In Orwells invention 1984 Winston claims that, It was almost normal for people over thirty to be excite of their own children. And with good fountain, for hardly a week passed in which the Times did not carry a paragraph describing how some eavesdropping little sneakchild hero was the phrase generally usedhad overheard some compromising remark and denounced his parents to the Thought Police. the children of 1984 are used as a separate police host to monitor the actions of the people around them, including their parents.

The concept was first popularized by George Orwells dystopian novel nineteen Eighty-Four.In Nineteen Eighty-Four the retentiveness hole is a small chute jumper lead to a large incinerator used for censorship In the walls of the cubicle there were three orifices. To the right of the speak write, a small pneumatic tube for write messages, to the left, a larger one for newspapers and in the side wall, within easy reach of Winstons arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not solo in every room but at short intervals in every corridor.For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it i n, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the fantastic furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building. In the novel, the memory hole is a slot into which government officials squeeze politically inconvenient documents and records to be destroyed.Nineteen Eighty-Fours protagonist Winston metalworker, who works in the Ministry of Truth, is routinely assigned the lying-in of revising old newspaper articles in order to serve the propaganda interests of the government. For example, if the government had pledged that the chocolate ration would not fall below the current 30 grams per week, but in fact the ration is lessen to 20 grams per week, the historical record (for example, an article from a back issue of the Times newspaper) is revised to entertain an announcement that a reduction to 20 grams might soon prove necessary, or that the ration, then 15 grams, would soon be increased to that number.The original copies of the historical re cord are deposited into the memory hole. A document placed in the memory hole is supposedly transported to an incinerator from which not even the ash remains. However, as with almost all claims made by the Party in this novel, the truth is left ambiguous and the commentator is not told whether the documents are truly destroyed. For example, a picture which Winston throws into one early in the novel is produced later on during his torture session, if only to be thrown back in an instant later.Nineteen Eighty-Four (sometimes written 1984) is a 1949 dystopian novel by George Orwell about an oligarchical, collectivist society.

Theories of brainwashing and of mind control were originally developed to explain how totalitarian regimes appeared to succeed in systematically indoctrinating prisoners of war through propaganda and torture techniques.These theories were later expanded and modified, by psychologists including Margaret Singer, to explain a wider range of phenomena, curiously conversions to new religious movements (NRMs). A third-generation theory proposed by Ben Zablocki focused on the utilizati on of mind control to retain members of NRMs and cults to convert them to a new religion. The suggestion that NRMs use mind control techniques has resulted in scientific and legal controversy. Neither the American Psychological Association nor the American Sociological Association has found any scientific merit in such theories.
