    If the dictator wants it it happens for the good or the bad. Now I feel this leads to a grate amount of stability in that if the dictator wants it it goes this way the people don't have to worry about the more shadier side of the politics. A dictatorship leads to low crime rate this is because historically the laws passed be the dictator are quite harsh such as work camps for life or just death I think this leads to a lower crime rate because the people are to scared of the harsh punishment to do anything that is agenst the dictator or the laws the pass. The last pro of a dictatorship is efficiency in dictatorship a lot gets done for the good or bad because one person controls the whole government there is nothing that stops them from passing whatever they want this leads to efficiency because no one can stop or argue with them to pass laws.

    Other than through the eyes of the dictators, there is no way to positively look at totalitarian governments. When the government has total power over both a state and the individuals within it, basic personal freedoms such as privacy, security, and individuality are thrown out the window. Totalitarian dictators such as Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini not only corrupted Russia, Germany, and Italy, respectively, but killed millions upon millions of people in the process. The scary part about history is that it often repeats itself, and with the upcoming presidential election, there is a possibility of such an occurrence. Many people are aware of Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again!”…

    Dictatorship is defined as form of government in which one person or a small group possesses absolute power without effective constitutional limitations. While the United States is known as a democracy and was founded on the beliefs of a democracy, in recent years many people have begun to compare America's government to that of a dictatorship. The use of executive orders is one way that this can be explained. An executive order is a rule or order issued by the president to an executive branch of the government and having the force of law.

Although, what is widely considered to be the best form of government is democracy, it allows citizens to have a variety of rights and freedoms while putting constraints on the government’s power.

    When looking at democracy and absolutism, I realized that democracy is overall better for the greater good by giving the commoner more simple liberties. This is historically one of the soundest government tactics because it encompasses more than one view because people are allowed and are granted a say in politics.

The leader of an absolute controlled government would find themselves fear mongering by using executions and propaganda to further their…

    Just as humans, dictators are not born evil but are influenced enough to gain power and abuse it. If one has the power to control all, then they could use it to their own advantage. Stories such as Macbeth by William Shakespeare and Animal Farm by George Orwell illustrate how such characters like Macbeth and Napoleon rise to power to use it for themselves as similarity to dictators like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini. By doing this, dictators blind the eyes of the people by stealing their freedoms through manipulation to gain innate superiority.…

    The article declares that among the countries that are in some transitional phase between dictatorship and democracy “fifty percent do better on political liberties than on civil ones” (Zakaria). The author Fareed Zakaria called these countries illiberal democracies. According to him this form of democracy is typical for non-Western countries which embraced it from France (the French model). Although these countries are democracies, according to their official form of government, but in practice the leaders of these countries abuse the power and the citizens have many of their rights limited or violated. All the power is usually concentrated in the hands of one and the same person.…
