1984 Research Paper
George Orwell is a man that visualized a society where the government controlled everything and everyone from the language to what we are allowed to be accountable of. In “When Euphemism Disguises Truth: George Orwell’s Foresight”, by historian Bernard A. Weisberger he talks about how the government manipulates everything to their advantage such as deteriorating the language. Weisberg supports this claim by demonstrating how the German, Russian, and Italian languages have been deteriorated in the last 10 to 15 years as a result to dictatorship. This is why it’s become clear that the society showed in George Orwell’s 1984 has become more of a reality since they share lots of similarities such as no privacy, being watch …show more content…

This is being accomplished with the usage of cellphones and the internet without us knowing, and also by taking advantage of technology. However there are ways to avoid having your privacy invaded and getting actual privacy. Therefore, people don’t have to give up their aspects of their personal privacy. Personally I believe that Orwell’s visualization has become a reality without us being aware of what goes on our everyday
