  1. By Colton Flowers Qualia Coleman Jackie Nesseman Malia Irwin George Orwell: The Guy with Communist Complications

  2. Biographical Information • George Owrwell’s real name was Eric Blair. He was born in 1903 in Bengal, India. • His writing reflected socialist ideas and prophetic totalitarianism. • During the Spanisih Civil War, World War II, and in the Indian Imperial Police. • He wrote his book in 1947 and it was published on June 13, 1949. • Orwell wrote the book to warn against communism and facism. • He explained his topics and reasoning by the time he spent during the wars and in imperialist nations.

  3. Articles • Article 1: Different companies that create apps and have internet websites use these devices to observe our habits and how we live. At the touch of their fingertips they have access to all of our information and searches and purchases.

  4. Article 2: Over the years following 9-11, the US government has been slowly sacrificing the privacy of its citizens for the safety of the country as a whole.

  5. Article 3: The US has begun to return to its colonial roots, where the government encroaches on the natural rights of men. The worst part is that they are getting away with having this much power. Also, technology has expanded from its former state of strict and practical usage. It has now integrated into the daily lives of Americans. It has the potential to be used to encroach upon the privacy and individual rights of the people.

  6. Similar Differences The U.S. Governent is still discreet with its natural right invasion People are still allowed to speak out against the government in The U.S. 1984 has a completely authoritarian state whiole the U.S. has simply utilized a few socialist policies. The U.S.’ socialist condition can still be easily reversed, as opposed to that of 1984.’ • Technology has been integrated into the human experience • Government has potential to invade the personal lives of its citizens • The balance between liberty and security has been skewed.

  7. Is Big Brother Watching? • In a sense, yes, but this “watching” has been limited to simple privacy invasion. It has not been used against the people on a grand-scale according to our knowledge. 1984’s dystopian society has become a supreme authoritarian state where individual thought and freedom is forbidden, but the U.S. is simply on its way to this order. Big Brother, while he does seem to be watching Americans more and more often, he is not able to use this information to the extent that the 1984 government does
