Celebrities have already lost their privacy and also human should be equal in front of the law and god, so celebrities should not face stricter penalties. Celebrities certainly have more influence on people because they are public figures. Celebrities lived in the public, so when they committed crimes their punishment will also show on the television news and newspaper everywhere. People can easily saw the consequences and warn themselves not to do the same thing.
Language is used in many different ways in today’s world, with two examples being PC and political language. Both of these styles of speech are used to change the original word choice. PC language, also known as politically correct language, revolves around trying not to offend any group in society. It is a censorship of possibly offensive words or language that could disadvantage any group of people in society. People who employ this take out insults and slurs that are used to exclude others-like changing words such as retarded to mentally disabled-to get their point across.
The Anthem’s society brain washing of their citizens was an easy way to remove their individuality. In Anthem the society brain washed their citizens into thinking their societies way of life was
George Orwell is quoting that power is all that Winston needs, but power is not what he has to destroy Big Brother. Winston's determination does not fail to keep him from protesting against the party. O’Brien begins to show images of Winston body to him to push his limits. Winston continues to blame him for the way his body looks due to the beating and torturing. O’Brien then states to Winston, “This is what you accepted when you set yourself up against the party.
Tv/ media is also a frequent motif throughout and it’s appearance draws our attention to the importance of media in controlling and convincing people. Yes, people are willing to submit to government. Even George, who is intelligent, is a law abiding citizen when it comes to removing weights from himself, even when the reader is led to believe that if not for his handicap and the grip of government control that he would ultimately come to the conclusion that the system is flawed. The idea of equality which is spread through the powerful tool that is the media, practically brainwashes people into tolerating the misery that is a world without good music, art, dance, ect. and constant physical and mental discomfort.
They function by showing their supporters images of the corrupt western world, such as portions of Donald Trump’s videos where he says something that is ignorant or they make promises of a better life, which is undeniably false. In 1984, the narrator states that “there were whispered stories of a terrible book….of which Goldstein with the author” and the narrator also says that THE BOOK was a subject that no Party member would mention. By telling the public that the Big Brother has a book that is terrible book and suggesting that the Party’s totalitarian way is the best way, this makes the population of Oceania believe that this is what’s best for them by using Propaganda. In both examples, these groups use the ignorance of the population in order to fool them out of a democracy and causes people to support the promise of a better life.
Many readers will easily recognize the expression "Big Brother Is Watching You." It is a reference from Orwell 's novel 1984 in which the country of Oceania tries their best to destroy the past and remake the future. Oceania tries many things to keep their people quiet and repressed so they cannot question the government 's authority. One example of how the government represses their people can be explained by the slogan Ignorance is Strength. "Ignorance is Strength" has played a significant role is George Orwell 's 1984.
Although the lack of a strong government may cause havoc within the country, an overwhelming abundance of governmental power will lead to the oppression of citizens, whether it be by law or from society. 1984 starts off with an explanation as to how the government attempts to take control of the minds and bodies of its citizens, through a wide variety of methods. One prominent example of the government attempting to regulate the mental state of people is the Thought Police, who uses technology, such as the telescreen, to invade the privacy of the country 's residents.
It can be seen from different angles since many countries are determined to live in a free expression society but others want to enforce censorship in many situations. Countries that are against censorship is mainly because it can be very powerful in the sense that it can control what is shown on the news. It may present false statements and mislead the people in to believing things that are not true. If censored, everything would have to pass first through the government, and they may change some stories to please them. This can lead to only showing favoritism for certain brands or groups; companies may get to control the information that gets to the country.
First of all, as started in the above paragraph, the language a person speaks influences how they view the world around them. The Newspeak language was a language developed to replace the Oldspeak language, which was just Standard English language. It was developed because the Party in power discouraged independent thinking and wanted to limit the range of thought. The party did not want the people of Oceania to think about anything else diverging from the Party’s principles and believes, and there was no better way of achieving that than developing a language that everyone would use on a daily basis.
In both 1984 by George Orwell, and The Veldt by Ray Bradbury, the themes presented are both able to present a clear warning to the readers of the power of technology, and the damaging power it can have on our lives. In Part 1 of 1984, The Inner Party establishes a facade of protection to gain control over Oceania and the citizens. This is mainly achieved through the technological advances that gives The Party authority over people 's actions because of the 24/7 surveillance of their every move. At the beginning of the novel, protagonist Wilson says “the instrument (telescreens) could be dimmed but there was no way of shutting it off altogether” (8). These telescreens are used to minimise the amount of Thoughtcrime, which, in Oceania, violates
This can turn dangerous as some many feel they are deserving of more, so they go and create their self-righteous version of terror. Because of this powerful businessman and their rent-seeking activities and the abusers of the BlueServo project possess similar motives. But when people are the ones being viewed or spectated, humans attempt to escape reality to focus on irrelevant things. The
People in America are to easily persuaded to think what other people want them to think. The media is a big part of Americans being swayed to think something. I also feel the media intentionally changes the panics opinion. I think so many things could be done to help the public think for themselves.
This software has many similarities to the thought police in 1984. In this book, Winston is having thoughts of rebelling against the party, which is not only dangerous, but punishable by death. The thought police are put into place to monitor the citizens and make sure no citizens have the same thoughts Winston is having. They have access to watch the people of Oceania through their televisions and listen to conversations using microphones placed all around. “There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment.
The family has become in effect an extension of the Thought Police. It was a device by means of which everyone could be surrounded night and day by informers who knew him intimately" (page 133). This quote is extremely important as it clearly states the intentions of the Party of manipulating not just adults but people of all ages. The Party took advantage of the sacred parental relationship as they new that children know their parents better than others and thus could report on even subtle differences in their guardians behaviour. This method was employed by Hitler as well as Big Brother as they knew that the children were the future generation and it was essential for the Party to brainwash them in order to oppress the masses and remain in power.
