Book 1 Chapter 7: Interpretation of reality

            In chapter seven Winston comes to the conclusion that the part can not be stopped from the within. The thought police is to strong even for the brotherhood itself. The proles are those outside of the party which make up the majority of the population, an 85 percent of the population. Due to the form of government everyone has been tricked in to believing a lie. Everyone believes that the party has increased the literacy rate, reduced the infant mortality rate, and given everyone better food and shelter. All of the latter is false everyone lives in poverty and fear of being falsely incriminated of committing a thought crime. Majority of the population lives by a set of rules that enslave them and make them follow a group which lies to them. This is easily understood by the readers of the book that know that the party has re-written history so that no issues come up, this way everyone is raised to believe a false history. Events such as this occur now a day as well. Maybe not to the same extremity but similar. As the project we have been doing in our english class on communism and socialism along with ingsoc are examples of governments in which the majority of the population is controlled by one person or a small group and put full faith in to their leadership and follow them despite all of the problems that follow later. A prime example of this is Cuba, Cuba is ruled by Raul Castro at the moment who makes all the decisions. Sadly due to the latter Cuba in a bad economical situation where everyone lives in poverty and due to the form in which everyone is raised things do not change. If the population stood all together against the group as Winston believed or individual in this case the people would be able to change and overtake. Even though some people argue that doing that it would leave a population with no leadership which would cause issues and conflicts, I personally believe that it could not be worst than living in poverty and fear with no real freedom. We are all tricked in to believing that the leadership to the country in which you live in makes the best choices for you, but sadly thats not always true, the seek benefits for the country specially for themselves. The people of a country should have a voice and allowed to live freely. Every form of government has negative parts to it, every form of government lies and makes decisions to benefit themselves despite whatever effect it really has on the people who live in that country. Why live and fear and with no freedom when people can stand for themselves and truly be free.
