Brainwashing In 1984

They even have tele-screens in every home and store to watch peoples every move. First of all it removes all the privacy of many people and removes their freedom to speak freely. They even have laws that may kill you if you speak, look, or even think of the party poorly. It is a warning that the government may manipulate the whole society in the future. 3.

They gained control pretty easily but now they will need to maintain that power. To do this, the government will ban things like books and psychological conversations which exercises the brain but without these intellectual discussions, people will just fall deeper in the already made hole by the government which will make everything worse. Those who offended these rules

Limiting the free thought of their citizens lets the government gain more control. Governments have now put censorship on our society to limit the obscene access our society

In the book 1984 the idea of doublethink is for a person to believe in two very different idea and to think that both of the the ideas are true. The Party has created the idea of doublethink so that they would be able to control Oceania. Doublethink is essential to the Party because it control the citizens of Oceania. The Party use doublethink to brainwash all the citizens and to make them believe in all the information that they what that citizen to believe instead of information in reality “doublethink the mutability of the past and denial of objective reality and to use Newspeak words”(page 196). The Party has also given the people of Oceania information that might have become useful for things the Party are trying to do, but when the Party

If someone dares to oppose them in any way, they are immediately silenced and in most cases killed in a way to make an example out of

Censorship allows for a unanimous opinion which can strengthen the country and

(5) The right of every individual for peaceful and undisturbed home-life shall be respected, however much the political parties or candidates may resent his political opinions or activities. Organizing demonstrations or picketing before the houses of individuals by way of protesting against their opinions or activities shall not be resorted to under any circumstances. (6) No political party or candidate shall permit its or his followers to make use of any individual’s land, building, compound wall etc., without his permission for erecting flag-staffs, suspending banners, pasting notices, writing slogans etc. (7) Political parties and candidates shall ensure that their supporters do not create obstructions in or break up meetings and processions organized by other parties. Workers or sympathisers of one political party shall not create disturbances at public meetings organized by another political party by putting questions orally or in writing or by distributing leaflets of their own party.

That is controlling how they think about certain topics. They use slogans everyday everywhere to get it stuck into your head so you don’t break that slogan or any rule, that is mind control as well. Or how about

This shows us an example of the extensive censorship in their society. Explaining how in their society they limit the amount of perspectives provided to the public. Further conveying their belief that giving people limited opinions and perspectives is the way to prevent unhappiness and debate. This does not allow people to properly form opinions and severely limits the knowledge of the public.

They can even go against the government. But censorship is against this idea. It limits the way people think and feel. In this case, people cannot express themselves. A country that is against the ideal of democracy is a dead country, such as Argentina in the 1970’s.

Orwell states, “If somehow you could cheat the telescreen and get him alone” (pg. 14). The telescreen is used as a symbol to represent the party’s motto that “Big Brother is always watching”. The telescreen is a perfect representation of the manipulation within the party. The party wants to be able to control everything going on and the only way they can do that is if they are able to see everything that is going on. The telescreen is like a security camera in a store.

Within the world of Oceana The Party controls everything, every thought, every action, every piece of clothing purchased. One of the mind programs that was enforced by the Party was something called “double think – which means that one simultaneously accepts two things that contradict each other and see them to be true.” This concept known as Double Think gives the government complete control.

In the novel 1984, by George Orwell, he uses truth and reality as a theme throughout the novel to demonstrate the acts of betrayal and loyalty through the characters of Winston and Julia. Orwell expresses these themes through the Party, who controls and brainwashes the citizens of Oceania. The party is able to control its citizens through “Big Brother,” a fictional character who is the leader of Oceania. Big Brother is used to brainwash the citizens into whatever he says. Orwell uses truth and reality in this book to reflect on what has happened in the real world such as the Holocaust and slavery.

However, thoughts are always to the Party’s advantage because of a brainwashing tactic called doublethink. Doublethink is the act of holding two contradicting beliefs and simultaneously believing and not believing both, depending on what is convenient for the Party. In a book Julia and Winston read on how the Party operates, doublethink is explained like this: “Doublethink lies at the very heart of Ingsoc, since the essential act of the Party is to use conscious deception while retaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty” (Orwell 214). Aiming to control thoughts, the Party has come up with a method in which they are always correct, no matter what the topic is. However, this will soon become superfluous.

However, as a result of the introduction of Internet and other forms of mass media, the CCP can now censor any content the Party wishes; this results in citizens only being able to see what the CCP approves, creating a new way for the CCP to control the minds and opinions of it’s citizens. The two most powerful media technologies, satellite television and the Internet, are fully controlled by the Chinese government. Every national media group, all 47 which include radio, television, and film, are state owned and state run by either the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) or the State Press and Publications Agency (SPPA), both of which are run by the The Central Propaganda Department of the CCP. Foreign satellite signals are also required to
