436 Words2 Pages

War is Peace may seem inaccurate, but in the novel 1984, this was a slogan that was well-adapted to the lives of citizens living in Oceania. The party had created this slogan to show that war is something that is well-needed in a society. Many posters would be hung up stating that War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength, but the government had done this purposely to change the mindset of the citizens. War is Peace is an ironic slogan to the terrible society in Oceania. Oceania had been in war with Eurasia for a very long time now, and many kids grew up with the commotion of war.

The Leagues teach children Party ideals such as chastity and loyalty. As Winston observes, “Chastity was as deeply ingrained in them as Party loyalty. By carefully early conditioning, by games and cold water, by the rubbish that was dinned into them at school and in the Spies and the Youth league, by lectures, parades, songs, slogans, and martial music, the natural feeling had been driven out of them” (Orwell 68).
