George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four 1984 :: essays research papers

1984     I think that todays society is a "half adjustment" of George Owells novel,1984, in some ways it is similar and in others, uniquely different. The circumferentwe come today to a "Big Brother" is the plurality. The people argon also controlled bywatchful security cameras and subliminal messages. However, something in animatenesstoday is very different from that of 1984, it is the people. In the words of thefamous lyricist, " tycoon to the People."     In analyzing "Big Brother," there are similarities between it and themob. The Mafia is a crime family that can see everything, there is no goingagainst the mob or else soulfulness is going to die.

This is too risky, to think that a persons actionsand emotions can be swayed by someone elses perversions. Again, this is verysimilar to 1984.     Of all the things there are today that would make it impossible forthere to be an inner or outer party, as in 1984, is that there is each other.No matter how hard our political sympathies tries, they cannot reach everyone. Contrary to1984, where they do get everyone, I feel that was fundamental and unlikely. I findit highly unlikely that a form of politics can find a way to get the whole
