| Go to Home - Most Recent Posts[George] Orwell was much concerned about the very close relationship between advertising and propaganda. In many languages there are not two words, as there are in English, to distinguish between these two functions. They are considered synonymous. By showing how important the telescreen and its images are in the society of Oceania, Orwell also shows how important advertising and its ideals have become in our own society. The methods of advertising work as well for political ideologies as they do for refrigerators and washing machines. — Cliff Notes on Orwell’s 1984 (1997 printing) pp. 13-14
