In Winston's society, Oceania, the government has all of the power, and they want to rid of crime or even thoughtcrime completely. Their vocabulary actually gets smaller, and eliminates so many different words. That way, everybody has the same intelligence level, or equal, and they even get rid of all words with a bad denotation. This will eventually result in no crime at all because it is not even part of the language.
There is no religion in this society so far, and it is actually stated that everyone is basically single, or without a relationship, in the society. People think they are happy because they do not know any different. they cannot even think unhappy words. they attempt to make all equal by getting rid of any element that would make things unequal.
