1984 part 1

The Party eliminates all conflict from their society by carefully monitoring the thoughts of all of the citizens of that society. If someone in that society has the potential of being a threat to the government, they kill that person and make it so that he never existed. This is shown in the book when Winston is very afraid of not going to the meetings or seeming like an outsider because he does not want to be seen as not part of the whole. This could cause him to get vaporized. They create conformity by making everyone wear the same clothes and act the same way. They have monitors in every room of the houses that they live in that make sure that everyone acts appropriatly even when they are alone. When they are not at work, the people of that society are expected to attend the public events and listen to propaganda with everyone else. They make everyone wear the same facial expressions all the time, and if you have an expression that is not approved, you will be vaporized. The Party forces happiness on its people by altering the historical records of what life was like before they came into power. They make everyone think that, before their revolution, everyone was a slave to tyrannical people called the capitalists. They convinced everyone that the capitalists were cruel rulers who were glutonous and made everyone under their domain suffer. This is completely false, but there are no records to prove otherwise. The society that they have created is not a utopia because people are either constantly living in fear that thier facial expressions will betray their ture feelings about their situation or they are so brainwashed by the Party's propaganda that they lose any semblance of individuality.
