Week 22:1984 by George Orwell
Power in 1984 There is a truism in American politics which holds that although you can fool some of the people some of the time, you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. Yet, in
1984, the Party seems to have mastered the techniques of keeping the people fooled nearly all the time. How has the Party managed to gain complete power? Could such methods work in America? or in other countries around the the world?
This week please keep pace with the readings and the in-class discussions. Your insight to those discussions and the timed writings will determine your success...do not be parasitic in the classroom...you owe it to your peers to contribute...take a RISK!
Have a great week and remember, be empathetic to each other and work diligently...I always notice!! Smile, too!
