    Torture is a sign of justice. I agree with President Trumps about the justice that he did but I didn’t believe that it be called as “torture”. What some people don’t understand about this situation is that Trump didn’t kill people, all he did was take down three major weapons from the country. We’ll never live in a world that will forever be peaceful. We’ll always live in a world that goes to violence no matter what the problem(s) there is/are. I think Winston is happier that he doesn’t have to fight against “Big Brother” anymore because he can now live with the person that he loves the most. He can now live the life he wants to live and BB will not be up on top of him.

    Torture can be justified because if people did something bad to someone else, someones family might want the bad people to suffer and tortured. Because torturing someone who did somethign bad is karma. I agree with President Trump about what he believes in torture. Sometimes you can drive out hate with hate. In reality, our world will never be without violnce and hate because it is impossible. I think Winston may be happy because he doesnt have to fight big brother anymore because now he can live in peace without worrying.

    Torture can't be justified.I disagree with President Trump because using torture degrades our society and it goes against our Bill of Rights. We can't claim to protect people against cruel and unusual punishments when we support methods of torture. Hate can't drive out hate, things can only change by setting a better example. We won't ever have a world that doesn't use violence to get what they want because there will always be weapons and people who don't think non-violence is effective. I think Winston is happier that he won't have to fight against big brother anymore and he can go back to his life as an ignorant citizen.

    Torture can be justified because if someone had information pertaining the a bomb that would kill thousands of innocents people, you would want to know about it. I agree with President Trump about what he believes in torture. You can sometimes drive out hate with hate. In our world, this world can never be without violence. However, I think Winston is happy because he won't have to fight against big brother anymore. He can live in peace without worrying.

    That is a tough question to answer, is hurting another human being morally wrong? Then my answer would be YES, but if the question is, if torturing one human being in a time of war, morally right, if it saves a million lives? Then my answer would be Yes. I guess the real question should be, When is torture not seen as morally wrong? For example if someone tortures a child or innocent person is that morally wrong? Then the answer is Yes, but is it morally wrong to torture a prisoner of war if it can save million of lives? Then the answer would be NO. I don't believe that one can drive out hate from hate, but we live in a world of survival. It's sad to say, but in our world especially when in comes to politics, kindness is considered a sign of weakness. Other powerful countries wouldn't hesitate to conquer. I don't believe that we will ever live in a world without violence, our world is too tainted, money and power make human beings act inhuman. I also don't believe that Winston is happier that he doesn't have to fight Big Brother any longer, when you lose the will to fight, a person dies inside. Big Brother has succeed in their task, Winston is dead inside, walking among the dead, their is no future.

    Torture can not be justified because it is illegal in he united states and it goes against our human rights. I do disagree with trump because torture just brings more chaos. Hate can ot drive out hate only love can do that its just like trying to fight fire with fire. I believe we will never have a world with out problems because everyone has different opinions on things which makes it hard to get along. I believe that Winston is happier but still wants to make a change.

    Torture would not ever be justified because it is illegal. Torturing someone is causing them pain and damage to them emotionally, physically, and psychologically. I do not agree with President Trumps idea on torture. It may work but it is not necessary. It is inflicting pain on someone and they may not even be at fault or know any information. I do not know if we will ever have a world that relies on violence to solve conflicts. There will always be conflict and it can be solved in many ways. I think that he is happier that he does not have to fight against big brother but he is also sad because he would have been happier if he was able to love Julia and have free will.

    Torture is justifiable if the safety of many innocent people is on the line and the person being torture is 100% related or part of the crime. I Agree with President Trump on his opinion of using water boarding as a torture technique because it gets the information required out of the criminal. However, you can’t drive out hate with hate because that will just create more tension and if one the sides wins the battle it will just be temporarily because someone will always want revenge. We will never have a world that doesn’t use violence to solve world wide issues that affect us all. I say that because human history revolves around violence, you could even say that its our natural instinct to use violence to feel powerful and solve our issues. Winston is happier now that he doesn’t have to fight Big Brother because he no longer has to worry about getting caught or losing his life for betraying the party.

    Torture can be justified in some circumstances , it depends on what the person did and the type of torture they get. I personally disagree with Donald Trumps beliefs about torture because many people believe that he would want more chaos to happen. I think interrogation should be used for someone who is very dangerous in my perspective. I believe that our world would never change on violent issues. Everyday there will always be violence and unsafe conditions. I believe that Winston is much happier because he does not have to fight against Big Brother because he overcame his issues and he can live normally.

    I don't think torture an be justified because there are other ways of punishment and other ways of gaining information. I do not agree with President Trump's beliefs about torture. I don't believe you can drive out hate with hate, torture will only cause more hate and conflicts between people and countries . I don't think we will ever have a world that doesn't rely on violence to solve issues because people always wants to do the worst things to get back at their enemies. I think he is somewhat happy because he doesn't have to go through the torture anymore, I believe he was also brainwashed into loving "Big Brother."

    Torture can not be justified. I strongly disagree with President Trump because torture goes against our rights. We say that we can protect everyone from cruel and harsh punishment yet torture is still supported. It is not legal in the United States. Hate cannot be driven out with hate because two wrongs do not make a right. It would just cause more problems in society. Since everyone often disagrees on topics I feel we will not obtain a world without problems. Winston is happy now because he does not have to worry about getting caught or fighting Big Brother.

    Torture can't be justified because it is illegal torturing someone causes pain. I disagree with president Trump about torture because it can cause more problems for people and instead of torturing we can protect the people. No you can't drive out hate with hate because hating is not a good thing. I think we will have a world without violence because there will be a time that torturing people will be banned. No I don't think Winston is happier because he was tortured and now he has to do what big brother tells him.

    I believe that torture is justifiable when neccessary. It shouldn’t be practice on innocent civilians, instead be enforced on individuals that have a history of violence or torture (dictators, murderers, rapists, etc.). I don’t believe that we will ever live in a society without violent for the simple fact that everyone is born with a positive and negative. It’s up to an individual on which side they will portray in society. We have no control over the thoughts and actions of the person next to us. Destruction in a society is inevitable.

  17. I think that torture is justified depending on the situation, if one person makes them suffer then they should suffer too. However it shouldn’t be used on innocent people. I agree with Trump because I don’t believe it was torture. I don’t think you can drive hate without hate because getting revenge on someone doesn’t always solve the problem. I think Winston is happy because he can finally think on his own now and be free. We will always live around crime because people feel the need to , I think it can stop if we stop it the right way.

  18. Yes I believe torture can me justified because we get information out of bad people through torture. I don’t think trump is doing a specific type of torture. Torture methods have been around for many years. We will never be able to have a society without violence because society was built on violence. I don’t think that Winston is happy because he was forced to commit his actions.

  19. I believed torture is justified only if somebody harms another person, which means that if they suffer because of someone's they should suffer too. I agree with trumps statement about torture because I believe that people should be tortured only if they torture others. I also believe that our society will always live in violence. I dont believe winston is happy becaue he is now brainwashed and he niw has to follow big brother now.

    Torture cannot be justified because sometimes the wrong people get accused of things and get mentally and physically destroyed. Sometimes according to sources it doesn’t work people just say what other people want to hear so they can stop being tortured.

    No torture can not be justified it is looked at as a way to get back at someone just to find a sense of complete. I do not agree with Trumps beliefs about tourture because tourture doesn’t work to get information and it would just be done to hurt because they hurt. Ultimately hate can not be drove out with hate it would only bring out more hate. We will never be able to live in a world where we don’t rely on violence to take what we want. I do not believe Winston is happier because he was forced to conform to the beliefs of big brother.

    Torture cannot be justified because its a cruel and unusual punishment that is illegal in our constitution. People should never have to be treated against their rights and be harmed. Torture is something that should be banned from every country and not done. There is better less drastic ways to get information from people. Also torture gets fake results from people.

  24. For the most part torture is not justifiable because it’s a violation of our human rights. It’s just at situations like if there is a terrorist and he has information that can save a lot of people but he won’t give those information, than if you torture him to get the information it is justifiable. I disagree with trump because when head of the government says something like this I feel like our rights are in danger. Hate with hate is not a solution because you can’t reduce fire with fire. I don’t believe Winston is happy because he is brainwashed.

    Torture can never be justified. It will never be okay and torture doesn’t do anything but cause pain and misleading information. People getting torture would do anything for it to stop that they’ll lie or try to escape. Torture hurts an individual mentally and physically. There is no point because no matter what this world will always have wars and conflicts. I disagree with trump you can’t drive hate with hate. No matter what it will always result in bad. We will never have a world without issue no matter how hard we try to resolve certain issues. In my opinion I think Winston is happier because their was so many problems when he was fighting big brother and so many conflicts that now he can just live in peace and never have to be involved in an issue. Big brother will always win no matter what.

  29. Torture can not and will never be justified because it is inhumane. No matter on what the circumstances is, no one deserves to he tortured. I disagree with presidents trumps views on torture because I believe that it is not needed. There are other ways to get you want than to punish others. Society will never be without a form of torture because of social media and the way how people portray it. Some tv shows portray it to be good and some portray it to be bad but either way people still watch both. No one will do anything to fix it until a big problem takes place.

  30. No Winston is not happier, after the interrogation and after he was brainwashed from the severe torture, he had believed that he loves big brother, but previously we as the reader are constantly being shown how much he didn't believe in what they were teaching. This shows us that although he now "loves" Big Brother we know that he wouldn't ever say or think something like this if he was still in control of being able to do that.

    Torture can’t be justified due to the fact that it is unethical and illegal in our country. Torture shouldn’t be allowed or taken in consideration as a method of punishment, people who have this kind of mindset can lead to have mental problems in a future. I disagree with Donald Trump that torture should be used against those who wants to harm the country, there’s many other solutions rather than physically hurt someone. Torturing that human being wouldn’t lead to a decrease in violence nor stop terrorism it is only a way to take anger out, the way out of violence doesn’t require more violence. Winston isn’t happy that he has to fight against big brother anymore because he is manipulated by him and told to believe something against his beliefs, he wanted to stand up for himself and everyone and find out the truth but he become to be like the rest of them.

    Torture should not be justified because it's simply inhumane. I disagree with President Trump's beliefs because he simply wants nothing more but attention from the American people.

    Torture isn’t the answer. If we give out hate and pain we will only get it in return. Two wrongs doesn’t make a right and it’s scary that trump things torture can help us in anyway.

    Torture can only be justified if it has a valid reason behind it. In life-threatening situations where a person's life or multiple lives may be at risk, it can be justified if it will allow you to gain information that can save people. As it stands, torture is inhumane and wrong, but it's necessary to ensure the safety of other people. I disagree with Trump as he advocates torture as a solution to any problem.

    Torture can't be justified. Not only is it illegal, it's detrimental to ones mental and physical health. Torture may also set a bad example to the people. I disagree with president Trump about what he believes in torture. Physically and mentally hurting someone is just bad and unacceptable. You can't drive out hate with hate. This world will always have violence. Everything is settled with violence. Lastly, Winston isn't happy because big brother manipulated him.

    Torture can be justified. Debating on the situation torture can be justified, if we are in danger and the government needs to go through extreme measures in order to get information i feel like they should. I dont really agree with trump, in some situations you can not drive out hate with hate. In this world the government may feel as if violence is key, and in some situations this can be the answer to their solution. In my opinion winston is happy that he doesnt have to fight against big brother.

    Torture can be justified in some situations. I say this because sometimes it’s necessary to use torture. I agree and then disagree with trump. Torture is only sometimes the answer.
    I don’t think you can drive hate out with hate because it’ll only cause more chaos and more hate than peace. We most likely would never be able to live in a violence free world because the government uses violence so much in today’s society that they don’t know a world without violence. Also I think Winston is happier without “big brother” in his life.

    I don't believe torture can be justified because its just not something humans should do to each other. Whether they did committed a crime or not, there should be other ways to reprimand a person for their behavior. I agree with presidents Trump's believes about torture, because it does work but its not something we as human beings should do to each other because its not right. No, I don't believe you can drive out hate with hate, same reason why you shouldn't fight fire with fire. It just won't get you anywhere and will make the situation critical. I don't think we won't live in a world where the world doesn't rely on violence because everyone believes violence is the answer. its been like thats for years. I do think Winston is happier that he doesn't have to fight against big brother anymore because he's not getting tortured or manipulated anymore.

I do believe Winston is happier no that he doesn't have to fight with Big Brother anymore, I Think it took a lot of his energy.

    I dont believe torture can be justified , it cant be justified because torture is the worst thing you can do to a human being. I agree with President Trumps beliefs about torture because torture is effective in investigative situations but its not something thats right to be done to another human being.I dont think we will ever have a world that doesn’t rely on violence to solve global social, political or economic issues because we know that through violence it is effective enough to solve these issues. I do think Winston is happier because he doesnt have to think about the past , he doesnt have to be in fear of getting caught in going against the party.

    I believe that torture can be justified in certain instances. If there is evidence that connects an individual to a crime or future attack, then torturing that person in order to potentially save lives would be worth it. However, there has been times when innocent people have been tortured and even killed. I disagree with Trump's views on torture because torture is inhumane and isn't even effective because those who are dangerous are determined to keep their plans a secret. They will give up false information in order to save themselves. It is not possible to drive out hate with more hate because hatred will only cause more hatred; you can't force peace.

  58. I believe torture can be justified depending on the circumstances. I don't necessarily agree with Trump's believes of torture however if his believes is saving millions of lives i will support it. You can not drive out hate with hate because " Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right". We will never have a world with violence because it is human nature to be violent even if we don't want to or mean it. I think Winston is happy, but on the other hand i also think that he isn't happy because he isn't fighting bib brother any more.

    Torture is justifiable if the safety of many innocent people is on the line and the person being torture is 100% related or part of the crime. I Agree with President Trump on his opinion of using water boarding as a torture technique because it gets the information required out of the criminal. However, you can’t drive out hate with hate because that will just create more tension and if one the sides wins the battle it will just be temporarily because someone will always want revenge. We will never have a world that doesn’t use violence to solve world wide issues that affect us all. I say that because human history revolves around violence, you could even say that its our natural instinct to use violence to feel powerful and solve our issues. Winston is happier now that he doesn’t have to fight Big Brother because he no longer has to worry about getting caught or losing his life for betraying the party.
