Likewise, to the citizens in Oceania, they are people in today’s society who are restricted for certain human rights. These violations of human rights usually take places in a totalitarian country where the government restricted its citizens of some of their human rights such as the right to privacy. As William Pfaff said, “The defining characteristic of totalitarianism is its assault on privacy. The individual in a totalitarian state is deprived of privacy in order to destroy his or her liberty” (cite). A recent example, is what is been happening in North Korea. In North Korea, the government restricted people from having any unauthorized technology devices inside their house and those that are authorized are supervised by the government.
