Research Help

Next Monday, I am doing a debate. I am supposed to talk about how our government is becoming one where they control us. In my case, I have to discuss how war equals peace. Yet the two contradict each other in their meanings. I can use what evidence I gather to help me in my debate. If you have any suggestions that I can use to further me in my gathering of sources, please say so.
Topic: War is Peace
Deadline: Sunday of next week (December 10, 2006)

Well, you might want to read 1984, where the idea of doublethink (War is peace, good is bad, resistance is compliance, etc.) was essentially created.

As for sources, I can't really think of any. This isn't a debate of facts, it's trying to twist concepts around, and there really isn't any source for that that I can think of. However, these links might help:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak

In the sence that the other two topics are "Freedom is Slavery" and "Ignorance is Strength"? Or in a completely non-Orwellian sence? Or a mixture of both?

A copy of 1984 can be had anywhere you can find books. At the end od the Second Part (of three) you will find the main charater reading a book called The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, one of the chapter's is entitled "War is Peace", and that would be a good place to start.

I have read 1984. It is a very good book. Thank you for your help though. thanks Pie. It is an activity to drill Orwel into out brains.
