1. Other contradictions that inherent in the Party’s philosophy are Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength. There are four Ministries in which the government was divided. The Ministry of Truth, which involves news, entertainment, and education, the Ministry of Peace, which is considered to be a part of the war, the Ministry of Love, which maintains law and order and the Ministry of Plenty, which is responsible for economic affairs.
