In the book 1984, by George Orwell, Winston acknowledges that there is no longer any humanity in his society. People are no longer allowed to feel love, or any other emotion. All individuals are the same in the way that they all do the same thing everyday and are not allowed to be different. No one is allowed to express how they feel in anyway, not through art, not through science. However, there will always be power that compels the people to be loyal to the party and only the party. In our society, we see homeless who roam the streets, without food or anywhere to sleep. The homeless are ignored by the rest of society who are able to give and able to help. Society, in some ways, has lost emotions towards homeless we see endlessly. “...no enjoyment of the process of life.” In this quote, we are told that in the future life there will be nothing but a schedule for the people to follow having to do the same thing over and over. To think only what they are told to think. To be loyal to only the party and no other form of living life. In life, humans are distinguished as such because we have emotion. If we lose this sense of emotions, are we still human?
