democratically, there are still many countries under totalitarian regimes. Recently, the rise of democratic countries have brought forth many questions and contradictions in regards to what furthers a thriving democracy and what weakens it. While there are numerous interpretations of what makes a democracy successful, it is best described by Larry Diamond 's explanation of “thick” and “thin” in his book The Spirit of Democracy. “Thin” being a democracy based on free and fair elections, and…

If I was the creator of an ideal society in Lord of the Flies, I would choose to implement a totalitarian state, with a democratically elected dictator at the head. Before this dictator is elected, a constitution will be agreed upon by the members of the state, and the dictator must agree to follow these rules and regulations within the constitution when they are elected. A new dictator will be elected after 2 years, or when the previous dictator steps down. To enforce the rule of the dictator,…

Chomsky argues in Media Control: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda that the current United States democracy is built on the fact that the public must be barred from managing their own affairs and that the means of information (such as in the media) must be strictly controlled by the use of propaganda.

It is in a citizen’s own interest to participate in civic responsibilities such as paying taxes, voting, and serving as a juror in court. By not taking part in the…

There are several forms of government in the world. The Totalitarian form of government is one in which one person (a dictator) controls the citizens of a country in a coercive manner. There is no freedom and every aspect of life is controlled. It even controls the beliefs and values of the society and also interferes in the private life of individuals.
