| | Australian Big Brother Awards (The Orwells) - Australian Privacy Foundation (APF) |
 | | The awards are in the nature of a spoof "Oscars" (the Big Brother Awards have become affectionately known as the "Orwells", after George Orwell, the author of 1984, in which Big Brother first appeared). | | | Each BBA event is held at a national level, with judges and nominees drawn from the relevant country. | | | The inaugural US awards were staged in Washington DC on April 7, 1999, during the 9th Computers Freedom and Privacy (CFP) conference. |

| | As 1984 was originally conceived, Big Brother did not have a speaking role, but director Ridley Scott wanted to give him some lines. | | | Decide for yourself as you read Big Brother's harangue from the full-length, 60-second commercial: | | | The mini-movie would show an athletic young woman, chased by helmeted storm troopers, burst into a dank auditorium in which rows upon rows of slack-jawed, drone-like workers watched an image of Big Brother spouting an ideological diatribe on a huge screen. |

| | Orwell's 1984: Was Orwell Right? |
| | Attempts by law enforcement agencies to obtain more information through informer schemes, through new law enforcement agencies, and through new techniques such as computerization of information, are understandable, but the cumulative effect of such Big Brother activities is to make countries such as the United States, Britain and Australia increasingly totalitarian societies. | | | Many of the predictions made by George Orwell in his book 1984 in relation to "Big Brother" surveillance, corruption of language and control of history have already come about to a great extent in Communist countries and to some extent in the West. | | | The powers of security police in Western countries to intercept mail and tap phones have often been extended, police agencies keep numerous files on law-abiding citizens, and more and more public officials have the right to enter private homes without a warrant. |

| | Beyond the Big Brother Syndrome |
| | The term "Big Brother," of course, refers to the government of Oceania, the setting of George Orwell's classic "1984." In Oceania, ubiquitous posters announced that "Big Brother is watching," and police in helicopters snooped into residents' windows to ensure that no illegal or immoral activities were taking place. | | | Speaking on a public radio program about the privacy vs. public safety issue, John Crew of the ACLU argued that "there's a tendency to assume that every high-tech device is some kind of Big Brotherism. | | | This Special Report is brought to you by: |

| | He is useless to anyone (including the party), and may as well be put to death, but is kept alive, probably as a trophy to Big Brother. | | | They fall in love, but never marry because of existing laws in 1984. | | | Probably the most important thing to remember while reading 1984 is that Orwell never intended the book to be a prediction of the future. |

| | 1984 Summary & Essays - George Orwell |
| | Perhaps the most powerful science fiction novel of the twentieth century, this apocalyptic satire shows with grim conviction how Winston Smiths individual personality is wiped out and how he is recreated in the Partys image until he does not just obey but even loves Big Brother. | | | Some critics have related Winston Smiths sufferings to those Orwell underwent at preparatory school, experiences he wrote about just before 1984. | | | Published in 1948 and set thirty-six years in the future, 1984 is George Orwells dark vision of the future. |

| | 1984: Analysis |
| | This burly but sophisticated leader of the Inner Party is supposed to be the head of the secret Brotherhood dedicated to the overthrow of Big Brother. | | | Indeed, one of Orwell's points is that life in 1984 has become totally uniform. | | | In 1984, when Oldspeak is still the normal mean of communication, the danger theoretically exists that in using Newspeak words one might remember their original meanings. |

| | The album's thoughts about Big Brother watching its citizens and manipulating their thought patterns are displayed in the two most 1984-themed tracks, "1984" and "Big Brother." "1984" is more or less a warning from Winston Smith to beware Big Brother and keep government from taking too much control. | | | "1984," to be honest, seems like more of a beginning to things, as opposed to an end, but it does go well as a lead-in track to the final track "Big Brother."

| | Jonah Goldberg on Big Brother, 1984, and the Media on National Review Online |
| | Not only was Big Brother never here in the first place, but the knee-jerk belief that he was here reflects precisely the sort of ideological brainwashing 1984 was supposed to be warning us against. | | | I'm sure there are kids in Ivy League English classes right now who think that Big Brother existed in 1984 (the year) because that was the name of the book. | | | The roots of this Big Brother mythology are deep and intricate, but surely it arises in part because of the general liberal conviction that the past is bad and Big Brother is bad, thus — since we don't have Big Brother now — he must have existed in the past. |

| | Winston Smith, member of the Outer Party, a small, petty cog in the great machination of "Big Brother", tries to step out from the shadow of his life in George Orwell's now masterpiece, "1984". | | | The notorious Big Brother, the faceless autocrat in charge of Orwell's nightmare world (incidentally, it is never established whether Big Brother is a single man or a surreptitious group superciliously dealing justice to the masses), mercilessly dominates life on Oceania, one of three nations in existence. | | | It is an illustration, as well, of the need of consolidation and the hopelessness that such a government can be beaten: Winston, after waging a personal crusade for his secret freedom, winds up a brainwashed pawn of Big Brother. |

Winston and Julia become lovers and eventually confess their feelings of rebelliousness to OBrien, a fellow coworker who is believed to be a member of a rebel group, the Brotherhood. | | | Metaphysics, or the belief that there is existence beyond our comprehension, is represented by Big Brother when the reader learns about doublethink, the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in ones mind simultaneously and fully accepting both. |
