Psychological Manipulation in 1984
As an ordinary citizen born into in a respectable democratic society, I grew up with the opportunity of having a government that treated its citizens fairly while providing them a set of human rights. However, this is not the same case for all countries around the world, as citizens may not always be granted rights or privileges by their government. These governments are generally more focused on their personal goals, often times prioritizing power over the well-being of their citizens. Through the use of psychological manipulation, governments are able to govern their citizens one step further, effectively controlling their citizens to keep them from challenging their power. Psychological manipulation is a form of influence which intends to change the perception and behavior of others through means of deceptive and abusive tactics. Within a dystopian society, these tactics are generally used to brainwash citizens into believing any information told to them by the government. In the novel 1984, written by George Orwell, Oceania’s government, the Party, uses psychological manipulation in order to keep its citizens from challenging the Party’s authority. They utilize in order to influence one’s self to become obedient towards the party, further strengthening their reign. Examples of how psychological manipulation was used in 1984: Big Brother
