1. Are you willing to give up your privacy if constant government surveillance means living in a safer country? Does America seem to be willing to give up their privacy? Why?
Under a certain circumstance i am, but i wouldn't want all of m freedom to be gone. I think if it means living in a safer country people would be willing to give up their privacy.
4. Is technology today more or less advanced than it is in the book? Is this a good or a bad thing?
Technology today is far more advanced rather than in the book. It is mostly a good thing, for medical reasons and science.
8. What is the goal of Newspeak? Do you believe that this is an effective method of control?
The goal is for everyone to be the same, or speaking the same language. I believe it is an effective method of control because it limits peoples freedom.
9. When people are stripped of their ability to express a thought, do they lose the ability to formulate one?
No, i think people people still create thoughts, they are just not allowed to express them to show individuality.
12. “Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.” What does this quote mean? Do you agree with it?
To me this quote means, you can change the way you do things in the future, but the past you have to live with your mistakes. Yes i do agree with it.
