1984, by George Orwell. |
One of the major concepts, put forward by 1984, was that by constantly redefining our language in a highly specific and narrowly focused manner... The True Meanings of certain: " Objectionable Words " could be: easily hidden, subtly altered, totally eliminated, and/or even functionally reversed. That Politically Sensitive and Troublesome Words - such as: Freedom, Equality, and Brotherhood - might not stand in the way of ' The True Social Progress '; wherein The Ruling Elite can operate, far, more freely. Consequently, it was George Orwell who coined the term: " Doublespeak " - in deference to this ongoing process.
While great visionaries - like George Orwell - might seem to be prophets, to the rest of us, they have merely observed the world around them and accurately extrapolated: Our Social Trends, The Inevitable Results, and Who Is Logically Behind Them. The basis for everything is: " Cause And Effect ". Everything that happens, in the world of man, serves some sort of purpose; and someone, somewhere, derives a true benefit! Case in point, Our Educational System... our politicians get what they pay for, if our public schools are failing, then that's what they're paying for....
