1984 is a book by George Orwell about a dystopian world where citizens of that world seem to have lost all of their humanity to essentially become robots worshipping their master, Big Brother. While the book is a fictional book published in the late 1940s, some of the points in the book have already seem to be a part of modern society and no one is worried about it. Some of the aspects of the book that are closely similar to today’s society include the prevalence of unjustified mob hatred, designation of one person or group to have full control over everything, and invasion of privacy that no one seems to notice. While many of these aspects seem to normal in the lives of those living in the present day, if more of the troubling parts of the

The late 20th century brought upon changes to the world that it should have seen coming; the world came to a turning point in many different aspects including new political bodies, privacy issues, violence, and most importantly, the power over the lives of the people increased. Many world-changing events that range from scientific breakthroughs to terrorism attacks change, oppress, and limit people in the world; and allow others to take advantage of the situation. These events deprive the people of their privacy, cause them to be effortlessly influenced, and absorb the lies in the world very easily. But this is nothing new as it was envisioned 51 years before the 21st century. Through George Orwell’s 1984 – which was written in 1949 – the reality the people of the world are shown and the reality that citizens are living in 1984 are slowly becoming one. The figure of Big Brother is an overpowering personification of control.

As human beings, there are distinct characteristics that separate us from feral animals; the ability to create, to appreciate art, to curiously question the world and most importantly to sympathize for our kind. However, when that exact nature is stripped from us, we tend to become mindless, restricted, cold, and degraded as an entire race. This is the setting of George Orwell’s last book, 1984. A world where human thought is limited, war and poverty lie on every street corner, and one cannot trust nobody or nothing. It is all due to the one reigning political entity, the Ingsoc Party, who imposes complete power over all aspects of life for all citizens. There is no creative or intellectual thought, no art, culture or history, and no

Picture this: a totalitarian environment in which privacy does not exist. A world in invisible chains, chains that seem to help the enchained. Sound familiar? This is from the book 1984, by George Orwell. Despite the year of 1984 long being passed, that certain society is quickly approaching, and it all starts with companies collecting information about you. You may know that companies collect information and that almost every single one has been hacked.

George Orwell, along with several other famous authors, has significant interest in the English language, along with the power of language in general. Orwell discovers that language has the power to distort the truth and deceive people, and, in 1984, he uses language in order to draw awareness to the power of language collectively. Orwell achieves this by placing a great emphasis on Newspeak and the effects of the Party’s media in his novel, 1984. By revealing the recurring abuse of language by the Party and its media, Orwell demonstrates exactly how language can be utilized to deceive and manipulate people. In 1984, it has led to a society in which the people incontestably yield to their government — which in this case is the Party — and numbly accept all of the Party’s propaganda as if it were the truth. In 1984, language itself has become a powerful tool in the process of brainwashing, with the Party’s eventual goal being the decimation of free-will, expression, and the ability to imagine.
