There are three types of governments that focus on taking complete control over people’s livelihood and freedom; the three governments are totalitarianism, fascism, and socialism. The main topic of this assignment is not fascism or socialism, it is totalitarianism. A totalitarian society is ruled by a dictator that takes control over everyone’s way of living.

This way of living is still seen in some of today’s countries. Places like North Korean still has a dictator that controls what the people eat, what they are exposed to in the media, who enters their country and only what he wants them to see. Kim Jon-un controls who leaves and who stays, which no one leaves but only specific people from other countries can enter. He does this by filling them up with fear, he also sees disobedience as a negative thing. It practically seems like he feels like he’s being underestimated as though they do not feel like he is “all
