Examples Of Propaganda In 1984 By George Orwell

With the power hungry Party and the most acknowledged face of Big Brother watching and monitoring everybody, the story of “1984” by George Orwell expresses the utmost control over their people and have the absolute power with their country Oceania. The Party believes that Big Brother will live on forever, because of the constant removal of those who are unfaithful and the rewriting of history. However, with the example of the main character showing disobedience against the Party, there is a chance for this type of ruling to fail and be destroyed by the people. The main possible cause of the fall of Big Brother is most likely the underestimation of the power of the people.

Orwell brings attention to a futuristic government who controls practically everything and everyone. “Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past” (Orwell 248). This is one of the Party’s slogans which is used to present how the government chooses what the citizens believe in so that they can remain in control. Orwell created the slogan so he could show the Western readers how scary this type of government can

This is your victory! We are triumphant! In our long history, we have never had a more doublegood day than this. Our mission was carried out with the combination of precision, speed, accuracy and boldness that the enemy did not expect.

Nations all around the world are still healing from the wounds of twentieth century totalitarianism, yet more seems to be on the horizon. In his 1984 magnum opus, George Orwell warns future generations of the many dangers of allowing government, or the powerful few, from being the chiefs of law expression and history using the eerie, all-powerful dystopian Party. Unfortunately, it is a warning few have truly heeded in the past half century. Resulting from a lack of written laws, the Party may prosecute its citizens relentlessly and without reason. Moreover, the Party maintains an iron grip on all published information, ensuring a death hold on all free expression and education. Yet, above all, the Party controls history; it rewrites, revises and republishes the past to secure their totalitarian future. In spite of these warnings, the decades following the publication of this novel saw nations continue on the

Your world is not real. Kennedy was never assassinated, Michael jackson has actually always been white, and subway is certainly NOT always fresh. Stop thinking you are free, you’re not. Okay, I’m just kidding. But am I really? Because sometimes subway really just sucks. Questioning. With this, through his work ‘Nineteen Eighty Four’, George Orwell has brought to my attention that I should be occasionally thinking for myself rather than constantly abiding by what I’m told is right. More specifically, ‘Nineteen Eighty Four’ suggests the plentiful ways that people can be oppressed in a totalitarian society will result in the loss of humanity and failure to rebound from the government’s control. These forces inhibit and encourage individuals’ actions and is described in the novel by the abundant use of technology combined with psychological manipulation. Orwell also uses symbols and metaphor to explain consequences of totalitarianism on a deeper level.

Furthermore, in “1984” the main character Winston realizes that their government dictates the history keeping the citizens uninformed to a life with freedom. The ignorance of the people relinquishes the citizen’s freedom and power to the party. Winston points out that this countenances them to manipulate the people, “who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past” (Orwell 360). When The Party is able to control the history they are able to manipulate their citizens to believing that the government that is being practiced is appropriate

Literary devices such as foreshadowing, irony, and symbolism are prevalent throughout 1984.

Some governments in the world today restrict their people from talking bad about the government itself. The main government, also referred to as “The Party”, in George Orwell’s 1984 takes this concept and amplifies it, even the smallest facial movement could have you thrown in jail and tortured. There are many ways The Party keeps the citizens of Oceania in line; children spies, rewriting history, police that arrest people just for thinking that the government is wrong, and the most prevalent of all telescreens. The Party’s telescreens is one of the best ways The Party can control the masses. These telescreens not only keep watch of anyone in their view, they also play propaganda.

In 1984 propaganda is misleading information used to promote or publicize a person’s point of view, it can be used to harm a person, group of people or a movement. It is mostly made up of false information and rumors. Propaganda is used in 1984 to manipulate the citizens so that they don’t think of rebelling against the party at any time.

During the George W. Bush administration, media used Osama Bin Laden as propaganda to instigate hatred among Americans, showing him as the responsible of the 9/11 attacks and exhibiting him as a common enemy between the Americans and the United States government.

The novel 1984 is a dystopic novel, because the government uses propaganda and subliminal messages to control citizens. Oceania's government is constantly manipulating citizens to hate rebellion daily in the two minutes hate, " As usual, the face of Emmanuel Goldstein (Orwell 14)", appears on the telescreens. The parties main goal for the two minutes hate is to make citizens hate rebellion, since Emmmanuel rebelled against the government, and by making "him the enemy of the people (Orwell 14)", the Party is also making people hate Emmanuel the party is also making people hate the idea of rebellion. The party also uses subliminal messages to control the citizens of oceania, with the creation of Newspeak which makes it "literally unthinkable (Orwell 327)" to go against the party using words, because they have eliminated all words that allow people to challenge the party.

An individual’s worldview is everything. It determines how one interacts with other members of society, it shapes one's beliefs and morals, and it even encompasses all of an individual’s knowledge and perspective. A government, like the one seen in 1984, ultimately possesses the power to conform every individual world view into that of a mindless, government worshiping, drone, by using censorship to its advantage. Unfortunately the American society is racing toward the same fate because of the extensive use of censorship on the radio, television, and even in schools. In order to prevent a society like that in 1984 it is imperative that that citizens stop censorship in its tracts; especially when it hinders the development of the children’s worldview.

Throughout the novel, 1984 by George Orwell, the author and the society of Oceania constantly tries to and succeeds in creating and maintaining the members of society’s devotion towards becoming and being a perfect Party member.

The dream of a perfect society is a vision people desire. This aspiration can go wrong with the possibility of a totalitarianism rule imminent.

What if every move made or action taken was watched on a screen? In the story 1984 written by George Orwell has a theme given by the over aching government. The conflict of this novel comes from the oppression and controlling ways of the government. The protagonist of this story named Winston had troubles wrapping his head around their conniving ways, and yet though illegal had a quite complicated yet interesting relationship with a lady named Julia.
