I use the classic book, 1984 by George Orwell, and the scholarly research of Riadh T. Abed of the Rotherham District General Hospital in the U.K. to examine the similarities. This relates to our studies on the importance of developing individualism. BIG BROTHER AND YOUR MENTAL HEALTH Tyranny and Mental Health – Article outlines the mental health problems of those living under totalitarian governments. – The problem deserves the “attention of health professionals, given the widespread and                 devastating effects tyrannical regimes can have on the lives of their victims” (Abed pars. 1). – The article documents the effects of the rule of Saddam Hussein on the people of Iraq.  The           regime of Saddam Hussein “engaged in political assassinations of its opponents, detention           without trial…ethnic cleansing…and by 1977, civil society ceased to exist” (Abed pars 13).  – Connection:  > The characteristics of totalitarian regimes as outlined by Riadh T. Abed are compared                    to those experienced by Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four. The goal is to reveal                      some of the mental struggles many around the world face today.  In the novel,                                  Winston struggles to find his voice, to find a sense of self, to be an individual. Both the                    novel and the article show the mental toll this takes on an individual. – Similarities: > Tyranny and Mental Health             * “Totalitarian regimes remove protection for the individual from the state”                                           (Abed, pars. 6)             * Totalitarian regimes “destroy trust between individuals by rendering every                                      citizen a potential informer” (Abed, pars. 7)             * Totalitarian regimes use “terror as a routine instrument of governance” (Abed,                                 pars. 6).             * Totalitarian regimes must have a “condition of continuous internal or external                                   war against real and imaginary enemies” (Abed, pars. 10).             * Totalitarian regimes perpetuate a state of “misery and deprivation” (Abed, pars.                               8).             * Totalitarian regimes oppress citizens by removing  “autonomous decision-                                         making and action in whole areas of life” (Abed, pars. 6). >  Nineteen Eighty-Four             * Winston purchases a diary from a junk shop.  He hides from the all-seeing                                           telescreen and writes his thoughts, “Down with Big Brother” (Orwell 19).             * Winston fears his neighbor’s children who are training as junior Spies for the                                     Party. At first, he fears Julia, “She may be an agent of the Thought Police”(Orwell                               11).             * Winston is eventually arrested and tortured for seven years.  He snaps at the                                     threat of rats eating the flesh on his face.             * Winston is constantly trying to figure out what countries Oceania is at war with                               at the moment (Orwell 181).             * The novel has numerous references to the sights and smells of food. Winston                                     and Julia enjoy food purchased on the black market.             * The Party seeks to eliminate the need for the love relationship between men                                     and women in marriage. The Party’s eventual  goal is to produce children                                           entirely through artificial insemination. – Why Should I Care About This?             > Millions of people in other countries live under the oppression of totalitarian regimes             > Those who escape may suffer from “posttraumatic stress disorder, depression and                          anxiety” (Shin, et al pars. 2)             > We should speak out for those who do not have a voice.              > We should value our rights, vote, and participate in our government. – Works Cited Image Big Brother https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Big_Brother_(Nineteen_Eighty-Four) Image George Orwell. 1940 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:George_Orwell,_c._1940.jpg#filehistory Image Hands                         https://thepolitic.org/a-civic-duty-students-want-schools-to-teach-citizenship/ Image Riadh T.
