Sa mga nakabasa ng 1984 book ni George Orwell, did you noticed the same current situation we are in?
Summary
The book is set in 1984 in Oceania, one of three perpetually warring totalitarian states (the other two are Eurasia and Eastasia). Oceania is governed by the all-controlling Party, which has brainwashed the population into unthinking obedience to its leader, Big Brother. The Party has created a propagandistic language known as Newspeak, which is designed to limit free thought and promote the Party’s doctrines. Its words include doublethink (belief in contradictory ideas simultaneously), which is reflected in the Party’s slogans: “War is peace,” “Freedom is slavery,” and “Ignorance is strength.” The Party maintains control through the Thought Police and continual surveillance.
The book’s hero, Winston Smith, is a minor party functionary living in a London that is still shattered by a nuclear war that took place not long after World War II. He belongs to the Outer Party, and his job is to rewrite history in the Ministry of Truth, bringing it in line with current political thinking. However, Winston’s longing for truth and decency leads him to secretly rebel against the government. He embarks on a forbidden affair with Julia, a like-minded woman, and they rent a room in a neighborhood populated by Proles (short for proletariats). Winston also becomes increasingly interested in the Brotherhood, a group of dissenters. Unbeknownst to Winston and Julia, however, they are being watched closely (ubiquitous posters throughout the city warn residents that “Big Brother is watching you.”).
Sa 1984 book meron mga Classes
1. Big brother- Big Brother is described as appearing on posters and telescreens as a man in his mid-forties. In Party propaganda, Big Brother is presented as one of the founders of the Party.
Pwde nation siyang ikumpara sa ating presidente
2. INNER PARTY- Only making up 2% of the population, the Inner Party is the ruler of Oceania. They make policies, decisions and govern. The Inner Party is commonly known as “The Party” and they are the upper class. They have privileges different than any other such as being able to temporarily turn off their telescreens, living in comfortable homes, have good food and drink (they are not bothered by rations of lower quality supplies that the other classes must adhere to), having personal servants and access to helicopters and automobiles. No other class may enter Inner Party neighborhoods without a very good reason. Despite all this, the Party is not immune to the rigid thought and behavior imposed on it, even though it originates within their own ranks. If an Inner Party member gets out of line they are dealt with the same as any other member of society, mainly through torture, imprisonment and/or being erased from history (becoming an “unperson”).
Ito naman Sa atin mga politiko na nakaupo.
OUTER PARTY - The Outer Party is given state administrative jobs and are composed of the more educated members of society. They are responsible for the direct implementation of the Party’s policies but have no say. They are the “artificial middle class” and have strict rules applied to them. They are allowed “no vices other than *********s and Victory Gin”. They are spied on via telescreens and other means of surveillance, including being encouraged to spy on each other for any suspicious activities. Winston washes off a bit of ink on his hands while writing in his diary, knowing that someone could ask why he had ink and if he was writing and why was he writing and etc. According to history, the middle class is the most dangerous–their intellectual ability with limited power means they are more likely to start a revolution against the upper classes. The Outer Party is required to have a constant patriotic frenzy for the Party, following blindly every order from them. They live in rundown neighborhoods and are subjected to rations to an almost ongoing state of starvation. They are also required to abstain from *** unless it’s for procreative purposes.
Ito sa Middle-class natin
PROLES- The lower class of workers that perform the majority of menial tasks and labors. They are in the poorest of conditions but are the most free of any of the classes in that the Party does not spy on them, thinking they aren’t worth it. The Party keeps them entertained with *******, ********, sports, and fabricated novels and ****ography (called “prolefeed”). They are kept uneducated and are considered unable to gain any sophisticated views of their lives or the society they live in. They are considered harmless, nothing more than animals. Some members of the Thought Police wander around the prole neighborhoods to see if any of them are displaying intelligence and if so they are taken away and vaporized. The Proles make up 85% of the population. In his diary Winston writes, “If there is any hope, it lies with the Proles.”
Ito naman para a mga lower class natin.
Sa novel ni Orwell meron silang tinatawag na Doublethink, doublespeak the government through its “Ministry of Truth” makes use of language, not to communicate, but to confuse, and not to inform, but to mislead. The term “doublespeak,” inspired by the novel’s “doublethink,” describes this practice. The Ministry of Truth itself is a form of doublespeak as it is actually a vehicle for outright lies and historical revisionism. People are tortured in the “Ministry of Love,” and war is waged from the “Ministry of Peace.” Mahahantulad natin ito sa mga fakenews na lumalaganap sa social media. meron din isang exert mula sa novel niya na “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” Pwde nation to mahambing ito sa mga nangyayaring revisions ng ating history.
Surveillance. The telescreens in “1984” are TV screens that double as security cameras monitored by the state’s fearsome “Thought Police.” Telescreens allow the state to monitor and punish dissent even at the personal level, hence the warning “Big Brother is watching you.” In a way, our smartphone laptop and digital tv ginagamit natin ito para mamonitor and mga activity ng iba, kahit tayo pwde din tayo mamonitor kahit mga conversations natin.
Sa huling chapter ng novel makikita nating tintorture si Winstons smith ng ministry of love dahil sa kanyang treason, ngunit sa huli ay bumaliktad na din siya at naniwala na din siya kay big brother maaari natin ito ihambing sa mga dating tumutuligsa sa gobyerno pero sa huli ay magiging kakampi din niya, cough (Roque).
Sa novel din nabagit ni Winston na and pag asa lang talaga ay and mga Proles o and lower class kung sila ay lalaban.
