Research Paper On 1984 By George Orwell

Do you believe that everything you see/hear is real? Or are you skeptical of most of the information you hear? Now, many individuals greatly believe that reality isn’t always as it seems and they tend to be skeptical of all the information they intake unless it’s something not important or relatable. The point of this question was because in the book “1984” by George Orwell, the character in the book lives in a world where all he sees goes through a filter or aka “reality-control” and in order to attribute to this reality control the citizens in this government need to “Double think” or else they will get punished for remembering. Reality control exists and it exists in different methods and it is being used in American and North Korean by

After getting caught by the thought police you get tortured, disappeared from society, and get forced to believe what they are doing is right and then later on killed, no one can avoid getting killed but these are strict rules that are inflicted upon the people, but no one does anything to try and revolt because of fear of dying and disappearing. Now, compared to the world today. The world today is close to that aspect except not as harsh and it is done in secret or at least not being done in the public eye. Now, this is a controversial topic, but it is a fact that the U.S. Government tries to silence people with money or death threats if they need to, and it is also a fact that big corporations control the media we watch, for example “In 2019, a landscape of private companies so large it is almost uncountable, monitors, monetizes and manipulates us.” (Leetaru). Many individuals don’t believe in these facts because those individuals prefer not to know, because they actually don’t see the corruption or the evil acts, or they’re terrified about what might happen if they do. The media we see in today’s age is very filtered and some ideologies are pushed up to the main stories rather than others to the point where news outlets have bias’s to their reports but they don’t make it clear until you read between the lines. “A 2019 survey found that more than 80% of Americans felt there was “a great deal” or “a fair

Meanwhile, the European Union’s “Right to be Forgotten” grants ordinary citizens the ability to wipe clean society’s memories of their past, allowing them to be “reborn” without the burden of their past transgressions.” (Leetaru). In the book 1984 there are offices that do this and only this. The purpose of these offices is to rewrite history or to erase it even when it includes people the party has killed; they will erase them from history. The people who work in that department use “Double-Think” to forget what they’re doing so they wouldn’t remember what they are erasing. Now the government is basically doing the same thing, but in this case, they don’t just forget about erasing this person out of their history. Many would expect the government to keep records of these individuals past lives and who they are, but we really wouldn’t know. One radio network is wired into most residences and workplaces. This carries news and commentary that is considered too sensitive for consumption outside North Korea, such as criticising economic activities that are inconsistent with national policy. Reports from refugees say that there are also those who take the risk of opening the preset radios in order to be able to
