The Orwellian Vision: Fact or Fiction Certainly George Orwell never imagined that his work, 1984, would precipitate an extensive examination of modern society. That the book stirred up such an interest, thiry-five years after its publication, is a tribute to the genious of George OrWell and his portrayal of a totalitarian state, where the most serious crime of all was to think the wrong thought. The real question on everyone's mind, however, was where do we stand in comparison1 The Orwellian vision unveils a world in which censorship is the rule rather than the exception. The "Party" exercises total control over every aspect of human existence. Any effort toward seeking out privacy is considered subversive and the slightest deviation from "Party" ideology meets with a swift and brutal response. When regular means of control fail, brainwashing is used to return the errant citizen to his "proper" mind. The people in Orwell's world are devoid of imagination, spontaneity, dignity and even humanity. They have truly come to believe the three "Party" slogans: "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength." Orwell has pictured nothing less than the complete remaking of the human personality and the horrifying part of the entire scenario is that most of the people succumbed willingly. Some expressed concern that this present industrial age was rapidly approaching a situation like the one described by Orwell. Modern nations, due to their complexity, were exercising more control over the lives of their citizens. Mass media and mass advertising were seen as potential tools for the manipulation of multitudes of people. Our confidence in technological progress caused some to view man as little more than a cog in a machine with no inherent value. The vast majority of us believed that we were nowhere near fulfillment of Orwell's nightmare world. The freedom to control our own destiny did not diminish. At the same time , we recognized that his warning could not be ignored. Our freedom and our integrity were maintained through action, not apathy. Man, created in the image of God, was a creative being and the exercise of the mind was the only way to guard the human spirit from captivity. Diversity and imagination overcame mass manipulation. God made no two people alike and he intended for us to be conformists only in the development of a Christ-like spirit which would overcome all things. Whether we faced a bright future or a dark one depended on our ability to recognize that every person has worth. Man was more than an object to manipulate.
