The influence of a totalitarian regime on society

Abstract

In the second half of the twentieth century, bringing the truth to the forefront and reflecting reality in an unembellished manner became very relevant topics. Writers warned us about upcoming destruction, social realities, hardship, brutality and the chaos existing in the world. The main question was common – what will happen to the world, if people do not study how to resist? Anthony Burgess answers this question through his novel “A Clockwork Orange.” People will lose their freedom, individuality and will turn into mechanical beings just like the main character of the story – Alex. The desire of a totalitarian government is to influence society and attain the intended outcome at any price. Therefore, the main theme of "A Clockwork Orange” is to domineer, control and turn human minds through violent methods.What is considered beneficial for society is solely determined by the totalitarian government. As time elapses, the scale of total control over individuals increases. They lose their freedom of choice and individuality. Eventually, society obeys the rules that will lead humanity to a destructive outcome. To prevent this, dystopian writers warned us and clearly conveyed the main message in their works. It is time for society to be awaken.
