Using the name big brother could bring a positive connotation. By making them feel comfortable it could counter the fear from the telescreens and thought police once again psychologically manipulating the
The Party controls its citizens with psychological pressures designed to overrun one's independent thought process. Every single person must love and conform to the Party and Big Brother, there are no exceptions. The love that the citizens have for Big Brother is produced out of their fear of the Party. Citizens must obey the Party and its demands because something as simple as having an opinion is frowned upon, which is clear when Orwell states that the “... smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself…” (62).
In the book 1984 by George Orwell, a man by the name of Winston wants to revolt against his government named big brother. He meets many people along the way that help him through his troubles, but is sadly brainwashed and turned for the government. In this novel, Big Brother uses many ways of surveillance to keep track of their citizens and keep them in line. Three ways they do this are telescreens, undercover cops, and having kids turn in their parents. To start off, Big Brother puts telescreens on almost every wall in the town.

Knowing everything down to their facial expressions and controlling their thoughts. However, the modern Big Brother is located in our home. Growing up, to a certain extent, was like living in Oceania. George Orwell’s prediction was quite accurate in the description of Big Brother. The location was incorrect, the true Big Brother is at home.
Everyone thinks everyone lives the same way, but the one thing that separates our harmony is privilege and power. This is a topic that struck a chord in the reading of George Orwell’s novel, 1984. In Orwell’s novel, the government called Big Brother is under control of people's lives and their freedom and society where the citizens are treated differently based on their allegiance and their status depending on what groups they are in. There are two groups which are the inner party and proles Members of the inner party favor the party’s ideology. The power and privilege they have because they are in charge.
The phrase ‘BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU” is used often used to remind citizens and employees that they are always being monitored. This high level of surveillance can only correlate with some level of paranoia of fearing of losing the nation and its people, only showcasing how truly fragile the system is and how easily it could be brought
Because of constant surveillance, the party and the big brother take away the citizens Freedom except proles. Orwell’s 1984 has portrayed the rules the Big Brother generated for citizens to follow to escape the torture and They are: no freedom of emotion. The Big Brother and the party presume that citizens should have no sympathy. It’s considered that without emotion, it would be much easier for/ about the totalitarian government to be under constant control of its citizens.
Big Brother watches the people belonging to the inner and outer party’s through a tele-screen that must remain on at all times. The screens are monitored by the Thought Police, the Thought Police have the
(Orwell, 180). Big Brother has created this “knowing” through fear. The outer Party has been taught that if they do not obey the Inner Party they will be vaporized. That fear has led them to believe that the Party and Big Brother has always been around, they always will be, and they know everything. This
George Orwell’s, 1984, is your typical novel about a dystopian world masquerading as a utopian society. In this novel, the main focus is about Big Brother, the government, always watching the citizens of Oceania. The citizens fear Big Brother, because any wrong step will get them killed. Winston, the protagonist of the novel, lost all previous fear because he knows they are already after him. Due to this, my prediction is that Winston will lead a rebellion against Big Brother.
Through multiple, immense posters tacked onto the walls of Victory Mansions, Big Brother asserts the overbearing hold that he has on citizens with the eerie message, “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU”. By taking a name that naturally brings with it the feelings of protection, warmth, and trust, we can see that Big Brother has been aptly named for his role as leader. Not only does he act as the protector, thus bringing comfort to the hearts of citizens across Oceania, but he also is the enemy and instills fear into those who dare to cross him. To the citizens, he can do no wrong since he is the one in charge. Even the message of being watched by Big Brother can be reassuring and frightening: reassuring to those who obey him and frightening to those who choose to stray away from him.
Many people might say that the privacy of modern day American citizens is being violated, that to similar to the world of 1984. The novel 1984 written by George Orwell is about a totalitarian government who oppresses its people and controls all aspects of their lives. The government is symbolized by Big Brother, people are monitored their entire day for flaws in their thinking towards Big Brother. I believe that privacy of American citizens is being violated and that people should not give up aspects of their personal privacy for greater good of society.
‘Big Brother is infallible and all-powerful.’ (216). Everywhere on the streets there were posters with ‘BIG BROTHER IS
“BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING” a phrase coined by George Orwell in his irrational view of how in 1984 the world would look. Maybe his thoughts weren’t so irrational though, maybe Orwell was predicting exactly what would happen to us. We now are facing our own 1984, where language is becoming simpler and simpler and Big Brother is now actually watching our every move. Even simply walking through the hallways can be considered suspect activity and can get you questioned, so at this point what is stopping us from becoming just like the Party members. Now we can be monitored through almost anything we do.
