Quick Write: I believe that Winston's world can really happen in today's society but only to a certain extent. I don't think it would get as far as the Party took it.
Final Reflection:
In my personal experience, I haven't felt that my privacy was invaded. But there are places like my building, stores, etc. that have cameras that watch your every move. Sometimes it isn't fair. But in certain cases its acceptable. For example, I recently lost a friend and they saw everything that happened through the store and building cameras. If they use it for things like this than it's ok but if it's just to watch our every move I feel like something needs to change. In Winston and the lawyer's case their rights and privacy was violated and I wouldn't want that for anyone else.
Very relevant poster. To what extent do you believe Winston's world could happen today? Don't forget the final reflection for this lesson.
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry about your friend. I'm glad they were able to find out how it happened. It's difficult to balance personal privacy with security. Surveillance cameras are going all the time. Police aren't supposed to be watching innocent people, but what if the technology gets into the wrong hands? 4-4-4-4
