Manipulating the past, creating fear and hatred out of nothing, and wiping out the existence of individuals; reality control once been applied will demolish people’s freedom. In 1984 Oceania built a dictatorship of totalitarianism. The party rules with fear, brainwash, and manipulation. History may be regarded as truth from the past, but it sometimes can also be a means to convey ideology or patriotism in modern society. If the government wants their citizens to remember a defeat in history that was shameful they will write accordingly in the textbook, so the next generation can hold the same agreement. The extreme measure of manipulating history is described by George Orwell as reality control in the book.
