- Individuals have no privacy, because they are watched at all time, even in their homes. Even inside the apartment, Winston, the main character, is well aware that the Big Brother and the telescreens are watching.
- The creation of institutions like "Thoughtcrime" that are in charge of spying for the government so as to make sure no individual is acting outside the Big Brother's law.
- Propaganda and programs like the "Two Minutes Hate" one that unify the society's emotion so that the government can control them all.
