“’Take ‘good’, for instance. If you have a word like ‘good’, what need is there for a word like ‘bad’? ‘Ungood’ will do just as well -- better, because it's an exact opposite, which the other is not” (chapter 5). “'Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it’” (chapter 5).

“[the] process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs -- to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record” (chapter 4). ©LOVERMOYER 2018

Both regimes glorified their respective leaders as demi-gods and saviors, required the destruction of all individuality in order to promote the Party's needs over the individual's, demanded absolute loyalty from their citizens, and resorted to violence whenever disloyalty was suspected. Both regimes consistently demonized their enemies, just as the Party and Big Brother do in 1984, through the Two Minutes Hate, Hate Week, and daily mass propaganda. Other parallels include the Thought Police as a reinvention of the Gestapo, NKVD (People's Comissariat for Internal Affairs), which orchestrated large scale purges and terror. The Spies and Youth League are a reinvention of the Hitler Youth and the Little Octoberists, which indoctrinated young people to the Party and encouraged them to report disloyalty observed in their elders, even among family members. ©LOVERMOYER 2018

HAS TECHNOLOGY JEOPARDIZED MY PRIVACY? IS THE FAMILY DYNAMIC IN MY OWN SOCIETY CHANGING? DO I HAVE A VOICE IN MY GOVERNMENT? AM I MANIPULATED BY PROPAGANDA? IS WAR THE SOLUTION TO WHAT AILS THE WORLD? HAS PATRIOTISM BLINDED SOCIETY TO THE PROBLEMS OUR COUNTRY AND OTHERS? ARE PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND CULTURES DANGEROUS? IS THE MEDIA IN OUR SOCIETY MANIPULATED, BIASED, OR UNTRUTHFUL? AM I LIVING IN A COUNTRY THAT CELEBRATES INDIVIDUALITY AND DIVERSITY? AM I BEING SUFFICIENTLY EDUCATED? DO I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE AND LEARN? ©LOVERMOYER 2018
