RE: Do you feel that the basic elements of the novel '1984' are actually happening in the present world?
Other: We're not there yet, but could be if certain modern day and very present political ideologies get their way or get into power. Sometimes, what seems like a good idea because it's suiting to your life situation isn't really a good idea. It seems there are many people that want others to put in the effort and do the work, while they sit back and enjoy the rewards. They just feel entitled, like they are deserving but others are not. If entire societies around the earth adopt this belief, there will be no one left doing anything, and we will die off. Those societies and cultures who never had much to begin with and know how to survive by taking action, and with very little, will be the survivors.
I think we are already in there but, the extent and intensity of the level of authority vary in every situation and every condition.
