Content: Time is excluded from the neurobiology of perception” (Clune 32). The Party removes the power of an individual over his mind and they use language to implant their own ideals so that they can take absolute power. The purpose of the invention of “Newspeak” in 1984 is to limit the range of thought. The Party empties the minds of the Party members and fills them with its own doctrine. Newspeak is an effective means of control because its aim is to make all other ways of speaking and thinking impossible, removing any sort of individualistic ideas and removing all freedom of thought. The Party has complete control over the citizens of Oceania with the use of its language. Because language is the foundation of civilization, destroying language and replacing it with Party doctrine will destroy civilization in the sense that it will no longer be free and human. When we become insensitive to the power of language, we are “dehumanized”. If we are not able to recognize that language is being misused, then we are exposed to powers which would victimize us (Bartel 46). Many citizens do not recognize that they are being oppressed.
