Writing in Response to Orwell

3. The society that Orwell creates shows us a populus of brainless robots, figuratively speaking. The people represented in this novel have no thought to thier own; they believe what they are told. Orwell could try to be relating to the way his era acted, what with the media giving us the most information, we can only help but to be drawn into what they say. The information we recieve may not always be true, but we sometimes believe it based on others who believe it as well. Much like in 1984, our daily lives are filled with information we recieve from everyone and everything, but for us, we can easily find out which is fact and fiction. In the book, the people could not go against what they thought was wrong, they couldn't even have thoughts that contradicted what they were being told. Orwell uses Newspeak to restrict the people from even thinking of any rebellious thoughts. Doublethink is used as a psychological method that explains how people can forget about the past and any contrdicting ideas they might have. This terrible process allows the Party to gain almost complete mind control, making all the people believe whatever they are told. If the people banded together and acknowledged that they had similar thoughts about everything that contradicted the Party, they would be able to turn the society around. Much like in the real world, when people stop caring and standing up for whats right, wouldn't we also become braindead? It's a scary way to think about it.
