1984 by George Orwell (text to the world) Freedom is what everyone wants. But in Winston world, freedom was not an option. In 1984 by George Orwell is a guy named Winston that is against The Party which controls everything in Oceania. Everywhere in Oceania, there would be a telescreen that watches your every move. In the world of Oceania, there’s not freedom of speech. Everything has to be controlled by The Party. Winston meant this girl named Julia. Both of them found a group named Brotherhood which hates The Party but it was all a trap. In the Brotherhood, a guy named O'Brien was a Party spy. He takes both of them and into brainwash them and threaten Winston with rates because of his nightmares …show more content…
The telescreen also monitors their behavior everywhere they go and also remind them with a sign saying “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.” The Party also brainwash the kids encourage them to spy on their parents and report any disloyalty. The Party also tense up the citizens emotions so they can hate the Party enemies. This shows that the party manipulated people's minds for them to be in control. This can be an example of bribe or blackmail which is in our everyday life. We can use the money to shut people mouth up, to kill someone or even entertainment. In today's world, manipulation is taken to a whole new another level. Instead of tricking the mind, we use the money to do the work. For instance, person A may know something about person B secret, and in order for person B to shut up and never say a word, person A pay them they money. We can see that people can be controlled with money. Another example is how the media can trick our mind. For instance, a person can blog about how our society is all messed up and we’re never going to have a future. How our government is messed up and how our laws are stupid because we are using it in a negative way. Then another person can blog about how everybody wants the American dream. Booming economy, a higher rate of jobs opportunity, good education, and more freedom. The person that’s reading it can change their mind and start believing it. Making the person have a different point of view. In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy”(93
