Books are generally banned or challenged because a person or group objects the main idea or portions of the book. The banning removes the material from the community whereas a challenge is an attempt to ban a book in an area, and these book bannings are often considered a violation of freedom of speech. An example of a book that was banned is 1984 by George Orwell. This book involves the titular character Winston, and his accomplice, Julia, attempting to take down a monolithic government that surveils everyone’s movements. Within the story, Winston had the job of changing previous news to
Have you ever read a banned book before? I recently read the banned book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Although the book was amazing, I can see why and also agree that Fahrenheit 451 should be censored for those not in high school. Overall, the book was cataclysmic as it contained several inappropriate and violent themes that would give people a concern to censor it.
Appearing at Number 8 on the Radcliffe Publishing Course list of “Banned and/or Challenged Books Top 100 Novels of the 20th Century”, 1984, written by George Orwell in 1949, continues to be a controversial novel. The novel's most recent successful banning occurred in Jackson County, Florida in 1981, for its pro-communist views and explicit sexual matter (“Banned”). Despite its critical praise and awards, this novel has been challenged as an inappropriate book for school libraries and classroom reading. When those who mount these challenges take words and passages out of context to illustrate their outrage, they misinterpret the content and intention of their work. Orwell has written a well-crafted and thought provoking novel-- a work
Emma Breidenbach Prof. Weatherill English 1021 March 1, 2023 Constitution Essay First Amendment in Oceania Essay In George Orwell’s 1984, Oceania lacks so many freedoms from the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution, that even on, such as Amendment One, the part about Freedom of Speech, would help the economy of Oceania so much.

I am writing to you today concerning the potential banning of 1984 by George Orwell. I believe that 1984 was unfairly challenged, and should be on the shelves today, tomorrow, and forever. The first challenging of 1984 happened in Jackson, Florida. 1984 was banned due to the fact that it had sexual content and was apparently “pro-communist”.
Agreeing with Jessenya, this is all the kids know, as Winston has seen the development of the Party and has experienced life before. Although he doubts if it's fact versus fiction at times. Having the program, such as the Youth League, is the norm for kids growing up under the influence Big Brother. As it is for kids in America to go to school and learn given curriculum. Only the children's curriculum is propaganda , in the book 1984.The kids are easier to influence as they haven't experienced alot, for experiences can mold oneself and their values.
Moderation of expression, a significant part in 1984’s government, “Ingsoc”, plays a key element in America’s division. The “Ministry of Truth” is a branch of Ingsoc’s government that acts with controlling the Thought Police, and they censor the world’s history as well. They also use technology such as the “telescreen” to see and hear everywhere in the country. If a citizen is caught acting in “Thought Crime”, that criminal is rehabilitated through brainwashing in the mockingly named “Ministry of Love” (Orwell 2-4). Similar to Ingsoc’s “Ministry of Truth”, the United States has its own federal spying organization.
To "censor" is to review something and to choose to remove or hide parts of it that are considered unacceptable. Censorship is the name for the process or idea of keeping things like obscene word or graphic images from an audience.

News can spread rapidly in a world of 8 billion people and hundreds of messaging, communications, and social media platforms. In George Orwell’s 1984, readers can see the effects of complete government censorship from books to the news. Whether it's from the government or private entities, censorship and misinformation exist. The First Amendment of the Constitution states that government agencies and officials are forbidden from restricting information based on viewpoint or content.
History has shown us that books considered controversial in their time often become invaluable contributions to literature and social progress. Works like "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee and "1984" by George Orwell, initially met with resistance and censorship, have since become revered classics that shed light on important social
I believe that America is in danger of becoming a society like 1984. I think this because there are tell tale signs. Examples of censorship in America is looking at us in the eye, the government and news agencies. The second major issue that affects everyone in one way or another is public surveillance. The third and final comparison is the idea of endless war.

Nineteen-eighty-four is set in the city of Oceania, which is under the oppressive government regime of the party Big Brother, which maintains control of its citizens through constant surveillance via telescreens and Thought Police.

The circuit of culture is the model by Stuart Hall, which shows that culture gathers meanings at five different moments. These five moments include regulation, identity, production, representation and consumption. In this essay, I will be exploring the television series ‘Big Brother’, the international reality series created by Jon De Mol. The show based on the prominent character in George Orwell’s book ‘1984’. I will also be considering how each of these moments play a part in the media form, and the issues that might arise at each point in the circuit.
In George Orwell’s novel 1984, A theme of violation of human rights is thoroughly present, from violation of privacy, violation of the freedom of speech and religion, and the loss of humanity in general from the ever present form of Big Brother. As the villain of the novel, Big Brother- who represents the government -has absolute control over the citizens’ lives. While 1984 effectively conveys the dangers of a totalitarian government, Orwell’s predicted society is not present in today’s world. Comparatively speaking, the United States of America has more rights and freedoms than Orwell’s Oceania, but in some cases the rights of the citizens must be violated for safety reasons and other justifiable causes. Orwell’s novel 1984 paints a picture
