Big Brother?

In George Orwell's novel 1984 "Big Brother" is everywhere. It controls how the characters act, think and feel. One wrong move and you could be vaporized from existence. What is Big Brother to Orwell's character's? The physical establishment is the ministries, that control all aspects of the citizen's lives, including being able to erase and/or rewrite history.

 This is probably going to sound weird, but Big Brother in our society today, I believe is very similar to Big Brother in 1984, the government. I don't want to sound crazy or paranoid, but with the amount of technology that is in our world today, do you ever wonder if someone may be checking up on you? Big Brother could also be as simple as your boss at work watching the video feeds while you're working to make sure you're doing your job right. Privacy I think exist to an extent, in your own home you can do whatever you want, but when you step outside your front door, privacy goes out the window. I think that some people would give up basic freedoms to feel safe, myself NOT included. Freedoms have be fought for and won over the years, I feel safe in my environment and would never give up the freedoms that I have.
