In 1984 people were not forced to do anything, they just didn't speak out against the party knowing that if they did then they would be hanged as a political or war criminal. This is because, in the book 1984 on page 126,

1984 by George Orwell is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. Often times, I ponder what the future holds for humanity, and technology, privacy, and government power always float around in my head.
