After reading these excerpts, I have gained a better understanding of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes and a basic comprehension of the innerworkings as it pertains to many part of the world and cultures. Specifically, we focused on how it relates to Mussolini, Hitler, and Khomeini. A totalitarian regime, compared to an authoritarian, has one leader or board that leads the country while an authoritarian regime is comparable besides the intensity of the oversite. The legitimacy for both…

It is prudent to analyze in-depth this basis for the moral and political philosophy of the great thinkers. The assumptions must make sense if the overall theory of thought built upon this…

Not only is this approach extremely problematic because it completely diminishes he idea of any meritocracy…
