Big Brother
One could speculate that Big Brother is a concept invented by the party so people are never sure if they are being watched
“Big Brother is watching you”
Big brother is
similar
to
God
in the way he is a higher being to everyone else and
demands to
be idolised and
worshipped. Slide3
The Party
The
Party
is the government that controls
oceania
, which is one of three continents/states.
They use propaganda, surveillance and fear to control the citizens, where the lower class citizens are blue collar workers, then slighter higher up are
the white collar workers (such as Winston),
then the inner party
who are the
intelectuals
who reap
the rewards of everyone
else’s hard work.Slide4
Status Ranks
Inner party- higher class
Outer Party- white collar
Proletarians- blue collarSlide5
Ignorance
Ignorance is a pervasive theme associated with the party, as they tell the workers
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
They convince party members that the less they know the stronger it makes them, therefore party members strive to know only what the party wants them
to.Slide6
The Ministries
The four ministries are
The
Ministry
of Plenty
The
Ministry
of Love
The
Ministry
of peace
The
Ministry
of truth
Ironically, each Ministries actions contradict
their
names. For example,
the
Ministry
of
Truth
actually censors all documents and other media to prevent anything that would have a negative effect on the party from reaching party members eyes, this ties in with their slogan “ignorance is strength” further persuading party members to be as dependent as possible, as opposed to being independent
thinkers.
