    cannot feel safe while being ‘protected’ by a government that cares for only themselves. There has been a long history of governmental greed that harks back to even the creation of humans since greed has been in our hearts since the very beginning. The exceptionally blunt example is Orwell’s novel “1984”, a clear depiction of a government’s power being misused in favor of their own aspirations.

    and different viral activities that go on have a big impact on Americans. I think that this also had a big impact on our last election, because of all the chaos, mass shootings and just different events that all took place leading up to the election.

    In fact, government surveillance was one of the many ways the Party controlled civilians throughout the story in 1984. For example, Winston and Julia want to be able to see each other as much as possible, and went to great lengths in order to do so. They went to very desolate areas away from microphones and cameras, such as a far off countryside accessible by train, in order to talk to each other (Orwell).

    The Government controls most of what we do here. Not that they do a good job. One aspect of our lives that they control is food. They are in control of how it is grown, processed, and eaten. Having much of an impact in our lives not many people know how they go about this, what their process is. What’s their “proper role” in all of this? Joel Salatin says in Food Inc. I think it's one of the most important battles for consumers to fight: the right to know what's in their food, and how it was…

For Example, Big Brother said, “Big Brother is Watching You.”, this means that no matter where you go or what you do you are being watched at all…

    A government that controls every aspect of life is known as a totalitarian government. The Nazi regime in Germany is a prime example of a totalitarian government. However, even a government that has an abundance of power and influence often fails, just as the Nazi regime failed in the early nineteen hundreds.

    Freedom Economic freedom allows the society to think, feel, and act as they want, without interruption from the government. Humans love freedom, without compromises to anyone. Economic freedom is the government’s choice to rule with it, if it has the advantages on the country, but if it does not they should not. Economic freedom is measured as five areas, from the size of the government to regulation of credit. The results of the Studies in the nineteen-ninety-six about the impact of the…
