Brainwashed

The use of language, torture, and propaganda gives the party a direct control over the people of Oceania. The party’s use of language has a great impact on how the people of Oceania are brainwashed into showing devotion towards Big Brother. In Orwell’s 1984, the clever use of words compel the citizens of Oceania to think about two contradictory statements at the same time. This is known as the concept of Doublethink which was introduced in…

as long as people are given a choice, there's always a chance that they might choose "wrong" no matter how much they are educated by party’s values. People are no threat to the party only when they are at one with the party by being completely brainwashed to the point that they don't know themselves individually. The party’s goal is to destroy any ideology that is not theirs so by shutting people’s emotions and independent thought they turn people into moving pieces of meat filled with nothing…

that make a person an individual: thoughts feelings, freedoms, personal relationships, memories, etc (Fitzpatrick). Their policy was that by taking a person’s humanity, they were also taking that person’s power to fight back and realize just how brainwashed they were becoming. Without a mind of your own, you have no idea how to live and that is where the party steps in, like taking candy from a baby. One of the biggest examples of the Party taking away human qualities to make themselves seem…

their society. He was able to use his voice to teach the Germans to hate the Jewish people. By doing this people were convinced that Jews were bad people. In the comic Maus it is easy to see a prime example of hate towards the Jews that Hitler brainwashed into the…

invaded by what media is exposing to them or by propaganda. This means that the person who is the most educated is the one that is well informed in education and is the independent one. While the person who isn’t educated is the one who is being brainwashed by the media and by propaganda surrounding them. A menace in the society isn’t always a person who is uneducated. So he thinks that the menace in the society can be the one with morals. As he said “ the most dangerous criminal may be the man…

Totalitarianism is a government that takes total control over every aspect of public and private life. This was the type of government Adolf Hitler transformed Germany into. Before Adolf Hitler came into power he joined a little political party known as the Nazi in the early 20s. The Nazi party was made up of middle and lower middle class and believed that Germany had to overthrown the Treaty of Versailles and combat communism. By 1932 Nazi became largest political party. In 1933 the president…

Infants were feeling and desire are concerned. (Huxley, 63) This quote supports my argument because while Bernard talks to Lenina he shows that he still has some sense of reality from the brainwashed society. Lenina, one of the brainwashed women in the city-state does not understand this and goes on to say that when you feel some type of emotion, the entire community suffers. Bernard does not listen to her and goes on to when adults were intellectuals, babies were…

everyone has to morally abide by, but within Oceania those rules don’t exist. What people would normally learn from their parents is taught by the government. What would be considered immorale is a normal part of everyday life. In a sea of a million brainwashed citizens, it should be impossible for anyone to form their own opinions like Winston does. The characters used to contrast Winston in 1984 implies it is the responsibility of the individual to know the truth and challenge others.…

with other scientific elements, to raise a question: Are people becoming more dependent on technology, and is that so much of a good thing? Bradbury exposes the behavior of these brainwashed people that live on entertainment, and throws in a special, sensible person named Guy Montag. Guy Montag is introduced as a brainwashed fireman who has been indoctrinated by the new technology. Once he realizes his mindless behaviors, Montag tries to live his life in a sane fashion without the fantastic…

A political leader will use anything to control, deceive, and lie to the population. They have found that the best way to do so is to use mass propaganda and brainwashing the public. This should never be done anywhere due to how destructive it can be to a population. Places like North Korea will very likely never be fixed because of how effective and destructive propaganda is. I agree with Chris Hedges and his argument. Even though people could argue that it is better, but the population will be…
