1984 Compare And Contrast

The idea about human to reconcile the uncertainties of the past with a new or present situation. Throughout the year I studied the texts about, novel 1984 by George Orwell, a film Good Will Hunting and Shakespeare's play Hamlet. In these texts because the characters' uncertainty about the past, they won’t succeed in future situations in their lives. I'm referring from the text of how these uncertainties can have an effect for these protagonists throughout the story until they reach tougher situations.

The society is trying to be utopian but the more we read the more we realize it's flaws. Things like freedom of choice and expression, love, happiness, music, and art are all things we associate with a utopian society that the novel is deprived of. These things where all removed for the sake of living, but the novel leaves us scratching our heads wondering if it is worth living a life that doesn't give us anything worth living for. Although I wouldn't go so far as to call it a dystopian society because they have got some things right. For instance ethnicity and religion play no role in society as they shouldn't. And they do live in total peace. A hidden message of the novel might be that you can't have sunshine without a little rain. In this case they have gone with the safe choice of having only

1984, a novel by George Orwell, represents a dystopian society in which the people of Oceania are surveilled by the government almost all the time and have no freedoms. Today, citizens of the United States and other countries are watched in a similar way. Though different technological and personal ways of keeping watch on society than 1984, today’s government is also able to monitor most aspects of the people’s life. 1984 might be a dystopian society, but today’s condition seems to be moving towards that controlling state, where the citizens are surveilled by the government at all times.

The propaganda and surveillance between the United States today and Oceania in 1984 is eerily similar in the way that someone is always looking over you. Oceania had telescreens, which is essentially a screen that not only shows propaganda but also watches your every move. This is similar to what we have today with our cell phones and laptops. There is technology where our devices can see and learn what we are looking at, and use that information to throw advertisements our way. Imagine if the government could use the same algorithm to track what we look at and report it to the FBI? As far as propaganda goes I see many similarities with the way Oceania would tell their citizens information or the lack there of, and the way our media outlets

There is a high probability that most people have heard of the saying, “Big Brother is watching you.” The saying comes from George Orwell’s book, 1984. A story which depicts a nightmarish view of society. Big Brother plays a key role throughout the novel for his surveillance state. Surveillance functions consistently in the dystopia, affecting the way individuals view themselves by their present day technology.

In general, the ability to think freely, have a variety of emotions, and express ourselves makes us human. In both “1984,” and often in our own society, these aspects of humanity are destroyed.

Since the beginning of humanity, there have always been the rulers, and the ruled. The rulers have always been the government, and the ruled has always been the people. One would believe that the government would be truthful and be interested in their people's well being, but clearly, this is not the case. In fact, lies are often more common than the truth. Facts are changed based on the governing party's current needs. The government wants to control their people, to have an unquestioning, thoughtless population that make them more powerful, as this is their main priority. As a generalisation, the government is more interested in their well-being than that of the people who drive it.

There are many similarities and differences between the government in both George Orwell’s book, 1984, and our present day government. It is the same way with both societies. The government and society in the book is very simple and the rules are straightforward. Our present government and society on the other hand is very complex and usome of the rules have gray areas. What both the society and government from both sides have in common is that they have a significant amount of violence. What makes the societies differ is that in ours more people have more access to resources while in the book people’s resources are very limited.

Personally, I believe that our society here in America is not as close to the society in 1984 as some believe it is. There are many reasons for this, but mainly we always have to remember that America has been a democracy at its heart for centuries and cannot simply change from that basis. Another reason I believe this is because of the American people and our ability to assert our nationalism. Finally, we aren’t all that close to the Orwellian society we saw in the novel because of the fact that we avoid war instead of staying in a constant war between the world powers just to keep our people under control. In my opinion, those are the biggest reasons for 2018’s

The vocabulary continually gets smaller. When the Eleventh Edition of the Newspeak Dictionary is finished, every needed concept will be expressed by exactly one word. All meanings will be rigidly defined. It will become impossible to commit Thoughtcrime.

A dystopia is an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or dreadful. It is typically a society that is limited to certain resources. In a dystopia, a society is usually controlled by the government and leaves no power to the people. Two examples of dystopias would be take place in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and in Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. They have an abundance of components in common, while there are also a few notable differences, each society has its own advantage, and the reactions would be different depending on what dystopia and the surroundings you are placed in.

There are lots of similarities between the novel “1984” and our world today. Here are a few main examples:

Both 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 predict a dystopian future where information is tightly controlled and the populace seems to care little for the fact that they are being lied to and manipulated into working for the ambitions of their government. Both governments in the story have taken control of the media and this the population, and both characters are apart of agencies that help keep the government in control of the people. In Fahrenheit 451 the man is a fireman and burns all of the books that he can find, this keeps the population dumb and easily controllable. In 1984 Winston works for the Ministry of Truth, its job is to help edit news and entertainment in order to keep the party in line and be able to misinform the prolls. Both of these characters unknowingly worked for the party and political establishment.

A dystopian society, usually illusory, is the reverse of an idyllic utopia: it is generally tyrannical and inhibited. Dystopian societies mirror our future- they are usually a hyperbolic familiar society with satirical exaggeration. This kind of literature is written to amend other people 's idea of the kind of society they should thrive for. As well as that, they are written to express their concerns about the future and humanity. Societies of this nature appear in many works of fiction, predominantly in novels set in a speculative future. Dystopian culture is often mused by societal collapse, dehumanization, poverty, and deprivation.
