...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...

...Garet Cauffiel Mr. Beedle English 4 16 October 2014 A Warning from the Past In writing 1984, Orwell's main goal was to warn of the serious danger totalitarianism poses to society. He demonstrates the terrifying degree of power and control a totalitarian regime can acquire and maintain. In such regimes, notions of personal rights and freedoms and individual thought are pulverized under the all-powerful hand of the government. Orwell exercises contradictions and paradoxes to display the dangers that could come in the future. The world of 1984 is a dark and morbid place, this theme of darkness helps carry the dystopian feel throughout the book. Orwell takes the events he was living through and magnifies them to a dystopian setting. The Party slogan “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength” (pg. 26) appears several times throughout the book and it is an example of how opposite the society is. This slogan is a clear indicator of the mind corruption of the party but at the same time each phrase bears a terrifying truth. War is Peace, without war, there can be no peace. Freedom is Slavery, without slavery we would not know of and crave freedom. Ignorance is Strength, in ignorance, you find the ability to create your strength. These contradictions are accompanied by many others, such as the four Ministries. The Ministry of Truth focuses on bending the past through destroying and rebuilding it, this would be considered lying but what the party claims is...

...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...
