Loss of Privacy

The Book

The party had so many ways of keeping track of its citizens; they used spies, telescreens, and even had thought police who used a helicopter to spy on you though your windows. If you didn’t comply with what they wanted you to do our think, you where gone. "People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word." (page 27)

Another great example of loss of privacy is how they can no longer talk to each other in public, I’m talking of course about Winston and Julia, a man and woman talking to each other repeatedly without others around is considered breaking the rules and we are shown this because the first few times Winston approaches Julia after getting the note he is very nervous. “He did not look at her. He unpacked his tray and promptly began eating. It was all-important to speak at once before anyone else can.” (page 94) this quote is from when Winston sees Julia in the cafeteria after she slips him the note that read “ I LOVE YOU.”

Loss of Privacy

We must go through a lot of loss of privacy living here in America; security cameras constantly watch us, our credit cards are monitored, and even things like our social media life is monitored closely.

One great example in the modern world of rewriting history is North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un. Un went and had his uncle killed who was also his second in command. After Jand’s death, the English-language new site run by North Korea called KCNA started erasing him out of their past stories, and therefore erasing him from history. (Slate)

North Koreans cannot even say Jand’s name, the photo of Jand at Kim Jong Il’s funeral is no longer available to be seen. The reason North Korea’s leader can do something like alter history is because they have no one to stop them or question them on why they are doing so. Leaders can and have also created events in history, just like in 1984. (Radio Free Asia)
