Oceania is a dystopia, that does not allow self-expression or self-thought. It prohibits love, unless it is the love of Big Brother. There is no art, music, laughter, and/or science. In Oceania, since there is no self-expression, the made a language that is called Newspeak to prevent the spread of individual thought.

Although hate is very common and will never go away, the societies brought up with the main idea of hate regardless of the type have been seen to fall. Things like racism in the U.S. was when society was brought up due to the cause of hate to other races also the races becoming slaves and when slavery became illegal they still got paid less than an average white male for the same job. Things like this are still happening but have slowly stopped occurring. Leaders of a society based on hate end up failing on their "masterplan", constructed by hate. Hitler created his plan based on his hate for Jews, eventually he failed and it resulted in many lives lost through war and both emotional and physical scars left on people. He did not succeed because the rest of the worlds love for people intended to drive out this hate and scary world for innocent lives. Hate crime, a crime motivated by racial, sexual, or other prejudice, typically including violence. These hate crimes are crimes of pure ignorance to other people based from things they cannot control themselves. Despite many hate motivated crimes can include mass-shootings, physical assault using derogatory racial, sexual, etc. slurs, vandalism or "hate" graffiti, burning crosses, etc., these are only seen as a crime hate after the identifying the suspects

    The Phillipses and Mikowski did not have the Higginses and the Hargroves removed from the Talbot Bank loans and to date, the Phillipses and Mikowski have not paid any funds to the Higginses and the Hargroves as required by the Purchase Agreements.

    I do believe a society based on hate could survive as O’Brien says it could. Just look at Oceania it has been surviving on hate for more than 20 years. As long as a nation is strong in brainwashing its citizens and “defeating” its enemies, the nation is capable of surviving on hate. O’Brien describes the future for Oceania’s brainwashed citizens by telling Winston “There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love except for Big Brother.…

    Winston is right, a society based on hate can not survive. It wouldn’t be able to survive because, if everyone hates each other it will end in a violent, negative war. At first; yes the thrill and intoxicating feeling of power will be enough for people to continue living without friendship or love. However, people will get tired of it and would want to start a friendship and love; because naturally as humans we are hard-wired for love and affection. No, I could not live in such society because, I grew up being taught that love is very important and is an essential part of our living lives.…

    The first stanza is about being surrounded by people and having to wear my mask. I have to pretend to be happy by wearing a “smile”,I said it was “etched” on my face because it sounds more forced rather than natural.

    Hate-Based Society Essay

    • 553 Words
    • 3 Pages

    A hate-based society is common in the fictional novel 1984 by George Orwell and in our real world, a hate-based society is not an irrational idea. The idea of a hate-based society is founded on fear, power, and of course, hatred. I happen to believe that a society based off hatred and suffering can survive, but that does not mean I would want to live in that particularly shaped society such as Winston Smith did in 1984. In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, a character named O’brien says, “Old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love and justice.…
