The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a turning point in WWII. They led to the surrender of the Japanese and the victory to the Allies. The day that the Japanese surrendered will forever be remembered. However, the destruction and casualties in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki cannot be forgotten. Hiroshima and Nagasaki experienced massive destruction, and it led to years of disease and misery for the Japanese people following the war. After WWII and the creation of the atomic bomb, the world lived in fear of a nuclear attack ("The Atomic Bombings").

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.

George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is the ultimate negative utopia. Written in 1949 as an apocalyptic vision of the future, it shows the cruelty and pure horror of living in an utterly totalitarian world where all traces of individualism are being abolished. This novel was composed to denounce Hitler?s Germany and Stalin?s Russia and to create a warning to the rest of the world. It takes the reader through a year in the life of Winston Smith as he transforms from a rebel to a fanatic of totalitarianism.

Nobody can disagree with the fact that George Orwell’s vision, in his book 1984, didn’t come true. Though many people worried that the world might actually come to what Orwell thought, the year 1984 came and went and the world that Orwell created was something people did not have to worry about anymore. Many people have wondered what was happening in Orwell’s life and in his time that would inspire him to create this politically motivated book. A totalitarian world where one person rules and declares what is a crime and what is not, is something many people would have been scared of a lot. The totalitarianism in 1984 is very similar to the Nazism that was occurring in Germany with Hitler. This could have been the key thing that motivated

1984 has all types of fiction: science fiction, social science fiction, political fiction, and dystopian fiction. Two of the biggest and most apparent types of fiction in this novel is dystopian and political fiction. The whole novel is set in this dystopian world where the government controls most all things that the people think, say, or do. They are all forced to use a whole new vocabulary in order to cut down on the citizens saying things against the government. Not only that but the government is referred to as Big Brother, and branching off of Big Brother are the Ministries of Truth, Love, Plenty, and Peace. They control education, maintaining the laws and keeping order to the people, and they control what is allowed to be seen as far as media and fine

The book 1984 is a prediction of what the world would be like in the future. The prediction of the future in this book was made all by the writer's imagination. In reality, there are a few scenarios that are evident in today’s society that the writer predicted. For example, in 1984 there is a lot of invasion of privacy that occurs. Although in the book it is much more serious than today, there are times that the government is able to invade your privacy if they have a warrant or if there is suspicion. A serious case that caused issues for many people is when the government was accused of tapping into phones to try and stop terrorists. Many people found this to be a serious invasion of privacy, while others found it settling that the government was trying to protect the nation.

1984 is a cautionary tale. A cautionary tale is a tale that is told in a folklore, to warn they people reading of danger. There are three different parts to a cautionary tale, though they can be introduced in a lot of different ways. What I think about whether or not we as a society have taken his cautions into account is good. Letting the government what to think. They are taking information from 1984 and having yourself and not letting anyone else tell you what yo say. Your getting information right from a source for you to make before you create an opinion about it. 1984 is about the government controlling what you say. I think it's a cautionary tale because it is telling you

1984 creates a world ruled with an iron fist crushing any semblance of resistance or any actions less than complete devotion to The Party. They achieve this through a number of tactics the first and foremost being constant surveillance. Telescreens are omnipresent; they constantly transmit and receive both audio and video having a strong psychological effect on the citizens. They know, or at least believe, that they are constantly under the scrutiny of the thought police. This idea is confirmed from time to time in different ways; one day during the physical jerks, the mandatory

1984, Orwell’s last and perhaps greatest work, deals with drastically heavy themes that still terrify his audience after 65 years. George Orwell’s story exemplifies excessive power, repression, surveillance, and manipulation in his strange, troubling dystopia full of alarming secrets that point the finger at totalitarian governments and mankind as a whole. What is even more disquieting is that 1984, previously considered science fiction, has in so many ways become a recognizable reality.

Things to know: 1984 was a book written about life under a totalitarian regime from an average citizen’s point of view. This book envisions the theme of an all knowing government with strong control over its citizens. This book tells the story of Winston Smith, a worker of the Ministry of Truth, who is in charge of editing the truth to fit the government’s policies and claims. It shows the future of a government bleeding with brute force and propaganda. This story begins and ends in the continent of Oceania one of the three supercontinents of the world. Oceania has three classes the Inner Party, the Outer Party and the lowest of all, the Proles (proletarian). Oceania’s government is the Party or Ingsoc (English Socialism

1984 is complex in the way it was written, the society has a sort or language it seems called doublethink. Doublethink is a backwards thing it makes things that are usually said the opposite of what they are usually, in example in

The book 1984 depicts a society unimaginable to most; however, a further look shows us that we actually do live in an Orwellian society. Orwell describes a country called Oceania made of multiple continents which is ruled by the dictatorial “Big Brother” who uses different systems like the “thought police” and “telescreens” in order to have full control over the country. Our democratic government, through organizations such as the NSA and NGI, can look through our most private conversations and moments using spyware. Due to the secrecy of the government, citizens in 1984, as well as those in our society, fear the government.

The novel 1984 made me paranoid and suspicious of the government's power and intentions. I became aware of the potential manipulation of which the government could impose upon us. The very thing which I depend on for security and protection may be a conniving entity which feeds off of it’s own power and corruption. As I flourished in my naivety, I was unaware that the people I trusted, whom I believed to be wholly dedicated to our well-being as a society, could betray us at any moment they see fit. I gravely overlooked the potential and the power that the government has to rule us. In fact, they may have been conspiring against us this whole time, using us as pawns in their quest for ultimate authority. As a

When first published, 1984 was viewed as an absurdly fictional novel. Readers thought that the ideas presented were exaggerated and would never be reality. However, it is exceedingly evident that it is no longer such a stretch of the imagination. In many places around the world, small and seemingly insignificant changes are being made that signify a slide toward totalitarianism. The first practice that makes this change seem apparent in the future is the use of hidden surveillance cameras. These seem to be consistent with the telescreens used in the novel. Most Wanted, a television show that displays suspected criminals and Crime Stoppers, a program put in place that allows citizens to

War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength. The party slogan of Ingsoc illustrates the sense of contradiction which characterizes the novel 1984. That the book was taken by many as a condemnation of socialism would have troubled Orwell greatly, had he lived to see the aftermath of his work. 1984 was a warning against totalitarianism and state sponsored brutality driven by excess technology. Socialist idealism in 1984 had turned to a total loss of individual freedom in exchange for false security and obedience to a totalitarian government, a dysutopia. 1984 was more than a simple warning to the socialists of Orwell's time. There are many complex philosophical issues buried deep within
