Orwell’s 1984 continues to reverberate in modern culture, decades after it was first written. A clear example of this is Orwell’s creation of the word Doublethink. Doublethink is used a great deal in modern day society such as in News, Blogs and Tweets. The word Doublethink has been increasingly used in America especially by the Politicians as either a demonstration of someone using it or in the practicing of doublethink. Another example of an Orwellian word is Telescreen this features much more in modern society than me may realise. Either camera, GPS tracking systems on our phones or the Internet, are constantly surveying us. This leads us to believe that we are not a free as we may be led to believe is. Is this the practice of doublethink? Another term stemming from Orwell is the word Orwellian features a great deal in British Politics and has been used as a criticism of either being old fashioned or a totalitarian government. This is how George Orwell's 1984 continues to appear in modern society.
