1984 #3

I agree with this statement. Winston's belief is applicable to the world we live in today because no matter how many people aren't willing to stand up for what they believe in, there are those who will come together and do what they know is right. It reminds me of a show called "What Would You Do?". In the show, there are many different scenarios in public places that see what viewers will do in what they think is a real situation. A couple situations are: seeing pilots drink alcohol an hour before flying, people yelling at a mentally disabled person bagging groceries, and a waiter refusing to serve gay couples and their families. The people in the show who stand up for what's right in the world show that most people have the decency and morals to help show the inherent nature of individuals.
