Its New York headquarters located at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in  Rockefeller Center, name give is  GE Building  for the projecting GE logo on the roof NBCs headquarters. Main studios are also located in the building. GEs Ecomagination concept attempt worldwide recognition to keep front runner itself as a green company. In current global market GE is stands one of the biggest players in the wind power industry, but not only because of its technological innovative products but also development of product as a environment-friendly like hybrid locomotives. Desalination and water reuse solutions, and photovoltaic cells. The company has set goals for its subsidiary holding companies to decrease their greenhouse gas emissions. GE as Brand GE has got his fourth position of the most recognized brand in the world; worth almost $52 billion.GE.com heighten the value of the brand by the ownership. A performance which places General Electric on Rank 3 of the VB.com Internet Hall of Fame.

He made the diversified businesses of GE. The changes included a new corporate color palette, one of them are small modifications to the  GE Logo, a new customized font (GE Inspira), and breakthrough company slogan ,  imagination at work  replacing the longtime slogan  we bring good things to life,  which is composed by David Lucas.. Academic/learning reasons behind GEs choice: The fundamental and important reason behind to chose GE as organization because the companies existence in the market over 130 years. Still they are innovative. They always have been inspiration to other industries, the different kind of delivering the ideas, implementing them. Which always keep them in front.GE expands their horizon in much diversified manner in air and also around the world.GE continues with its tradition of innovations keeping the scale of growth in economy. Companies dramatic discoveries help to redefine the lives. And now GE continues to earn the respect in the business economic world. To keep this informative thread in my mind encourages me to take academic lessons of the company as a learning resource and reasons also. 1.b) Theories and principle which underlie strategic planning. Growth strategy of General Electric. A company follows and obtained the best growth five initiative strategies to create capital efficient growth and to create high margin: 1) Technical Leadership 2) Services 3) Customer Focus 4) Globalization 5) Growth Platforms 1.Technical Leadership Technology is a prior and most preferential sector of companies initiative. Innovation comes in research and development which is a very subjective of this sector. The importance always given to the Technical leadership because it produces high-margin products, which could wins competitive battles and creates new markets. The external marketing forces are always been changing and they are not constant so company have about 2,000 researchers in our Global Research Centers linked to market and customer needs and in constant dialogue with our businesses.As main outcomes of a technical leadership a company made great progress in energy efficiency by introducing four leading products at the mid of 2003: 1) The H Systemà ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚ ¢ gas turbine 2) 3.6-megawatt wind turbine 3) The GE Evolutionà ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚ ¢ Series locomotive engine 4) And the GE90-115B jet engine. 2. Services GEs Technical leadership can measure its better accountability is high end margin services for decades for a massive installed base of more than 100,000 long-lived GE jet engines, power turbines, locomotives and medical instruments. But services only work if they make our customers more profitable. In the energy market, GE has accepted the methodology to build and design asset business to improve customers energy efficiency, uptime and environmental performance. This year, our customer Norfolk Southern will begin operating with GEs Precision Dispatch Systemà ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚ ¢, the rail industrys most comprehensive traffic management system, to improve locomotive availability and customer service. 3. Customer Focus Last year, company has formed a sales and marketing council led by Beth Comstock and Dave Nissen, two of our best growth leaders. Their main agenda includes: aligning our sales force with customer needs; taking Six Sigma to our customers; developing world-class marketing; driving sales force effectiveness; and serving global customers with excellence. One of our successes is in vertical selling, the practice of aligning our offerings in four industries that are critical to GE: healthcare, energy, transportation and retail. They represent $47 billion of industrial revenues and $169 billion of financial services assets. GE brings a unique concept of capabilities to these industries, including products, services, information and financing. In 2003, GE signed a multiyear agreement with New York-Presbyterian Hospital to support them in clinical research operation and help them improve their business. Company has also formed a $2 billion relationship with Emirates Airlines to setup a modernize setup for aircraft and make their assets and people more productive for their better outcomes. Xerox is a best partnership company with GE having strong relationship between them, though the company provides their help in the segment of finance and operating capabilities to improve their marketing strategies. 4. Globalization Since foundation of the company, GE always became a competent in world market with its multiple ideas and effectiveness throughout the globalization. After the formation company has sold its major product outside the U.S, remaining the economic market company sold its product. The company has keeping its own and major one-third of our leadership team global. GE global revenues were almost $74 billion in 2005, up 11%, and should grow 14% in 2007. Company has its different vision to recognize central fact that they know the demand by Global growth requires more than simply shipping products. Company always been committed equally to developing capabilities and relationships in the markets where you want to succeed. In Asian countries GE also commitment to China for its future business.GEs established its Global Research Center in Shanghai to develop the capabilities of Chinese suppliers and technology that GE can use globally. GE is keeping this approach in other developing markets. The company is confident to get revenues from Eastern Europe, Russia and Iraq should grow from $3.5 billion in 2010 to $7 billion in 2015.. 5. Growth Platforms Transform the business model using growth initiatives, such as services and globalization. Finally, apply this theory financial strength to invest in organic growth or acquisitions. GEs Growth Strategy:http://www.ge.com/images/en/ar2003/widgets/spacer.gif Technical Leadership Services Customer Focus Globalization Growth Platform http://www.ge.com/ar2003/chairman/letter_4.jsp 1. d) Models and tools which could be used as a strategic planning and development of GE: SWOT ANALYSYS is a basis method which will help for strategic planning and development OF GENERAL ELECTRIC. SWOT analysis is being discussed below: STRENGTHS Global recognition:   General Electric has ventured into the world market thus gaining global recognition for its unique goods and services Forbes magazine ranked GE as the worlds largest company in year 2009.   In todays business world General Electrics brand is the worlds most recognized brand, and recognition has given it a competitive edge over other companies due to its ability to attract more customers. Excellent Management:   GE utilizes a unique management style, the integrity of management and business operations are divided into business units.   Each business unit plays a distinct role within the company and has its own independent management.   Examples include GE Commercial Finance, GE Equipment Services, GE  Energy, GE Insurance, and GE Consumer Finance among others. This kind of unique management helps to take instant decision and to be more concentric toward its unit managerial functions and helps to increase productivity due to the high level of accountability and efficiency that business unit managers are expected to maintain. Diversity and operation management: GE has invested in a wide range of products whose activities range from technology, energy, automotives, and aviation and home appliances to financial services and insurance services. This kind of diversification shields the company from risks in case of misfortunes. WEAKNESSES Under-performing energy sector: Due to the effect global crisis and fluctuation in fuel prices energy sector is not performing as expected. So the supply shortage because lack of demands and fluctuations in prices of oil and gas have mostly threatened the companys profitability. Threat to flexibility: Sometimes flexibility in the business operations may causes dangerous for a company, because it results in over-stretching which usually slows down decision making.GE having its very huge operation management to do under numerous units which require attention and could prove hard to manage if excessive diversification occurs. OPPORTUNITIES Mergers and acquisitions:   GE has many sources and very much to prove, but sometimes in market there are many competent, result of this GE has performed several mergers in the recent past. These not only help the company to expand globally but to diversify its activities into new areas thus increasing productivity. Research and development: Intensified research and development characterize the GEs activities to maintain a competitive edge over others in the same industry. GE invests substantial amount of resources for relentless efforts to ensure the production of innovative products. THREATS Competition:   Operating in global economic environment  where stiff competition is present is a threat in itself. GE risks losing its customers to competitors .As a large company GE gives importance to control to negotiate with suppliers. They can better manage production to keep prices and profitability high.   Competition could be intensified by product differenciation, better techniques and technology among competitors. Information security: Every company faces a treat of losing confidential and important data through internet hackers, sometimes natural disasters and dishonesty of employess.this could affect the companys activities and cause a slow-down in production. Financial crisis:   Up and downturns in the economy, global financial crisis, seriously effect most companies today, these causes the rises in prices and shrinking bank lending rates have lack in businesses much needed profits and capital respectively.

Since this capability sets Rockport apart, the focus on opportunities in which company has leverage these strengths to add value beyond investment capital. http://www.rockportcap.com/our-approach Task 3a) Definition: vision According to Mike Harvey (2009), the vision seeks to provide an ideal future for which the organization strives for. Lambert (1996) as quoted by Harvey (2009) suggests that crafting a vision calls for creativity. He states that a vision should specifically answer direct questions like what will the organization be like in 5 to 15 years times among others. Tom Peters (1987) pontificates that, visions are meant to be clear, inspiring and challenging. From these statements I have developed the vision statement for Dialogue Direct will be the following: Maintaining our Leadership position in the top 5 of UK fundraising organization in a bid to make a difference in the world (Mike Harvey course notes for strategic planning and implementation, 2009) In GE CEO is the first and head of the management. The corporate success depends on the vision districts by the  chief executive  . GE has vision impact on the employees to be accompanied in a dramatic and enduring way.GE always make sure you keep stretch in employees vision, communicate it constantly, underscoring the relationship between management and employee. Definition: Mission statement A well-thought out mission statement guides a companys managers as to which market opportunities to pursue and which fall outside the companys strategic domain (Scott, 2000). A mission is something to be accomplished. Professional Definition: GE does not have a mission statement, per se, but its operating philosophy and business objectives are clearly articulated each year in the Letter to Shareowners, Employees and Customers in the Annual Report.. http://www.ge.com Definition of Objectives: The objectives are declaration of companys purpose and goals (Rea and Rea, 2000). Objectives are meant to create a challenging environment for people who crave to make above average contributions and who imagine to get above average rewards (Bragg, 2006). GEs main objectives are:   1) To facilitate the development of effective energy and environmental strategies related to corporate business policies in Georgia; 2) To facilitate the creation of effective legal, regulatory and structural framework for market oriented reforms and harmonization with best western (EU) standards in the fields of energy and environment protection; 3 )To build public awareness, encourage public participation , in the fields of energy and environmental protection. Definition of values Values   Imagine, solve, build and lead four bold verbs that express what it is to be part of organization. Their action-oriented nature says something about who we are and should serve to energize ourselves and our teams around leading change and driving performance. http://www.csrglobe.com/login/companies/ge.html Professional Definition: Values in GE: While GE has always performed with integrity and values.The values which embody the spirit of GE at its best. Energy and spirit of a company that has the solid foundation to lead change as business evolves. And they express distinctly a code of behavior that guides through that change with integrity. They are a call to action that asks every GE employee to recommit to a common set of beliefs about how we work in our world today, they are based on a continuum of how GE has grown and performed through generations. They are our words and our values in our own voice. 3b) Effectiveness of above three things can be measured in the following ways: Mission, Vision and Values Mission The effectiveness of mission is give a clear way for organization to clarify what it is currently discover to do for its customers or stakeholders. It is like statement of purpose, which create a question What is GE trying to accomplish on behalf of our stakeholders or individual investors? An effective mission statement helps to identify day-to-day operations and as the foundation for future decision-making and to make corporate strategy. Vision The vision is a corporate glance which creates a rallying point for strategic management team to maximize efforts. Organizations vision provides a powerful and inspiring picture of the outcome an organization seeks, at some point in the future. Vision is a key of success and it would be effective if clear and step forward to be achieving goal of organization. Values An organizations value is fundamental and deeply held. Every organization has its intrinsic value and is important to everyone on the management. Values are an implicit part of the promise of organizations future and establish for prospective and existing team members about their expectation from teammates, management and leaders. 3 c) ORGANIZATION CULTURE Definition:- Gareth Morgan has described organizational culture as: The set of the set of beliefs, values, and norms, together with symbols like dramatized events and personalities that represents the unique character of an organization, and provides the context for action in it and by it. http://www.organizationalculture101.com/definition-of-organizational-culture.html GEs organizational culture: GEs organizational culture committed towards its leadership culture, The company believes that employees performance can only flourish in safe and sound environment. This leadership culture can be obtained through system and policies develop communication, maintain the partner employee relationship, privacy and gives surety of health and safety. GE has multidimensional work assessment groups which undergo with different definitions and operating structure give below. 1)Operating with integrity 2)Work and life balance 3)Quality and work life Some of the key characteristics of GEs organizational culture are as follows: A )Individual effort is much more important than group or collective efforts. B) Competition is king internally and externally C) Poor performers lose face publicly ETHICAL VALUES: Definition:- An ethical appeal also referred to as ethos basically has to do with rights or moral values. http://www.tutorvista.com/answers/ethical-values-definition/72821 Ethical Values of GE: Factors: Since the inception of company Internal and External functions of Management GE has been began operating under Thomas Alva Edison. Since then GE has grown and matured as one of the greatest multi- innovator firms in business history with GE has become an international company expanding its services and product around the world. GE has its own ethics of business and values. GEs ethical values reflect in a wonderful example of how external and internal factors like globalization, technology, innovation, diversity, at national and international level will impact the way company managers operate and comply with ethical and compliance issues. GEs ethics impacts directly, not only the four functions of management namely planning, organizing, leading, and controlling but also the four factors globalization, technology, innovation, and diversity are closely related with each other. http://www.tutorvista.com/answers/ethical-values-definition/72821 http://www.writework.com/essay/ge-business-ethics-compliance 3 d) Core competencies: Definition:- It is cluster knowledge and gained abilities from its consistent efforts over the years, which are not easily imitiated.it helps to any organization to be competitive and help to become more creative and able to deliver good services towards customers. After a many years of dedication General Electrics introduced best practices GEs version of benchmarking, reengineering and energetic, highly participative employee-manager retreats, to get more new ideas from employees.  Ã‚  These are which will help GE to be more creative and were aimed at significantly increasing innovation in order to substantially increase productivity.  GE has major and important client is U.S  for many years.When GE applies the theory of core competency it become live and breathe innovation, at the very least, find it fundamental to their successes in the words of Peter Druker Every organization-not just businesses-needs one core competence:  Ã‚  innovation. http://www.winstonbrill.com/bril001/html/article_index/articles/201-250/article220_body.html Critical success factors: Mike Harvey (1984) suggests that, these are factors that are necessary when the company is looking to excel and outperform its competitors. Those are the things customers, shareholders and stakeholders generally value about a business and its activities. Importance of the critical success factors in an organization is because of it can help to focus on the building their capabilities or to identify if there are any lack of ability to build necessary critical success factors. Critical success factors are necessary to the success of General Electric: In world energy market GE compete with some another leading companies. Some rival companies are now to launch new greener products in market to make environment decarbonised.so in my opinion the competition will become more rigid in coming days Critical success factors could be in subject areas of gas turbines and energy efficient lights.GE already introduced its much heralded Ecomaginationproject.but it needs more diversity in above particular independent research. Task 4 4.1a) Amendment strategy in response to change in economic and business climate. GE is always committed to its customers for their better services; on the other side company has also to focus on large scale business opportunities. Though being a being a global leader in a number of high tech industries GE has identified a providing solution to face a problem of the future which could be interest of environmental issues. Therefore Mr.jeffrey has bought a new innovative and creative project namely Ecomagination When GE done analysis upon ecological survey he came on decision that there is a resources problem of global warming and supply of oil and water which were most prominent. And its going to be more demand in coming decades. So avoid future imbalance of certain things GE has started to invest in ecologically friendly alternatives to existing technologies. (Global Energy Formation, Matts Larsson 2009.Pllgrave Macmillan, Page 119) 4. b) GE responded to the changes in its environment. As explained above GE accompanied changes and following their strategies as per creation a innovation Ecomagination.so it can be prove that GE responded to the changes in its environment. The GE ecomagination annual report provides updates on the progress on each of its ecomagination commitments. 1. Double investment in clean research and development   GE invested $1.5 billion on ecomagination RD, reaching the commitment to double our annual investment by 2010 one year ahead of schedule. GE continues to be committed to unleashing new technology.. 2. Increase revenues from ecomagination products   In 2009, ecomagination revenues grew six percent to $18 billion even in a challenging global environment. 3. Reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve the energy efficiency of its operations   GE reduced its GHG emissions by 22% compared to 2004. GE improved its energy intensity 34% compared to 2004, surpassing the goal of 30% in 2012. http://www.genewscenter.com/Press-Releases/GE-Surpassed-5-Billion-in-Research-Development-Investment-in-ecomagination-Technology-2902.aspx 4 c) As per my concern following will be the major functional areas of GE. 1. Research and Development Department GE Global Research is the hub of technology development for all of GEs businesses having 10 global laboratories organized by scientific disciplines all focused on leveraging technology breakthroughs across multiple GE businesses. GE established laboratories in different continents and their people come from the US, Europe, China and India collaborates and builds on each success. http://www.ge.com/company/research_development.html GE diverse its industrial lab in the world. From aircraft engines to power generation to financial businesses and even television network and movie studios, GE Global Research can leverage technology across industries and across scientific disciplines. http://www.ge.com/company/factsheets/grc.html 2. GEs marketing Department: General Electric is treat

Ethnography Essay -- Anthropology Culture Reflexivity Papers

Ethnography Works Cited Missing Anthropology is defined, in the most basic terms, as the study of other cultures. This field can subsequently be divided into more specific sects, and contain more precise defining characteristics, but this definition is essentially all that is needed. Anthropology is a science that attempts to look at other cultures and draw conclusions to questions that are raised while studying. An anthropologist is someone who accepts what is presented before them and is driven by an urge to understand each presentation as thoroughly as possible. Once the concept of anthropology is accepted, one must identify the means of reaching the goal of this field. In the sect of social anthropology, this vehicle is known as ethnography. This technique of studying is fundamentally, participant-observation, an attempt at becoming part of a culture in order to understand most fully. It is in this specific method, however, that disputes have arisen. As cut and dry as the definitions I have given may seem, anth ropologists have recently become disillusioned with these methods and have ventured into a new form of interpretation, known as reflexivityan analysis of the self within the fieldwork. This new form is, in essence, a breaking of the "rules of anthropology" established by early anthropologists and, similar to discoveries made in the fields of chemistry and biology, reflexivity is necessary in aiding in the advancement of this field, too. Before attention can be given to the concept of reflexivity and its benefit to anthropology, the "rules of anthropology," mentioned earlier, must be understood. Bronislaw Malinowskis "The subject, Method and Scope of this Enquiry" is a highly renowned account of early anthropolog... ...ut suggests using ones own role as another level of research to be undertaken. Anthropology began, and remains, a study of other cultures. The rules of which, defined by Malinowski and his contemporaries, included the traditional dichotomy of Self and Other. Reflexivity involves viewing the self in addition to the people of a different culture and on Self and Self instead of Other. Reflexivity is not a component that Malinowski would have included, in fact he states his opinion on the self within ethnographic work, "he may draw on himself for stimulus. But the two functions are separate, and in actual research they have to be separated both in time and conditions of work"(Malinowski,8). Advances must be made in anthropology and, despite the views of writers of the past, reflexivity has proven to be effective, successfully evolving into the field of anthropology.

A False Utopia Society English Literature Essay

A Utopia is an ideal province for society nevertheless, a Utopia is impossible to accomplish because a perfect universe does non be. A dystopia occurs when the commanding agents take control over all of society while taking away their rights, and freedom. A dystopia is obviously presented in the two novels Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. It is presented through the novels that control is merely possible with the usage of engineering. There are two distinguishable methods used to do a dystopia, Huxley uses felicity, while Orwell uses fright. Nevertheless, entire control over humanity is non unflawed because a rebellious quality will ever be, such as John, and Winston Smith. Both novels wish to obtain an indistinguishable end, to take complete control over humanity, but due to the defects within the dystopia complete use can non be. The commanding agents think they are making a Utopian society unlike the characters, who are the lone 1s that realise it is a dystopia. Despite the differences that exist within the societies of each novel, they both have the indistinguishable result of a dystopia. It is apparent in the novel Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four, it is impossible to accomplish complete control over humanity even through the usage of felicity. Brave New World attempts to take human individuality by taking over the procedure of maternity and childhood, and doing each babe born to their conditions and wishing. The babes are organized into their future societal groupings: â€Å" We besides predestine and status. We decant our babes as socialised human existences, as Alphas or Epsilons, as future sewerage works or futureaˆÂ ¦ † ( Huxley 10 ) . They are basically taking the function of God nevertheless, human nature can be modified, but non removed. This is apparent in John who clearly demonstrates true human nature that is in the Fordian society: â€Å" in Brave New World, the separation of gender and reproduction becomes the agencies whereby single individuality is made vulnerable and capable of being destroyed † ( Martin 1 ) . John, unlike t he Fordian society was born from a female parent which makes him portion of a alone society. His acknowledgments of the dystopia nowadays in the Fordian society makes him go a Rebel, as he recognises the defects and efforts to contend against them: â€Å" † Do n't you desire to be free work forces? Do n't you even understand what manhood and freedom are? † †¦ â€Å" I ‘ll do you free whether you want it or non † aˆÂ ¦he began to throw the small pill-boxes of soma tablets in smattering out into the country. † ( Huxley 187 ) Through John it is apparent that his rebellious behavior was a defect in the society because of his acknowledgment of the dystopia. Rebellion will be because of the inability to take human nature which is what finally lead John and Winston to going Rebels. In the fresh Nineteen Eighty-Four, protagonist Winston Smith is a Rebel. Winston, likewise to John has the ability to acknowledge the dystopia due to his human nature. Winston belongs in a alone portion of the society that rebels against the accountant Big Brother. He is determined to destruct Big Brother and finally destruct the dystopia. This purpose is exemplified when he states: â€Å" I do n't conceive of that we can change anything in our ain life-time. But one can conceive of small knots of opposition jumping up here and there-small groups of people banding themselves together, and bit by bit turning † ( Orwell 141 ) . He non merely has the dedication to destruct it even if he is a little fraction of the Oceanian society, but he states that there are other people similar to him. Unlike the Fordian society, Oceania attempts to cover with the Rebels by seeking to alter their human nature and do them into blind followings of the party: â€Å" O'Brien turns the one rebelli ous Winston into another thoughtless drone of the Party, representing the almighty nature of the authorities, and the futility of contending against it. † ( Beaird 1 ) . Although Winston was turned into a follower of Big Brother, he was portion of a society that exemplifies human nature and farther recognizing the dystopia. Both societies have Rebels within them such as John and Winston therefore, the rebellious presence depicts the societies as non flawless. The chief end is for the commanding agents is to accomplish complete control over the society, although both novels use different techniques to try to accomplish complete human control the result is indistinguishable. Nineteen Eighty-four utilizations fear while Brave New World uses felicity to take control over people. The Fordian society makes each group enjoy their life, and be happy with what they are making as stated by the Director of Brave New World: â€Å" that is the secret of felicity and virtuousness – wishing what you ‘ve got to make. All conditioning purpose at that: devising people like their unescapable societal fate. † ( Huxley 12 ) . The Fordian society is based on fulfilling the demands of the people, but since the hatching Centre sets the people ‘s demands they are really easy to follow. Meloni emphasizes that because all the desires are obtained there is no demand for freedom: â€Å" Desire is dead in the Brave New World: to acknowledge the being of it would intend to acknowledge the failure of the ideal province. That is why all cardinal demands, above all those related with the sexual inherent aptitude, are instantly satisfied except for the desire for freedom, which has necessarily been suppressed † ( Varricchio 1 ) . The Fordian society does non necessitate freedom because they do non cognize what it is, an semblance is made that they are populating with freedom but in world even their freedom is controlled. Sexual activity and haoma, a drug that all of society takes to do themselves more relaxed and happy, finally distracts society from the real property and yesteryear, similar to the Oceanian society. The Oceanian society presented in Nineteen Eighty-Four utilizations fright and propaganda to try to take control over all of humanity. Oceania is invariably watching people, and maintaining people sacred to either make something against the jurisprudence or even believe incorrect about Large Brother. The penalty as all the people know is either decease or terrible maltreatment, maintaining the society scared to make something incorrect. Both novels remove: the usage privateness, history, and the past to take control over the society: â€Å" In the standardised societies depicted in both novels the media uphold conformance, denying persons their ain privateness and personal feelings. Simultaneously, they strengthen powers capable of commanding every individual aspect of their topics ‘ life by striping them of all critical attitude. Both societies have emptied of a sense of history and of memory of the yesteryear. In Airstrip One, the emptiness is filled by a host of images of p ropaganda whereas in the fordian universe is shallowness and sensationalism. † ( Neilson 1 ) . One of the universe controllers O'Brien makes it really clear how rigorous the Party is to all of society, â€Å" There will be no trueness, except trueness towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of victory over a defeated enemyaˆÂ ¦All viing pleasances will be destroyed. But alwaysaˆÂ ¦there will be the poisoning of power, invariably increasing and invariably turning subtler. † ( Orwell 242 ) . Sexual activity must besides be controlled by both societies to hold control over the people: â€Å" Since gender lies at the nucleus of identityaˆÂ ¦it must be controlled by the province every bit good. In Nineteen Eighty-Four, the method used is non physical control of gender and reproduction through engineering and conditioning, as in Brave New World. † ( Martin 1 ) . Sexual activity in Oceania is considered a rebellious act if done with pleasance or joy, which is why Winston has sex with his spouse Julia. Even with Oceania utilizing fright, and the Fordian society utilizing happiness the result is that both of the societies have turned into a dystopia, which is apparent through the Rebels John, and Winston. But without the usage of engineering no control is possible. Technology is as a necessity for accomplishing domination. Through both novels Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four it is exemplified that merely with the usage of engineering it is possible to command people. Both Fordian, and Oceanian society use the engineering otherwise nevertheless, for the same intent. Brave New World uses engineering to do different groups of people assigned to different occupations in their life, engineering is besides used to keep properties of immature age and felicity: â€Å" We preserve them from diseases. We keep their internal secernments unnaturally balanced at a vernal equilibriumaˆÂ ¦We give them transfusions of immature blood. We keep their metamorphosis for good stimulated. Youth about unimpaired till 60, and so, cleft! The terminal. † ( Huxley 95 ) . Technology is the most of import portion of the citizen ‘s lives, and for the commanding agents because it is easier to modify human nature from birth. Besides with old age and u nhappiness society would non obey their orders, and effort to better their lives taking to blemish within the dystopia: â€Å" On suction reserves reside people who lack technological â€Å" progresss. † The abode of Malpais, in contrast with the citizens of the World State, pattern a simple, agricultural life style. They give birth to kids of course and pattern monogamousness. † ( Beaird 1 ) . The little society outside of the World State is non controlled because they will non let themselves to be, and without engineering they will populate their lives in a free and rebellious mode as exemplified by John. Unlike the World State, Oceania is watching and commanding everybody at all times. In the fresh Nineteen Eighty-Four, engineering is used to watch people and all their actions. While all of society knows they are being watched it non merely lets the accountants keep society under their orders, but makes society scared to disobey: â€Å" the innovation of the telescreenaˆÂ ¦is righty considered of the extreme importance for the care of a constabulary stateaˆÂ ¦The telecasting is hence shown to attach to every individual minute of people ‘s life, developing them to entire passiveness † ( Beaird 1 ) . Without the telescreen watching society, people would be close and have a sense of security finally, taking to rebellion: â€Å" The telescreen received and transmitted at the same time. Any sound Winston made, above the lever of a really low susurration, would be picked up by it ; furthermore, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he would be seen every bit good as heardaˆÂ ¦You had to live-did u nrecorded, form wont that became instinct-in the premise that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every minute scrutinised. † ( Orwell 6 ) . Both novels use engineering to take control, and manipulate over society. Brave New World takes control of people from the beggary of their being, while Nineteen Eighty-four utilizations engineering to invariably watch society and penalize the disobeyers, finally doing fright. Nevertheless both novels successfully attempt to accomplish entire human control making a dystopia. In both novels ; Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four, their several societies are populating in a utopia, but for John and Winston they are able to see that it is a dystopia. Even with different methods and engineering used, it is exemplified through the Rebels John and Winston that the defects in the control system will ne'er let complete control. It is proven through them that human nature is possible to pull strings but non destruct. Therefore, this leaves human control and use possible to a certain extent. Despite the Fordian society and Oceania trying to accomplish a utopia utilizing different methods, it is apparent that accomplishing a Utopia is impossible because a perfect universe does non be, and the effort will finally take to an indistinguishable result.
