Oceania

travels at a speed of 320 km/h yet, it is not completely operational at this time. This Moroccan rail line is currently finalizing its testing phase and is expected be completely operational in 2017. This puts Africa years ahead of North America and Oceania but, one high speed rail line that totals 183 km on the second largest continent is underachieving at its best. This leaves much of the country without adequate rail…

Both plaster posters everywhere, England taking on plain white posters with the emboldened words: “STRENGTH THROUGH UNITY. UNITY THROUGH FAITH,” used to indoctrinate the people in an effort to gain and sustain power. Oceania is no stranger to indoctrination through public posters, commonly using the face of Big Brother to relay the message of the words below him “Big Brother is Watching You,” but, most comparable to V for Vendetta are the posters displaying the principles…

If Hitler had a Big Brother… it would be O’Brien The world would be a better place if everyone was happy, if the weather was ideal, if laws were created to reflect the ideal lifestyle. In a utopia, it is thought as a imaginary, and an indefinitely remote place but one person's utopia is another's dystopia (“utopia”). An imaginary place where people lead dehumanized and often fearful lives is a dystopia (“dystopia”).. This is what happens in most cases like in the book of 1984 by George Orwell…

changing the headline or distorting the truth, just a little bit, enough to make us think about the actions that supposedly Obama has taken and how he will be a more successful president, much like Big Brother and the Government forcing the people of Oceania…

In Oceania it is all about the government maintaining power over its people. The less the people know about history, and the dumber they are, the more the government has the power to control them. The totalitarian power keeps all the party people under surveillance…

can be seen in George Orwell’s 1984 in which the protagonist, Winston Smith, internally rebels against the Party, the scrutinizing government in control of Oceania. The dictatorial Party has destroyed all meaning of love, loyalty, and self-sacrifice in present day Oceania. It can be noted that the oppressive totalitarian government of Oceania has destroyed all human spirit. The Party has destroyed all meaning of marriage, sex, and love by twisting it to be a duty to the Party. This can be…

Everyone needs a humanity, because without it they are not human anymore. The Outer Party struggle to keep their humanity as the totalitarian government is constantly dehumanizing the state of Oceania, such as Winston Smith. “Orwell witnessed this first-hand the atrocities committed during the Spanish Civil War and lived during the rise to power of dictators such as Hitler and Stalin” (Bauer 1). Winston is raised during the rise of the Party, and as the Party continually attempts to dehumanize…

Conform, conform, conform! This is the scream of all governments across the globe, regardless of what type. The dictatorship screams this demand at the top of their lungs for all to hear, while the democracy silently drills this chant into the minds of all their people. However, both types of governments have the same idea in mind; the ability to control and watch over the public in order to ensure that they always remain in power. In one aspect of his novel, 1984, George Orwell addresses this…

force of Oceania. The party members controls the people, 85% of their population are workers, and the party members are divided into two groups; the inner party members and outer party members. Big Brother is their leader, and Emmanuel Goldstein is the enemy of the party and the people. They are always monitored…

Especially now, with a wide range of ways fictional stories and rumors can spread. Propaganda has become the go to fallacy in today's society. Like today, in the novel “1984” by George Orwell, Winston and Julia along with the rest of the population of Oceania, are faced with propaganda every day.
