Dictatorship

When looking at history, dictators and dictatorship have played a large role in controlling the desires of those they dominate, in such areas as religion and freedom of speech. An obvious example would be Adolph Hitler, who committed mass genocide on over 11 million “undesirables” such as Jews, the handicapped, and the gay, regardless of age or gender. Further, there were 50-70 million other lives taken in World War II, which Hitler started. Another brutal dictator was Saloth Sar, or as he was…

Bill Gates said "So, if we lie to our government, it’s a felony. But if they lie to us its politics." The government lying is very commonly shown throughout the novel 1984 written by George Orwell and it also happens quite commonly in our world today. After reading 1984 it really made me think about ho the government uses its power to control us, what we do and what we believe. As a result I have decided to focus my enquiry on the idea of are our democratic governments right and justified in…

Corruption, as defined by the Merriam Webster Dictionary, is “dishonest or illegal behavior especially by powerful people.” This dishonest or illegal behavior is usually categorized as an abuse of entrusted power for private gain.

This dishonest or illegal behavior begins to occur when rulers make anti-social actions that have a lack of respect for other people’s perspectives and their morals, therefore acting in their own…

Governments are the sole things that will make a country run smooth. When we put a society ruled by a monarchy and a society run by a dictatorship, we can clearly see the similarities and differences that define these two governments. In an absolute monarchy, the country is ruled by a family that will make all of the laws for the people, but in a dictatorship, there is only one singular person that decides the laws for the country. For both of these countries, this means that the people will…

their power to bring people’s attitude down. In a different fashion, dictators rules a whole country and change the citizens’ way of life. For example, Benito Mussolini was an Italian dictator from the 1900’s through the 1940’s. But before his dictatorship began, he created a group called Fasci di Combattimento, The Fascist Party. He was chosen by the Italy residents to make Italy a better country, but he also added some of his own policies (“20 Facts about Benito Mussolini”). Also, Mussolini…

What is a dystopian society? Well first you should know what a utopia is, a utopia is a society where everything is perfect and everyone is happy, nothing should be corrupt. A dystopia is the exact opposite, nothing is perfect and the government is corrupt. In a dystopian society, everyone living there oblivious to everything going on in front of their eyes. I wonder if we are all living in a dystopian society. One pretty well known dystopian society is Nazi Germany. That's the question you’ve…

A dictatorship is a government run by a ruler who has been able to balance nationalism, charm, and fear into one. The ruler will have created a state where the population has become a mix of people who praise their leader during the day but lay awake at night for fear of what their oppressor would do to them. Hitler was a powerful and spellbinding speaker who was able to attract a wide following of Germans desperate for change. He would promise the disenchanted a more suitable living. One where…

opposition. Although Napoleon contributed the success of the French Revolution, he eventually abandoned the democratic and performed his dictatorship.

Ruling collaboratively does not allow for corruption and dictatorship to infiltrate the government, for multiple opinions are at play. Having one ruler commonly, if not always, leads to unethical behaviors and thought processes, for only one person is in charge and may do or think freely. Their concern is not for…
