1984 the lifestyle

  In the novel 1984 Winston Smith lives in a society which the government monitors his every step, thought or move. The thought of actually living in a government, that is this controlling is mindblowing.  

    Winston's government makes living life a living hell. Thinking about this, I ask myself how could I possibly go through the vigorously demanding government Winston Smith deals with on the daily basis. I'm not quite sure on who could possibly live a life of non-privacy. Having a typical phone conversation with a friend with someone overhearing in the room next to me, irritates me. Therefore adapting to a society in which a government overseas any activity you plan on doing could be hard. 

     After reading this book I came up with the conclusion that it might be hard to adapt but it is a part of the human evolution to do so. Growing up in that type of controlling lifestyle you would adapt to it because that's all you would know. That being said, if the government were to change as of now to that type of lifestyle the human population would decrease exceedingly.
