The party strictly controls matters of love, sex, reproduction and family dynamics. People are placed to gather as couples. These couples are matched according to the greatest amount of apathy and disinterest they have for each other. Children are strictly controlled by the party and trained to spy on their own parents. This creates a constant threat of fear and antagonism in the household. A perfect example of this is the Parsons family. Both boy and girl are basically brought up by the party. At home they become fierce extensions of party ideology, watching and threatening their parents at every moment.
