1984

The book 1984 by George Orwell is a fictional novel about a man, Winston Smith who lives in the city Oceania which is governed by a completely totalitarian party that dominates and rules over every aspect of life. Anything that differentiates citizens and makes them individuals is prohibited.

In this book many crimes against humanity are committed. The government created in this book denies its citizens of most of their rights as humans.

All humans have the right to live in freedom and safety but in this book they are not given the chance because they are restricted from possessing free thoughts and actions and if they do execute these actions they are in danger of being tortured. The citizens are also being treated as slaves to their politics. They do not have a chance to change the government style.

Winston is jailed in this novel without a fair trial and therefore he is imprisoned and without good reason, both of which are violations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Privacy is not an option in this novel as there is Thoughtpolice who listen to peoples thoughts and then imprison them due to this. Many other human rights are denied constantly throughout this book.

Although this book is very far-fetched it is still occurring throughout area’s of the world, but on a much less impulsive structure. Many people who are enslaved are treated in this manner. They are not allowed many of their born-into human rights. Also many countries around the world have government styles that reflect the one described in the book.

Pressures like the ones put on the people in 1984, are many the same put on people in the world today. This is not right. Everyone in the world according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that this should not occur. All people should be free to their own decisions and to not impede upon others freedoms.

The statements recorded in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights urgently needs to be spread across the entire globe. They need to followed through with and pursued into the future. The indecency to allow the exhibition of each and every person’s rights as a human is the worst crime committable. The lack of these rights being granted needs to change. Every single person alive today and in the future should unquestionably be granted these rights.
