In the book 1984, by George Orwell, individuals are only accepted by being a certain way. When an individual such as Winston, who is seen to be different or doing what is unacceptable to society, is forced to conform. On page 290, Winston commits a crime. The crime leads him to the ministry of love where he is to be conformed to society. In the ministry of love the form of conforming is to torture and brainwash individuals to be fit into societies ways. Today in our time, we are conformed to be what we are told to be. Starting in kindergarten we are put into school, set into a strict schedule; when we are to eat, when we are to play, when we are to speak our minds. Kindergarten is the gate way to conformity, forcing each student into tight rooms, only allowed to speak when raising our hands. After school is over we are sent home to focus our minds on homework, where there is one answer to a problem or one choice to choose from. Is it wrong, or right? In the book the word “dismembered” is used. In relation to the society of 1984, in our lives we are dismembered by our family. Within our families, there are expectation that are to be met. If you are different, then you are put down or convinced to be as the other members in your family. Many aspects of our society are based on conformity such as 1984.
