic 1977 horror novel, The Shining, the Torrance family’s limits are tested as they are sent to the Overlook Hotel and face the brink of isolation. Jack, Wendy and Danny all start to break down from the isolation in their own individual ways. Eventually, similar to other works of literature written by Stephen King, the Torrances reach a breaking point. Though the three of them all go through different

Ryan Wadzinski Clockwork Orange A clockwork orange is an adaptation of Anthony Burgess novel of the same name, it’s also probably Kubrick’s most faithful adaptation. This may be because a screenplay was never actually written. Instead, Kubrick worked it out as he went along, working directly from the book as he did. The thing about Kubrick that drew me to want to explore this movie so just how bizarre and deprived it is, but yet the all of its wild and crazy parts are able to come together to

Jacob Taylor Professor Kimberly O’Brien PSYC 1101 29 October 2014 Ethics In Psychology In Psychology, ethics is defined as “a branch of philosophy that deals with thinking about morality, moral problems, and judgements of proper conduct” (Frankena 1973), and is among the most important concepts to have a strong understanding of as a researcher. Though easy to overlook, the consequences of an experiment that does not consider moral implications can be severe not only for the participants and researchers

Obey at Any Cost?- Research Study 1. The researcher in this experiment was psychologist, Stanley Milgram. The study took place at Yale University in the year 1963. The researcher’s hypothesis was that if there is a demanding authoritive figure, then the other person will obey that authoritive figure just because of their position, even if it violates their morality and their ethical beliefs. He based this of his theory that people who would never hurt someone purposely, would if told to do so by

human nature and the thought process behind our actions. Although these experiments have given us a great deal of insight into the human mind, many of them have been surrounded by a lot of controversy. An American man named Stanley Milgram conducted one of such experiments. Stanley Milgram was born in New York City on August 15th, 1933 to a family of Jewish immigrants. He attended James Monroe High School, with another famous future psychologist, Philip Zimbardo. Reportedly, Milgram was a determined

Oscar Madera Dr. Amaya-Anderson ENGL 103 8 May 2016 Dissecting Gender Roles in A Streetcar Named Desire The representation of gender roles is among the most prominent recurring subjects in theatre, literature and expressive art as we know it. Gender, and what it means to human beings, is a subject that is as difficult to precisely define as death, race, and the concept of existence. Anne Beall, Ph.D. graduate in Social Psychology at Yale University, details in her book The Psychology of Gender that

Firstly, The Shining provides a pessimistic outlook of the dichotomous relationship between belief and knowledge in relation to deontology. As Malory Nye details, Robert Tonkinson observes a clear divide between religiosity and belief. What an external observer may classify as a “belief” may be “commonsensical” to a religious follower (Nye 2008, 122). As a result, religious belief can become “an explanation in itself” (Nye 2008, 117). In The Shining, Jack and Wendy represent opposing points of view
