Totalitarian Government

The government influences our lives on a daily basis.In the novel 1984 written by George Orwell the government is the "Party".It is a totalitarian government exercising control over the freedom, will, or thought of others.(Dictionary.com)From the word “totalitarianism”, it is obvious that this form of system wants to have “total” control over their people. Unlike democratic rule, under totalitarianism, people have no right to speak, form political parties, or even choose their religion. Totalitarianism restricts what people think and their wants.Countries today that have a totalitarian government are:China,Cuba and Laos.The former Soviet Union was also a totalitarian government. There can only be one political party ruling the country.In writing 1984, Orwell's main goal was to warn of the serious danger totalitarianism poses to society.Orwell was a man of strong opinions who addressed some of the major political movements of his times, including imperialism, fascism and communism.Another of Orwell's creations for 1984 is Newspeak, a form of English that the book's totalitarian government utilizes to discourage free thinking.Newspeak was the official language of Oceania.(page 6) Orwell believed that, without a word or words to express an idea, the idea itself was impossible to conceive and retain.(cliffnotes.com)Newspeak is nothing like modern day English.Newspeak has an A vocabulary that is basically needed for everyday life,such as eating,drinking,working,getting dressed and riding in cars.There is not a large selection words like modern day English.There is also a B vocabulary which are only used for political purposes.Then there is a C vocabulary in Newspeak that has scientific and technical words.There is also duckspeak which sounds like a quacking of a duck. Having witnessed firsthand the horrific lengths to which totalitarian governments in Spain and Russia would go in order to sustain and increase their power, Orwell designed 1984 to sound the alarm in Western nations still unsure about how to approach the rise of communism.(Sparknotes.com) He goes to great lengths to demonstrate the terrifying degree of power and control a totalitarian regime can acquire and maintain.
