Modern day society turned into the society of 1984
George Orwell was a big contributor to anticommunist literature around the World War II period. When Orwell was once speaking of his novel 1984 he made the following statement, “ I do not believe that the kind of society I describe necessarily will arrive, but I believe that something resembling it could arrive. ... The people of today’s society already have to deal with some of the circumstance that the people in 1984 did, only today they are less severe. Today technology, war, and a united hatred towards a certain person or group, set up what could very possibly turn into the same conditions as in 1984. ... As alluded to in 1984, such a place as Oceania would not be possible without the use technology. ... For example how people are being led into yet another war in the Middle East, breaking numerous international laws and treaties remembering the artificially puppeteered wars in 1984. Thus making the coming war illegal, remember the absence of any real laws aimed at protecting the public in 1984. ... But dissent is squashed in a sophisticated manner, exactly as in 1984 when OBrien turns out to be a covert operative posing as a rebel. ...
Another similarity of today’s society and the society in 1984 is the Hate Room and the 2 minute hate practice, versus the way today’s people come together to go against one person or group as a whole.
