In 1984 the government in control of Oceania was aiming for a total control over the population and their everyday lives. But a particularly important subset of that control was control of the mind. Any deviation is not tolerated and deemed ‘thoughcrime’. The government seeks unconscious adoption and adherence to orthodoxy; describing the future Styme says,
In the world of Oceania there are many control mechanisms that are used to keep the members of the society with the most power.. Winston Smith, the main character in George Orwell's 1948 novel “1984” demonstrates plenty of the ways Oceania controls. Prime examples of this would be their usage of propaganda, surveillance, and language control. The ways the party controls their society varies.
War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. These are the principles citizens of Oceania, in the novel 1984, by George Orwell, are forced to believe in. With the addition of literary devices, such as foreshadowing and diction, totalitarianism is exposed through the Party’s beliefs along with their love towards Big Brother.
Research Paper 1984 The people in George Orwell’s 1984 are dehumanized using many ways by the inner party. They have a hard life because they don’t know simple everyday things that we take for granted. When we show emotions and do what and think what we want it is something that the people of Oceania don’t have. They don’t have freedom from the government.

The citizens of Oceania are controlled in the sense of being watched; they must act and react in the ways that their government requires them to. Daily life situations, i.e. sleep, leisurely activities, etc. are all controlled by the Party. A big factor of its control is appearance. Appearance, in the novel, 1984, is important, for it determines the type of individual a person is and one’s class in society. An individual is restricted by what they can and cannot wear.
Sophia Han DeVito 4/21/2016 English 3-4 H America Isn’t As Perfect As It Seems On the surface, America is the righteous country helping other nations in need, however, if you dig a little deeper, you will see just how much America matches the dystopian fictions the average high-schooler is required to read. We know little of what is actually happening, but we act on what the media shows us. George Orwell wrote in his book, 1984, “’You are here because you have failed in humility, in self-discipline. You would not make the act of submission which is the price of sanity.
I will also analyse a country in which both models of dystopia seem to have their echoes. In ‘’1984’’ control is exerted through
Dystopian texts espouse a variety of didactic messages that depend significantly upon both the context and zeitgeist of the time in which they were created. Differences can be found when comparing the techniques and perspectives the authors have chosen to represent their contextual concerns to audiences. Together both Fritz Lang’s silent black and white film ‘Metropolis’ 1927 and George Orwell’s novel ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ (*referred to as 1984) 1948, confront and provoke audiences to consider the impact that (abusive power + unquestionable control= insert question statement) can have not only on the characters in these two texts, but also on the cultural and political lives of the reader and viewer. By subjugating & dehumanising the lower classes, dictators are
While similar in tone and mood, George Orwell’s 1984 and James McTeigue’s adaptation of Alan Moore’s V for Vendetta begin to diverge from one another with each piece’s ultimate goal. Orwell believes that once society shows signs of dystopia, it is damned forever, without any hope of redemption. Moore’s message disagrees with this, by arguing for the power in numbers against corrupt figureheads. Both set in a dystopian, totalitarian society, there seems to be little hope for London and Oceania in their respective smog-saturated and Big Brother-blazoned nations. The only hope for these dystopias lies in Winston and V, who arrive to stand up to a fascist regime and woo some unsuspecting manic-pixie dream girls while they’re at it.
Citizens of Oceania are constantly manipulated with fear to rely on the government for
The word emotion is recognized in today’s society as a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others. With this perception in mind, one can hypothesize that living in unsustainable, corrupted conditions can be the result of man feeling desensitized and unattached from society. Likewise, if man were to live in a utopia, his emotions would reflect that of happiness, contention, and a sense of belonging. Winston, the main character in Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, is a prime example of what control and isolation can due to the human mind. Him, as well as the masses of Oceania share monotony in not feeling raw emotion; their mental states of being are controlled and altered by a totalitarian,

Oceania from George Orwell’s 1984 is meant to be a utopian society, a community with near perfect qualities. Somewhere along the way, something went horribly wrong, and the leaders of Oceania became evil, and had to think of a plan to keep the citizens under control so that they could keep the peace. To those that are brain washed, life is treating them well. The brainwashed believe that the society is a utopia, but in reality it is the opposite; a dystopia. Throughout 1984 Orwell uses heavy symbolism, and also conflict to push the plot along, but also the characters.
After the civil war and the establishment of People’s Republic of China and Mao Zedong assuming power in 1949, poor China’s new government planners realized the need of socioeconomic development. As socialists, they decided to copy the successful socialist economic model of the Soviet Union which is their communist political resort. This socioeconomic development relied on: the “command economy” that mainly depended on the state’s governance and control over the resources allocation, the ownership of all important large factories and enterprises “cash caws”, dominant of the raw materials, nomenklatura system and agriculture with cheapest prices, price system control. All of that were resources to finance the prioritized “Big push industrialization”
