The 1970s vs. 2000s
Many studies have proven that people perceive the world with 80 milliseconds of delay, which means that we live 80 milliseconds behind reality; this is because there is some transfer time from our senses to our brain (Meyers 7). The distance between the generations have different historical experiences, reactions of later generations about democracy, economics, music, fashion, as the revolutions were taking in all aspects. The differences between generations have their own importance; however, we can compare and contrast them, between 1970s and 2000s in three aspects : music, trends and technology.
In the 1970s, people enjoyed music by radio, tapes, live concerts and brought vinyl records, whereas in the 2000s through software such as Spotify and Itunes are used, Youtube allows audiences to access a wide range of music from different genres and downloading music from online. On the other hand, in the1970s music was marketed by way of the artist gigs being advertised in newspapers, the band would play live on music programs and also touring was a primary means of promotion, while in the 2000s some artists give away free mix tapes, TV adverts and online web pages (Rodríguez 94). As examples of artists belonging to the 1970s can appoint: Bee Gees, Elton John and ABBA; in contrast, in the 2000s can mention: Colplay, Beyoncé and Britney Spears.
In addition to the music, a difference that marked between these two decades have been the trends. Fashion in the clothing of 1970s, the ideal was not to show the female attributes or curves, but on the contrary seem delegated nymphs showing their side children as a game of seduction compared with 2000s it 's put it that makes you feel comfortable, without giving much importance to the opinions of others or trends; so, casual clothes became fashion. On the other hand, the accessories in 1970s that stood out were sunglasses with very large lenses frames

    In George Orwell’s 1984, Winston Smith wrestles with oppression in Oceania, a place where the party scrutinizes human actions with everwatchful Big Brother. Defying a ban on individuality, Winston dares to express his thoughts in a diary and pursues a relationship with Julia. These criminal deeds bring Winston into the eye of the opposition, who then must reform the nonconformist. George Orwell’s 1984 introduced the watch words for life without freedom: BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU. The themes I will introduce to you somehow will describe what Winston is going through and how his life and the lives of other are being controlled, through psychological manipulation and the dangers of Totalitarianism.…

    Betrayal is a concept of one losing hope and trust in another. Unknowingly, one can be misled by individuals closest to them, allowing them to lose hope. For example, one can be a victim of deception by the disloyalty of a close friend they trust. Similarly, George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-four demonstrates one losing hope in the individuals they meet. The interwoven themes of hope and betrayal are evident through O’Brien, Julia, and Mr.Charrington as they betray Winston, and Oceania’s society since they are misled by Big Brother.…

    According to Orwell’s 1984, the only source of maintaining humanity is to retain an unadulterated loyalty between loved ones. Analyzing the composition of one’s soul, Winston, the main protagonist, fathoms that the proles are the only ones humane enough to manage real love, trust, and private loyalties. He understands that “what matter[s] [are] individual relationships, and a completely helpless gesture, an embrace, a tear, a word spoken to a dying man” (136). Without fully repressing the proles, the proles are able to treasure their ability to love and never betray their family and friends. They are human unlike the Party members because they possess their primitive emotions from the past and are not hardened inside. Opposite of the proles,the Party members are thoroughly influenced by the Party and Big Brother to break their instinctual bonds with their family and to become an enemy to everyone except for the Party. Since children are the easiest to indoctrinate, they “are systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, ...they adored the Party...[and] all their ferocity [are] turned outwards against the enemies,[especially to their parents]” (24). The modern children of Oceania are not considered to be human because they are forced into making a loyal relationship to the Party and are forced to destroy their connection with their own blood. It is not a natural connection like from a loving mother sacrificing herself for her child , therefore, the children does not actually ‘love’ Big Brother, they just tend to believe they do. In addition to killing one’s humanity, Winston turns into one of the Party’s robots later in the novel. After breaking his ardent devotion and giving up his first and only true love, Julia, “he was walking down the white tiled corridor... the long-hoped-for bullet was entering his brain. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother” (245). Orwell’s use of the bullet symbolizes…

    Allow yourself to paint a colorful daydream in your mind in which the government controls every aspect of your life. Those colors that you’re seeing are probably various shades of grey and dark blue; it’s the perfect rainy palette an artist would use to describe a very sad image. No one has the right to tell others how they should live and certainly no one has the right to regulate if you’re actually doing as they’ve told you. But this is exactly what was predicted to be in the future by George Orwell in the well-known classic novel 1984. His book described a sordid futuristic world in which every aspect of life is being monitored by the supremacy of The Party, regulating its citizens of everything from sexual partners to the things they are allowed to think. In fact, the main character Winston Smith, is actually arrested for thought-crime. Fortunately, however, this totalitarian tale was set in the bleak, fictional streets of London, Oceania; the United States has quite a stable constitution in place to protect and prevent any aggressive attack from government to manage its people in the way that those leading Orwell’s dystopia had.…

    Imagine existing in the 1970´s, drug trade was increasing, music was evolving and lifestyles were changing. Disco was an upcoming genre for many people, and “funky” was becoming a word. Throwing parties every week, and hippies were becoming the common man. There were peace rallies, and war was in effect. The DEA was cracking down on marijuana use while Pablo Escobar was on solely the rise of becoming an imperialistic drug dealer with a growing empire. There were thirty-eight Presidents throughout the 1970’s, but one very important one was President Richard Nixon.…

    Throughout history every generation has been different from the next, and every child is raised knowing the media and social acceptances of their own generation. Two generations that are very close to each other but are very different are the 1990s and the 2010s. The 1990s was revolutionary for its rise in multiculturalism, and also started to introduce technology in the forms of cable TV, internet, and videogames. The 2010s continues this rise in technology and multiculturalism, and has also become a decade of reality TV, online shopping, cell phones, tablets, and more inappropriate movies and music. Some comparable aspects of both generations include technology, TV shows, and music. In my opinion the 90's comes out on top as a better time to grow up in.…

    Music Reflection

    Music has its decades you can immediately recognize when its from because of the newer technologies we have to make music. For example if you hear a fast beat with a lot of tech you might immediately think Disco. From that you can say well the 80`s were a huge disco time therefore I think this song might be from the 80`s. in the 90`s there was a lot more risk`s that were taken which have luckily for us helped shape our world musically and not. For example there was a lot of racism at one time James Brown (Vocalist) put out new songs that people wouldn’t even listen to but because he did others did it and now many black people have songs out that are hits. That has a lot to do with how important music is to us now. Technological advancements in the last century have revolutionized the way we make, market and listen to music. To be specific, the invention and evolution of samplers, synthesizers and computer technology has changed the way music is now produced.. Many composers now use synthesizers and computers to create sounds. Others have composed pieces using a mixture of electronic sounds and traditional instruments. An example is Kontakte by the German composer…

    90s vs. 2000s

    • 778 Words

    Both decades are different in that the 1990’s had less technology, kids were well behaved and it was a more peaceful time; the 2000’s now have all kinds of technology, everyone has to have the newest phone or computer, a lot of kids are brats who want the newest video games and there’s a lot of security at places like airports because of so many terrorist attacks. The technology difference from both decades is huge, because all there was back then was vhs, cassette, and standard cable with 50 channels or so, a couple different types of cellular phones, dial up computers and so on. With technology today, everyone has a cell phone, most people have some type of computer or lap top, there are blu ray and DVD players, either cable or satellite television with high definition, smart phones with touch screens, high speed broadband, and cars that can tell someone when there veering onto a side lane. Next is a big difference which is how different children act whether it is to adults, each other, or in public. In the 1990’s most kids had parents who were physically able to play with them; kids were creative and found so many different games or activities to do’ they were respectful to whomever they came into contact with because they were raised well. Now when looking at most children they either are crying in public with their parents screaming at them, playing on their parents’ phone or tablet, prefer to stay in the house to play video…
