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.

Privacy and Protection In George Orwell’s 1984, Big Brother exploits surveillance to spy on everything from people’s daily actions to the thoughts in their mind’s privacy (Orwell).

The government has been doing this behind the backs of Americans ever since 911. Just in recent years has this been made known publicly. In some occasions it is okay for the Government to work behind the public's back, but those occasions are far and few between. If large corporations were to obtain the extensive…

Americans are not entitled to privacy. The topic of privacy has been a widely discussed topic for centuries in the United States.

Individual privacy and national security are both important to citizens. Citizens have rights that back up their privacy called the Bill of Rights. The national security has its place in the law to protect the United States and its citizen from dangerous threats.
