They rewrote anything that they disagreed with from books to newspapers to magazines.  In 2017, the government does not use censorship to maintain their power. They don't change historical documents even if they contain ideas of things the government does not approve. ]]> 2017-11-03 17:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203395208 19moorenicolett https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203395588 In dystopian 1984, humans were not considered individuals and were forbidden to speak truthfully from their minds as well as have the right to privacy. Though, in modern 2017, although speech has certain consequences, most individuals are allowed to produce as many various ideas they want to without anyone ever having to know; they have the right to privacy. ]]> 2017-11-03 17:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203395588 19guhanyang https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203395849 "WAR IS PEACE..." (Orwell 2).
"the Party taught that the proles were natural inferiors who must be kept in subjection, like animals" (Orwell 42).
In the book, 1984, the government used spy, thought police, party member, and solgen to lead and control citizens mind toward a specific path, which followed the government's commands at all time.
In reality, the government allow citizens to have freedom to almost everything, instead of the one be the leader of the country, the government is formed by several groups.]]> 2017-11-03 17:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203395849 19rexkatelyn https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203398038 In 1984, the main character Winston has a job at the Ministry of Truth. At work Winston “[made] all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of the Times had been assembled...that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files instead”(Orwell 39). ]]> 2017-11-03 17:17:24 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203398038 19rexkatelyn https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203398507 The Party used children as spies that had to report any of their parents behavior that they deemed suspicious. They brainwashed the children to ensure loyalty to the party. This prevented these young, innocent children from having any strong emotional connection with their parents. Nowaday, children are not expected to do anything of the sort. Kids are just expected to be kids, and enjoy their days of adolescence. However not all countries during this time feel the same. We do still have issues with child labor, but it is not very common, only in some select areas.]]> 2017-11-03 17:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203398507 19moorenicolett https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203399827 In dystopian 1984, the social classes consist of only the inner party, outer party, and proles. On the other hand, in present-day 2017, the main social classes are generally known as the upper class, middle class, and lower class. Despite the 1984's tampering of past events, the inner party similarly compares to the upper class and parts of the middle class, where they are watched by security cameras in public. While the upper class holds the most power in modern day society, the 1984's inner party holds the most power out of the other two parties. The proles reflect the lower class in some ways, where they aren't expected to help out society and are mostly ignored, since it is unlikely for some of them to sustain a good, financially-stable life.]]> 2017-11-03 17:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203399827 19guhanyang https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203401344 The word "'ungood' will do just as well - better" than "bad" as an opposite meaning of "good", "because it's an exact opposite" (Orwell 30). In order to control the citizens, the government in the book, 1984, decided to limit their thought first. As people used words like "ungood" instead of "bad", the ability of thinking is shorten by the simple thought while the complex words from citizens are replaced.
In reality, the government does not limit the word used, the freedom of speech. Using different words will make the thoughts of citizens expand more. However in 1984, if the citizens were smart, the government will not be able to control them.]]> 2017-11-03 17:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203401344 19rexkatelyn https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203401626 Propaganda in 1984 is very similar to propaganda today. However, in 2017 they don't use propaganda to make the citizens fear the government but instead to earn their trust and support. ]]> 2017-11-03 17:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203401626 19rexkatelyn https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203404717 Winston went over to his neighbor's flat, the Parsons, with children who were spies. As he was leaving, he thought to himself "that wretched woman must lead a life of terror. Another year, two years, and they would be watching her night and day for symptoms of of unorthodoxy" (Orwell 24.) 

This quote explains the daily struggle of parents with child spies living under their roof. They feared their own children because the slightest change in their behavior would result in their own children turning them in to the Party. The were unable to connect with their own children on an emotional level. ]]> 2017-11-03 17:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203404717 19guhanyang https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203407107 In 1984, there were two important intimidation tactics were used on the citizens.
"The children were systematically turned against their parents and taught to spy on them and report their deviations" (Orwell 77).
When the parents knew their children were taught to spy on them, they will not do anything that against the government, because their children were stay with them most of time, The report from their children led them to be caught by thought police.
"Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten" (11).
Citizens were be scared by the vaporization from the government. 
In modern society, government can't really be intimidated citizens, the citizens will have procession to against the government.]]> 2017-11-03 17:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203407107 19rexkatelyn https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203407819 2017-11-03 17:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203407819 19rexkatelyn https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203410819 2017-11-03 17:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203410819 19rexkatelyn https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203411305 2017-11-03 17:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203411305 19moorenicolett https://padlet.com/19rexkatelyn/sxiugmfrmuf6/wish/203412302 While 2017 society is allowed to use words that have negative connotations, such as bad and worst, 1984's government strictly prohibits the usage of any negative words and has created the prefix "un-" to be placed in front of the positive word instead, to represent its opposite.
Ex.
2017: "Bad"
1984: "Ungood"
