    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.

    Just because he has authority doesn’t mean he should be a dictator, he should let people feel free to oppose him and say what they want. This is similar to Santiago’s example because he wasn’t given permission to leave the camp even though he requested to leave many times. Also, it is similar because he was tortured by giving him a ‘Code Red’ in order to improve his performance which was something he wasn’t capable of. This also happens in our region, as the government imprisons people who oppose them and their orders. Moreover, many villains which killed people in the revolution are either still free or the verdict isn’t out yet.…
