1984 Reading Journal

The utopia has created conformity by forcing all members of the party to wear blue overalls, regulating the diet, education, exercise, and most other aspects of daily life. They have resolved conflict by rewriting the past, putting themselves in the right light while placing the blame on an unvanquishable enemy in Eurasia and Goldstein. They also have ended religion, put away love in relationships, and limited individual rights. THey have forced conformity because the people feel nothing which stems from the fact that they have nothing to compare their lives to. This is due to the fact that the party rewrites history to show false improvement over time. The society is a dystopia because success and growth ins't promoted: it is discouraged. Newspeak is an example where the people will gradually speak less and less, eventually becoming non-human in nature.
