Totalitarian democracy

During the 1950s, World War II and the Cold War, wars that concerned liberal democracy and totalitarianism, transpired. This novel is an allegory that examines these two opposing political ideologies. Liberal democracy, a democracy based on the recognition of individual rights and freedoms (governmentvs.com), is symbolized by Ralph, a predominantly equitable and ethical character. Totalitarianism, a system of government in which the people have virtually no authority and the state wields absolute control (boundless.com), is symbolized by Jack, a brutish and controlling character. Through the actions of Ralph…

Magstadt totalitarian is a political system in which every facet of the society, the economy, and the government is tightly controlled by the ruling elite. Authoritarianism is a system in which all legitimate power rest in one person called a dictator or small group known as oligarchy (Magstadt pg 90& 120). Totalitarianism and Authoritarianism are both like the dictatorship form of governance, but there are great differences between them, namely: who control the political power, the relationship…

Authoritarian government is very different than a Democracy for many reasons, but I will describe two. The democracy has an election to tell who is the leader and in an authoritarian they are forced into it. Also, the authoritarian government has unlimited power over their people and democracy has a certain amount of power they can have. These are just a couple of ways they are different. A democracy lets the people vote for who they want as a leader (President) and authoritarian is forced to…

These are not the qualities I see in a good leader. I think good leaders are personable, kind, trustworthy, selfless, and reliable. If…

To continue, Golding presents a democracy through Ralph by how he was elected as chief, his way of ruling and his priorities.

Ralph was merely picked because of his charisma, and his leadership qualities, similarly to real life democratic…
