In 1984 the the news that is called the Ministry of Truth. The inner party tells the Ministry of Truth what to write no matter if it's true or not. For an example If on monday sugar rations are 10g and then on Friday they go down to 5g the news will say that the sugar rations have when up to 5g when in reality that when down 5g But the people living in Oceania are brainwashed to live in the present so they don't know what the sugar rations was a few day so they just believe whatever the news tells them. Another way they use the news to control there people with the news is with the ongoing wars that never end for instance if Oceania is at war with Eurasia and we are about to win it switch so the war will never be won and if Eurasia is about to win then it will switch and they will say something like they are now retreating or they will make it so we are allies with the state we were at war with. This way they are all the way at war. then they can use the war as a distraction to what is really going on

- The way the news is manipulated is both 1984 and in North Korea Is not a utopian it's more Dystopia in North Korea because the kim family just wants to have control over there people. In 1984 there was a since of the idea of making a more stable society after the nuclear war, then over time it became more dystopian. I think the idea of the news being controlled by the government can be used to make a utopian society but mostly leads to a dystopian.

Nazi Germany and in 1984 they had there own police to act out there drty work. There were some differences due to technology with the tvs with cameras and microphones but today we do have the technology to do something like that. But other than that the two police forces did the same duty, to control the people of Oceania and Germany. The idea of having a police force in a society can be eutopic but the way the Nazi Germany and in Oceania were very dystopic.
Peoples Republic Of China is a example of a current totalitarian regimes in China they have cameras ever where that are watching you at to see if you are following the rules just like Big brother puts tvs in you room to watch your ever move.
In the book the tv are there to spy on you and to watch just like the cameras in china have faces recognition the tvs know who you are

In China and 1984 they have basically the same thing only difference is that in China you get black listed and in 1984 you get tortured. In 1984 it's very dystopic and in China it seems to be dystopic to because the government is corrupt. Although it could be used to make a eutopic if it warrant for the corruption.
In the world we live in today it would be very easy for some one to take over and make are world to be like 1984 if we did have a nuclear war. we already have all the technology it takes to get there.
