Political Parties
The issues that exist within political parties date back to the 1700’s. Party lines and loyalty were drawn to the point of personal bitterness and public destructiveness. Such division along party lines represented the most severe split between the two political factions since the inception of the republic. George Washington was greatly concerned that they had previously, and would again, grow seeking more power than other groups to the detriment of the whole.

He viewed this to be detrimental to the young country as an entire nation. President Washington expresses genuine concern in that “the alternate domination” of one political party over another, thereby allowing one party to enjoy temporary power over the government that would use it to obtain revenge on the other.

In the beginning Winston and Julia question the Party’s activity, but fear to even think or say aloud how they feel about the Party’s actions. They begin to constantly lie and accumulate secrets which inevitably backs Winston and Julia into a corner, and leaves them with no other choice to betray the Party.

In the US, both the Republican and Democratic Party have emerged from factions…
books, and posters and to change them to something that would better suit the Party’s interests at the time. Orwell described this process “ Day by day almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment ever allowed to stay on record.” (42) In this quote Orwell demonstrates the dangers associated…
Publishers Weekly, 11/19/2001 "Roscoe Owens Conway presided at Albany Democratic Party headquarters, on the eleventh floor of the State Bank building, the main stop for Democrats on the way to heaven."

of education in the US army. As “B.Y.O.B.” is naturally used in the context of garden parties is this song directly addressed to George W. Bush who should fight this war on his own and not by soldiers. This impression is emphasized by “Why don’t presidents fight the war?” (which can also be seen as presidents should fight to stop war) and “Where the F**K are you?” so he should bring his own bombs to the “party” in the “desert”. The Bush-administration and a bigger part of the American population…
authority in power. Winton’s very job is to alter the past in any written document in order to correspond with the present. With this political chokehold, Big Brother possesses the power to not only control the minds of its subjects, but also control the future. The quote, “And when memory failed and written records were falsified—when that happened, the claim of the Party to have improved the conditions of human life had got to be accepted, because there did not exist, and never again could exist, any…
