1984, the year of my birth and what else???

Civilisations are becoming more and more selfish for preparing they own utopian lives but why have we become so selfish?

The book 1984 (image below) by George Orwell may explain why. I can see by how Orwell story writtern 40 years before its setting in 1948 that our world in the future can become so manipulated to become selfish. 1984 is a dystopian novel about how after a global war the world is run by 3 main states, one which is Oceania formally know as england, this state was ruled by a dictated power structure called Big Brother who watched nearly everyones lives through surveillance.

   It is this dictating party who was responsible for the destruction of main character Wilson Smiths family that lead him to work for them with an alternative motive to rebel and destroy Big Brother. During this quest Smith falls in love with julia, which in the end becomes his downfall. Big Broth finds out and captures, imprison, interrogate and torture him after he was betrayed by a false reblien friend, In the end he betrays the reliance and julia who in turns betrays him after they where faced with there fears. After all is done and they are both brained washed to love Big Brother they then meet in a park and confess to each other

"I betrayed you", she said baldly.

"I betrayed you", he said.

She gave him another quick look of dislike.

"Sometimes", she said, "they threaten you with something - something you can't stand up to, can't even think about. And then you say, 'Don't do it to me, do it to somebody else, do it to so-and-so.' And perhaps you might pretend, afterwards, that it was only a trick and that you just said it to make them stop and didn't really mean it. But that isn't true. At the time when it happens you do mean it. You think there's no other way of saving yourself and you're quite ready to save yourself that way. You want it to happen to the other person. You don't give a damn what they suffer. All you care about is yourself."

"All you care about is yourself", he echoed.

"And after that, you don't feel the same toward the other person any longer."

"No", he said, "you don't feel the same."

I feel this is a prime example of when controlling power that is placed with in an government run party, they can create a society that has, over time, been worn down from wanting an community or union living conditions to become very selfish and ignorent of their current countries situation, because the alternative to care and try to help others could be like hitting your head against a brick wall.

In conclusion their many, many reasons why human beings are becoming selfish and it is this selfishness that is killing our world.
