George Orwell

George Orwell's stories he wrote were the times the world had many conflicts and wars.This was his influence. He was living in the earth during World War I, World War II, Spanish Civil War which were some of his influences. When he resigned being a writer he moved to Paris and wrote short stories however, he could not publish them. Originally titled Last man however, they changed it for unknown reasons to Nineteen-eighty four was one of his most inspirational books because it talks about the government and how its unfair.

Big Brother Concept

I believe the Big Brother concept can happen in real life because the government has so much power it would be hard to go against them. One way it's happening today is the yellow cab taxis having a Gps installed in their car. They can see everything they do. The negative effect to this is that they are invading they're privacy. The positive effect to this is they can check if they're goofing off. They may be wasting gas by using the cab for their own purposes, or doing illegal stuff like selling drugs.

Biggest Lies in History

I believe the that the Biggest Lie in history is the selling of indulgences from the Roman Catholic Church. Indulgences is when you pay money to get a piece of paper that can guarantee you a trip to heaven and forgiveness of all your sins. The church also sold simony's where you could pay to get positions in the church. It was a scheme by the church however, there was one person that stood up to this scheme and that person was Martin Luther. He stood up to this lie by forming the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther as his first move made the 95 theses that talks about the evils about the church and the selling of indulgences. The church then was finding that the Protestant Reformation was actually a threat. The churched warned Martin Luther to stop this or he will be excommunicated. Martin Luther then died February 18, 1546 at Eisleben. The church later in history collapse after the Black Death.

Possibility in our society

I think this may be possible in our society because our government control a lot of things in our lives like having the power to put different laws, our currency, and our technology. Our government may seal information because the truth may set their people to not trust them. Its just the typical way we use the truth, for example if I didn't feel like doing Mr. Sipkins homework and the next day I tell him I forget and make up a story it would make him less mad to hear that then i just didn't do it. Thats the same way with the government.

Government withholding the truth

-It would be possible for the government to manipulate information because they are in control of it and they can lie to the media if they wanted to causing people to think in other perspectives. They may have planned out the lie of their story a while ago to make it convincing.

-The government would want to conceal information because that information may lead people to believe that their government and their state was at fault as well as giving them more distrust, however it had to be done.
