General Government

schooled to spy and report on any activity of another person, including husbands on wives, children on parents, friend to friend. Their world was filled with fear, distrust, hatred for each other and a general distaste for life. This is the worst way for a government to rule a society. Government Control as displayed in 1984 is restricting people from having any individuality because they are not able to think, love or display any human aspects and…
