Is Big Brother watching you? Who can say for sure and to what extent; although in this day and age, the potential existence of Big Brother, as shown in George Orwell's 1984, presents a truly unforgettable and thought-provoking moral and mysterious puzzle. In today's society, citizens around the world struggle to understand and accept the reality of the real-world effects of 1984. Overall, I think the idea of ​​government officials monitoring citizens' movements and conversations without plausible cause is what scares people the most; that's certainly what worries me. Although I worry about how we are monitored; I worry more about the idea of ​​being examined. This concern is understandable considering that the United States of America is probably the most "free" country in the world, but with the advent of the technological boom, combined with acts of terrorism on national soil, as many are calling for today, it is the possibility of the invasion of Big Brother present in today's society? How far does "its" reach extend? The thinking on which this country was founded; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are slowly being resumed, albeit mostly without the citizens of our country being notified. Is the US government sincere about privacy issues? If we suspect an invasion of our privacy, would it seem logical that this invasion goes far beyond our suspicions? These thoughts definitely fuel the rising hypothesis regarding the change in our society in 1984. In 1982, Paul Haack published the article "Is Big Brother Watching You?" The reason for doing or saying something in the report focuses on the possibility of the world of 1984 becoming reality. Can t...... middle of paper ......invasion of ernment and bad mistreatment. Furthermore, all thoughts of fighting against authority have been stopped/quieted by any means necessary. Torture and mind control were far from "extreme" in that world. I personally refuse to allow my privacy to be invaded in this way. My family chose to live in the United States because it is a "free" country. Unfortunately, the ideal that has to do with the “blanket of freedom” we have been living under is slowly becoming unrelated/unimportant due to the domination of both the government and corporate America over its citizens. As time passes, laws are conveniently ignored or are quietly changed without notice to American citizens. The lines between privacy and protection are becoming increasingly blurred. At this point, the real question remains: how much of our privacy are we willing to give up for our freedom?
