Observed on April 12, Hate Week is a concept from George Orwell’s 1984 that explores how societies manipulate public sentiment. In this Civic and Educational context, participants in the United States analyze propaganda techniques, fear-mongering, and biased messaging. Readers study how leaders exploit emotions to influence behavior and maintain control. Workshops, readings, and discussions encourage critical thinking and reflection. The observance transforms Orwell’s fictional dystopia into a practical lesson on civic responsibility, social awareness, and the importance of questioning information critically.
