The 1984 novel, written by George Orwell, offers readers a glimpse of a possible frightening future in which a government has complete and definitive control of the people. But “control” may not be the right term to describe this rule. The Party dominates every aspect of life. There is nothing that is not under the Party's control. Feelings, history, language, statistics and even human nature are subjected to the Party. They corrupt the mind so much that there is no longer a line separating truth from lies. Slogans are repeated daily on television screens, gradually forcing people to believe in illogical claims. At first glance, it may seem that a 1984 society is not even imaginable in the world we currently live in. But is it really logical to make such a hypothesis so quickly? Do we know that what we see on the news and read in our history books is completely accurate? The Internet is one of the most powerful technologies our world has, made up of an insurmountable amount of information, which is not always what it seems. Ultimately, there is so much we don't know, some of which is kept secret from us. Modern society has shocking evidence of a transformation into the menacing society of 1984 due to similar government actions and the abuse of advanced technologies. The technology of this era has opened numerous doors to new types of communication and ways to retrieve an abundance of information. The Internet is clearly one of the greatest inventions of all time, allowing people to communicate across the globe and accumulate countless pieces of information in seconds. This phenomenon has undoubtedly marked a significant progress in our society. However, it also gave rise to th...... middle of paper ...... the one created by the Party in 1984. The government keeps essential information away from the public, and technology is abused in various ways to gain power over people. Our freedom in this country is slowly eroding and we cannot lose it. Even if we ultimately lose our freedom, we must be able to maintain free will, because with this we can still think logically and act appropriately based on conditions. We are lucky to have people fighting against the rise of a 1984 society; it causes our society to take a step back from its shortcomings. However, it seems that with every covert action taken by the government and every law passed that diminishes our fundamental rights, we are only fighting a battle that we have already lost. We can only fight for a certain time to avoid such a confined society, but transformation is inevitable. In the end, two and two will equal five.
