Take one of the slogans of The Party and analyze its meaning (WAR IS PEACE; FREEDOM IS SLAVERY; IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH). What is The Party trying to get the people to believe?
I am choosing to analyze the slogan "IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH." I liked this one the most because it can relate to our society too.
I think "IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH" means that not knowing something or the reality of something is strength. If you don't know it, you won't wonder about it or want to know more about it. It's kind of like the saying "the more I know, the less I know," which means that the more I know about something, the more I realize I don't know that much about other things.
So, basically, "IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH" is trying to get people to believe that not knowing what's going on is strong because you wouldn't know what to compare it to to be weak.
