3. How does Technology advance the Party's Agenda in 1984? Technology advances the Party's agenda because they use the "telescreen" to spy and watch over them like they are like their prisoners and they act like they cannot be trusted. They make it seam like they are all the spies and are trying to destroy everything.
7. Are we "proles" or "party members" I would say that we are Proles. I say that because we are not watched heavily like they are in 1984. For example in 1984 they are watch with the telescreen. Unlike them we have more freedom and co do more of what we want. Also we arent rebellious as they are.
8. What is is the goal of newspeak? Do you believe that it is an effective method of control? Orwell said "the purpose of newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of IngSoc, but to make all other modes of thought possible" I also think the goal of newspeak was to shortend their thought so they dont think any thought crimes. I dont think it has an effective method on control because it makes words shorter and limits our brain spand.
5. How does technology allow people to violate other peoples freedoms? Is the loss of privacy partially self-imposed? Technology allows people to violate other peoples freedoms because you have people watching you pretty much every second and that limits their privacy and freedom to do things on their own and their life style is so strict you have no right to be free. I think it is kind of self-imposed because they started changing things with evolution and the brought it upon them selves.
1. What are some ways that the government controls the people of Oceania? Is this level of goverment involvement okay if it serves a greater purpose? Some ways the government controls the people of Oceania is by spying on them all the time with the telescreen and it makes them want to rebell and not do whats right cause theyve never felt freedom and if they ever got the chance to they would do things there not suppose to. The level of goverment involvement is not okay cause they are not giving them any freedom to find things out for themselves instead they shelter them in a distopian society where they can never do anything and are kept to a small circle of just them with no freedom.
