Language as the "ultimate weapon" in Nineteen eignty-four

1984, the novel that criticize more than just the restrict governments and the authoritarian state of his own dystopia, goes beyond and tries to make conscience in the readers about the importance of language in our way of thinking, or at least this is the premise of the article for reading this week. The language is crucial for each of us, to maintain the society running, that’s a good point for the article and the way that it’s explained to us as a think changer make more important to analyze our environment related to our speaking.

As is told to us by several authors here, the media and the language make a huge impact on our diary life, those manipulate our thinking, and our ability to communicate and to develop our mind. I think that as it’s showed to us in the book of Orwell that the power that implies the control over the words is just as high as the control of the memory and the fear among the population.

Other thing that seems interesting to me it’s the heavy focus on the memory and the use of the media to manipulate the history, the reaction of the people in front a situation like their country fighting constantly in a war, or to front the constant reduce of rations of chocolate or tobacco. The influence in the constant exposure of the media announcements to the protagonist of the books it’s the high that even at some point Smith has troubles remembering with what other super continent were the war conflict.

For my last thoughts I can say that it could be applicable not only for our diary life, but also to use it in our professional life, the more we can learn about different programming languages means the less we are tied to our own limitations and the more we can expand our thinking.
