1984 AND Today

1. No one has no privacy, in 1894 they have telescreens that watch everyone, and in the world now there is the Internet where people display their personal information, like twitter, facebook, and videos on YouTube.

2. We all have a common enemy. In 1984 they all have 2 minuets of hate and hate week, a picture od Goldstien and the eurasian army show up and images of people they are suppose to hate and they all get together and go crazy. The news today does about the same thing. The government today has control to create a war with anyone they want making them the common enemy.

3. Way of Life. In 1984 and today the country changes their opinion and expects everyone to change theirs as well. In 1984 they can go back and change the past to refine the future even though people remember what they terminated they aren't suppose to remember.

4. Newspeak: In 1984 they use newspeak to dumb down everyone and make them equal. In today's society definition are becoming more general. keeping every thing dumb down or general makes everyone more equal and not as smart as the government.

5. Entertainment: in 1984 and today we are distracted by entertainment. Sports, games,lottery, tv, and other activities distract us from the problems in the world and the government.
