Of course, that was the aim of his magisterial scholarly work, and while unquestionably impressive, his tome turned out to be by no means the last word on the topic. Indeed over the intervening quarter century, quite to the contrary, we witnessed a continuously increasing outpouring of specialized political science, historical, philosophical, psychological, and other disciplinary studies with clearly ―no school of leadership‖with a single unifying theory emerging.

  • 1984: the Worlds in the Novel and the Movie: a Comparative Study
    1984: The Worlds in the Novel and the Movie: A Comparative Study. Dr; Urja Mankad George Orwell is the pen-name of Eric Arthur Blair, who was an English writer and journalist, well-noted as a novelist, critic and commentator on politics and culture. George Orwell is one of the most admired English - language essayists of the twentieth century, and is most famous for two novels critical of totalitarianism in general (1984)' and Stalinism in particular (Animal Farm), which he wrote and published towards the end of his life. To Orwell, liberty and democracy went together, guaranteeing, among other things, the freedom of the artist. He believed that the present capitalist civilization was corrupt, but that fascism would be morally calamitous. In December 1936, Orwell went to Spain as a fighter for the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War that was provoked by Francisco Franco's Fascist Uprising. In conversation with Philip Mairet, editor of New English Weekly, Orwell said, "This Fascism .. ... Somebody's got to stop it". Orwell was a dispassionate witness of his age, passionately involved in social and political issues. This appears to be a contradiction in terms but it is not, It expresses the genuine honesty of a man who fought for his convictions, and yet retained a degree of objectivity in his assessment of a situation or an issue. In an age dominated by political ideologies, he steered clear of them. He often tried to get inside a situation but did not at any stage surrender his right to think and to criticize. Though his political analysis was often nalve, his intuitive grasp of a situation was normally sound.

    http://wjss.sciedupress.com World Journal of Social Science Vol. 8, No. 1; 2021 The Meaning of Private in an Age of Surveillance William W. Bostock1,* 1School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania, Sandy Bay, Tasmania, Australia *Correspondence: School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania, Private Bag, Sandy Bay, Tasmania, Australia 7000. E-mail: [email protected] Received: November 14, 2020 Accepted: December 28, 2020 Online Published: January 15, 2021 doi:10.5430/wjss.v8n1p67 URL: https://doi.org/10.5430/wjss.v8n1p67 Abstract The private has great significance for the individual as it is where identity is stored. However, the private comes at a cost, particularly in a time of mass surveillance, which is heightened by the present Coronavirus pandemic, and is becoming more and more rare as individuals seek security. At the collective level, whole societies are moving towards privatisation, as the private gives relief from increased surveillance by media, governments and informed individuals and organisations, thus allowing more operational flexibility. Private and public are significant as polar ends of a spectrum in which individuals and collectivities must position themselves on a wide range of issues while maintaining identity. As shown in the case of airport privatisation, the determining process has been influenced by cultural factors such as a desire to avoid surveillance and scrutiny, sociological factors such as contagion, and political factors such as convergence. In all areas of human activity, a rebalancing between private and public may be necessary, and a transdisciplinary approach would be appropriate. Keywords: private, public, identity, surveillance, contagion, convergence, pandemic 1.
