Controllng the society
There are many ways that this society controls its citizens. The Big Brother tries to control the people's lives so it can prosper. They don't want people to know the past so they won't question the society. If they control the past they can control what happens in the present because the citizens don't know anything. First, they control the society through surveillance. They do this through the telescreens. If a citizen does anything they don't like they can come take him or her away and tourcher them or kill them. In the beginning of the day they make them do physical jerks which are exercises. They also use spies to spy on people to see if there doing any illegal activity. They control the past by Newspeak which is the news that can be changed at any time. Next, they change the records of the past to fit the present. To not remember current people they make people disappear like Jones, Rutherford and Aaron who were leaders of the revolution who Winston saw at the Chestnut Tree Cafe. Last but not least, they control the sex drive of the people. The only reason they are suppose to have sex is only for making children and not for pleasure. Junior-Anti sex league which is a group that doesn't have sex at all. The method is so effective because the people are so ignorant not knowing what is happening. They just go along hating Goldstein and living there lives.
