1984 Reflection
Tania Barajas
"Never again will you be capable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity. You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, then we shall fill you with ourselves"
Individualism is stripped away from people in 1984. They take away everything that can make the people unique. Everyone is taught the same values, they think the same way and they have the same ideas. Since they have never had a truly happy, joyful life they believe that what they are living is genuine. The party makes sure that the people are nothing that just a "robot". In my eyes the idea of taking someones individualism is inhumane, people should be allowed to think differently, and yes I think there should be some restrictions but they should still have the right to have their own individual thoughts and ideas.
