In Orwell's book "1984", Winston lives at “Victory Mansions,” drinks “Victory Gin,” and smokes “Victory Cigarettes.” When he can

find them, he probably uses “Victory” razor blades too. Why is everything called “Victory”? Does it make people feel more positive about the future? What are some examples of this kind of naming in our own society?

Everything is called victory because the society that he lives in tries to create a utopia in the sense that one is does not desire anything more than one has. In 1984, the government is trying to create a sense of contentment, a sense that their society is optimal. This is basically just another way of trying to keep the people, like Winston, from wondering what else the world has to offer, and uncovering secrets. In Winston's case, it doesn't necessarily make him feel more positive about the future; rather, it makes him feel a little perturbed, for he doesn't feel "victorious". Regarding others in the community, the word "Victory" seems to have lost in meaning. There is no longer power to it. "Victory" is an everyday word, implying that after victory, there is only content. This connotation that "victory" has, seems to affect people in one of two ways. The first, is to make them almost depressed, thinking that there is, perhaps, nothing to look forward to. The second is that it makes people feel as the government intended, content. They truly believe that they are living in the post-victory society, where all problems have been addressed, and evils conquered.

Of the 1.3 billion people living in poverty around the world 70 percent are women sociologists view this as evidence of what
Naddik [55]

gender inequality

According the (debatable) statistic that states 70% of the world’s poor are women, the crisis is mainly caused by gender inequality. Two- thirds of the world’s illiterate are women because of gender discrimination, more hurdles to social and economic well-being. This is noted in pay gaps, distorted ownership of assets, the discrimination that women should spend more time and energy in family rearing than building a career etc.

 Gender equality and women empowerment can correct this dilemma and it can lead to societies’ sustainable development.
