People are convinced to think that, whatever our government does during a war is apparently right. Especially during WWII,  which ended before 1984 was released (1948 was when the book was made), people saw Germany and Japan as enemies, so when America threw two atomic bombs towards Japan, people were fine with it (of course, not everyone was okay with it). People were so convinced that Japan was bad because the government said so. Of course though, Japan did do things that weren't considered right. But even so, they were still hit with two huge bombs.

In 1984, people get killed with missiles weekly and people don't really care about what is actually happening with the war. But the fact that they are getting KILLED by missiles, and not doing anything about it, shows that the government has shaped that society to accept whatever they say.

People shouldn't just mindlessly accept whatever the government says. They should meet with the evidence and the facts, and create an opinion. If they just accepted everything they said, the government could get away with killing entire countries.

America threw nukes at Japan during WWII...but American people accepted it because Japan was seen as an enemy for that moment. (Because of Propaganda)

Now, when people hear about the war, they say, "Well, here's another one..." (I should say that not all say that, but some people do) When someone thinks like this, it shows they don't really care. If it's not affecting their home, they think they should ignore it. But even if it does in a small way, as long as their house isn't getting blown up, they believe they will be fine.

In 1984, the people hear about the war and say, "Oh, so we're winning, okay." Even when they are probably being lied to. But Even if it was real, they wouldn't have much of a reaction. They don't even think twice about the war. This reflects on how a lot of people don't even know about the currents wars going on. But that is because they don't really care. If they hear that we decided to throw a bomb at a country, the people who don't pay attention to what's going on just ignore it.

People should learn how bad war can actually be, even if it won't really affect where that person lives. But that also doesn't mean they should get completely involved in the problem, because not every problem is their problem.

The people in our society like to follow trends. It creates an acceptable image for those who follow it. And usually if one doesn't follow it, they aren't completely accepted in society. But now that Dark Humor and being called a 'sadist' is being more accepted in some groups, it starts becoming something normal.

In 1984, the large majority is what shapes the society. Most of the population in that world follow the people who see the executions and deaths as a source of entertainment. Which is making that trend more normal (if that makes sense). More people like it --> becomes normal.

People shouldn't just mindlessly follow the majority. They may not even know why they are even following them, all they know is that it makes that more acceptable in society.

A lot of people in our current society just follow the trends. Even if it's a trend involving something horrible.

- Propaganda may be an example in a way.

In our current society, there are people who look at death as sickening or unsightly. But there are also people who are just too curious, and wouldn't be fazed while looking at a corpse. On a part of the internet called the "Deep Dark Web", people can find sites that have lists and lists of images of brutal deaths or injuries. For example, one will probably find an image of a deceased child, who has died from a fire (definately will NOT show that image). This shows that people will create a location for people who are curious enough, to see things like this.

In 1984, the people in this society have gotten used to the public executions, and have come to accept them. People are perfectly willing to see a human get vaporized, blown up, or burned to death. This reflects on how in our society, people have gotten less frightened and more curious towards violence.

People should instead, see these images as something way more horrible than they intend. Or just not look at these things just because they're curious. They should look at these as a message for reality. Things like these do happen, but we just don't see it as much as the people in 1984 do

This is a very tame example of Dark Humor. On the internet, there are jokes that are far more horrible (that I can't show). But there are jokes about the Holocaust, 9-11, slavery, executions, etc. And the people of this generation are accepting more of these jokes, and using them as a real source of entertainment (tbh I do as well).

In 1984, there are multiple parts where people go to an event where someone gets killed. They don't scream in terror of the horror they just witnessed. But instead applaud and laugh. This reflects on how we laugh at jokes about real situations. Not just normal situations, but tragic events that have led to the death of hundreds.

People in society who do laugh at these jokes, shouldn't need to stop. But should look at it as an actual problem, not as a way to make a joke out of it.

In 1984, Orwell warns us that we have been desensitized to horrible things.
