...George Orwell’s 1984 Winston lives in the nation of Oceania, where he is a member of the ruling party in London. Oceania is a totalitarian society with an extremely comprehensive, nationwide surveillance system. In this society, even thinking rebellious thoughts is punishable by death. Winston is increasingly frustrated with rigid regime of the party and purchases an illegal diary in which he can write his prohibited thoughts. Entangled in such criminal affairs he starts fixating on an influential Party member called O’Brien, whom he believes is a member of a secret association that aims to overthrow the party. Meanwhile, he notices a female coworker looking at him and worries that she might be an informant for the thought police. On the contrary, he eventually realizes that she loves him and they commence a relationship. Together they plan to rebel against the oppressive party and seeks aid at O’Brien’s. Yet, it turns out that O’Brien is loyal to the Party and ends up torturing Winston into not only betraying Julia but also submitting himself to the Party and its sometimes-contradictory truths. In his famous novel, Nineteen Eighty-four from 1949, George Orwell succeeds in depicting a dark, dystopian society way ahead of his time. With an ingenious ability to predict future events and technology, not seen since the time of Jules Verne, Orwell warns the western world of the danger of totalitarian states by describing a nation of inhabitants living under absolute surveillance...

...Bill O'Reilly once said "the more laws the government passes, the less individual freedom there is". This is suggesting a very good representation of a totalitarian government, where the more laws passed the more power the government possesses. Although the laws and government actions may seem beneficial to the citizens, the party manipulates the citizens with these enforcements and actions to maintain power in 1984 by George Orwell. The party uses technology to make people stay in order and not rebel against the laws of the society. The way that the party uses public confinement allows the government to control society. The government constantly makes the citizens afraid of the party and each other so that the citizens will not rebel if they do not like something. The party stays in control because of the technology they use to manipulate the citizens. Continuous warfare is a mechanism that the party uses to dominate. By being in continuous warfare, the party needs technology built so they can participate in the war. The party needed a way to keep the people hard at work without increasing the wealth in the world. Bombs and other material “must be produced, but they need not be distributed. And in practice the only way of achieving this was by continuous warfare” (Orwell 190-191). The party makes the citizens create bombs and other warfare equipment constantly because the war never ends. This is an illusion to make it seem like the party and the people are on the...

...society based on hate can survive, it is highly unlikely. In 1984, by George Orwell, the party kept the people under full control by brainwashing them. This is not realistic because in today’s world someone, whether it be another government or the people living in this society, would end it. People of today have been taught that they have rights and if those rights are taken away, something isn’t right. There are many examples on why a society could not thrive purely on hatred, some of which are present in 1984, The Lives of Others, and the real world. The society Winston and Julia live in in 1984 is a society based on hate. The evidence to back that up would include O’Brien, at the end of the novel, telling Winston there is no reason for the horrible things the party does to the people, including complete oppression, torture, and brainwashing. They do it because they can, because they have the power to and they want to prove to themselves that, no matter what, the people will not revolt. One may think this futuristic, fictional society did last forever, but there is evidence from the appendix stating otherwise. In the appendix, when explaining newspeak, it is described as the language that “was” present in Oceania. One could conclude that Big Brother eventually fell. That alone is substantial evidence to prove a society based on hate, Oceania, could not survive. From the explanation and hints given that the proles in 1984 could easily revolt and overthrow the government, I would...

...Social Stratification Classes and Castes. Class is the primary way in which people approach social stratification. The upper class (the landed gentry, the titled nobility, and members of the royal family) has roughly the same social position it has had since the nineteenth century, when the middle classes began to compete successfully with the landed interests for influence. However, the upper class lost official political influence (and credibility) in the twentieth century. The major change in England's social identity structure has been the shrinking number of workers in manufacturing and the increasing number of people who work in service industries. White-collar and other service workers have replaced blue-collar workers as England's economic backbone. Consequently, the middle class has increased in size and wealth, and home ownership has increased, while union membership has declined dramatically, along with the size of the traditional industrial working class. Most workers expect unemployment at some point in their careers, especially the unskilled and uneducated. In 1983, only 5 percent of non-manual workers were unemployed. In contrast, skilled manual workers experienced 12 percent and semi-skilled and unskilled manual workers 23 percent unemployment, and manual workers combined accounted for 84 percent of the unemployed. England is becoming a society of the included and the excluded. There has been a sharp rise in long-term unemployment. The nature of work in a fluid...
