BNW and 1984
I sure am glad that I do not live in Oceania or in Brave New World. In both places the government has complete control over its citizens. In 1984 the government has the people conditioned to be able change their thinking as the government's beliefs can change daily and in BNW the government mentally conditions its citizens to believe the laws of the government. In both places the citizens have a greater force they either look out for or look up to. In 1984 Big Brother watches the citizens and is a silent watchful eye making sure that they do what they are supposed to. In BNW Ford is their god they worship. The last similarity that I noticed was that both governments changed historical facts to help keep their governments looking respectable. In 1984 and BNW they would either destroy items or they would condition their people to be able to not believe what the historical artifacts said.
