In Orwell’s 1984 the country of Oceania privacy is non-existing. Everything is monitored either by cameras inside "telescreens" or hidden microphones used to control Anti-Party actions. This is similar to America's government, in today's society, everyone is subject to the possibility of being spied on by the government through the vast amount of cameras we face in our everyday lives.

They also argue that even if you had a right to privacy you couldn’t have true privacy in today’s world. To give some…
In 1984 by George Orwell, technology is used in real life today. There are many ways technology could be used, in that book technology is now early more advanced than it is now in real life.

Freedom is a concept that allows people to have the right to perform anything they wish with no restraints, unless if it is against the law, or against the community’s beliefs and ethics. Limitless boundaries may seem like the ideal freedom where people are free doing anything. But I believe limitless freedom instead restricts your overall freedom, because with unlimited freedom, nobody will risk anything, which restricts the amount of actions they choose to perform. Colin Kaepernick was a…
Everyone has rights according to the US Constitution. The Patriot Act takes away those rights. The rights to have freedom of association, privacy and more. Rights are being threaten. The Patriot act has taken things way too far which led to many cons. The Patriot Act was passed on October 26, 2001 with a little debate by Members of Congress.

It’s not acceptable for the government and large companies to receive personal information without a warren or a legally documented yes from the user of the…
One warning expressed through 1984 is the use of devices called “telescreens” to keep track of everyone’s actions. He warns that surveillance voids basic human rights and must be eliminated. I think forced surveillance is a complete invasion of privacy. Today, it is easier than ever to own surveillance equipment. Surveillance equipment is cheaper, easier to use, and more easily hidden. Humans have a…
