The people of Oceania feel they have no choice

The people of Oceania must no speak or show

emotions to others

How Long Can People Believe?

They can believe it all as long
as they stay consistent with
their advertisements
They can also become more
convincing with what theyre
trying to get across to the
people

If they enforce their rules and

regulations and make no
exceptions.

What safeguards do we have in our own society?

We have 3 branches of government to ensure that no one within the government can have too
much power

We have a democratic government which means the government must take citizens ideas into
mind

All citizens were born with natural rights and no one can take it away
