Dictatorship Essay

The reasons for the rise of the Nazi Dictatorship of the 1930's and 40's have been a topic much
debated upon by historians for decades. Arguably the most prominent theory is the idea of a
"Sonderweg" or special path taken by Germany that "deviates from the normal path to modernity...
the British way, the first and therefore classical model." There is ample evidence of a "Sonderweg"
throughout Wilhelmine/Bismarckian Germany, from the lack of a real democracy in 1871 to attempts
to repress threats through policies such as Kulturkampf and the anti–Socialist laws. There is also
evidence in Weimar Germany, such as the structural weaknesses of the constitution, for example
proportional representation and Article 48. There is, however, evidence...show more content...
Another sign of a "Sonderweg" in Germany during Bismarck's reign was his attempts to repress
threats through force. "Bismarck always held that the best foundation for an alliance was to have a
common enemy." This was illustrated in his Kulturkampf policies in which he attempted to appeal to
the Protestant population in the German Empire which made up 61% of the populous by restricting
and persecuting the Catholic population. For example, in 1872, religious schools were forced to
undergo official inspections carried out by the government and religious teachers were banned from
government schools. Then in May 1873 when the May Laws were enacted, nearly half of all
seminaries in Prussia closed as a result. Bismarck's failed attempts to suppress the threat of the
socialists through use of the anti–Socialist laws was another sign of a special German path. The laws
did not ban the SPD directly but instead aimed to cripple it, so that it was no longer a threat, through
various means. Groups meeting who aimed to spread social democrat principles were banned and
trade unions were outlawed. Bismarck also introduced old age pensions, accident and unemployment
insurance and medical care in an attempt to win the support of the working class and keep them
content with the current regime. Despite these attempts to cripple the socialists, the party continued
to gain popular support.
During Bismarck's reign, there were attempts made by him to distract

Democracy to Dictatorship in Lord of the Flies
Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a novel that represents a microcosm of society in a tale
about children stranded on an island. Of the group of young boys there are two who want to lead
for the duration of their stay, Jack and Ralph. Through the opposing characters of Jack and Ralph,
Golding reveals the gradual process from democracy to dictatorship from Ralph's democratic
election to his lack of law enforcement to Jack's strict rule and his violent law enforcement.
Upon the arrival of the boys to the island Jack immediately found himself in the center of a power
struggle. Although the conflict was brief, there was still a very obvious confrontation between...show

Their punishment for slacking off was nothing, and so they got away with accomplishing nothing.
Jack saw this along with many other flaws in Ralph's democracy and continually tried to force his
style of governing over the boys.
Jack's view on how the group should be run didn't completely show through until he actually
became the leader later on in the novel, but there were hints before that as well. His tendency
towards strict leadership was evident ever since he and his choirboys were introduced as
characters. He kept them very much in line. "The group of cloaked boys began to scatter from close
line. The tall boy shouted at them. 'Choir stand still!' Wearily obedient, the choir huddled into line
and stood there swaying in the sun" (Golding page #). He allowed them little room to maneuver,
made them listen and follow orders without question.
Jack was a very power hungry young boy. Although he doesn't have any power at the beginning of
the novel, he took every opportunity to take the position of chief and was eventually successful.
Jack's dictatorial style of leadership contrasted very directly with the more democratic and passive
style of Ralph. Jack ruled with an iron fist, allowing no one to question him or his leadership. Jack
represented the wanting for a single, all–powerful leader to guide the followers of society using any
means he feels necessary.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Dictatorship
Lack of justice: Democracy is one where is there is interruption in justice. You can notice that in
kings, communal rules, the punishments are not only split but very fast after crime. But in
democracy, the punishment can be stated after all those involved in the case become old or even die.
DICTATORSHIP
It is a type of government in which the whole governing body is controlled by a single individual or
a single group of people.
Dictatorship is an illegal form of government in which power power is used to overcome the people.
It has been proved unfriendly.
It is a one–man show.

DEMERITS OF DICTATORSHIP:
1. Very Disposed To Collapse
The people tend to get tired of the dictator and their extreme rules very fast. For this reason, revolts
and complete collapse of these societies is very common and tends to happen very quickly.
2. Rights of the People are Delayed
Dictators want everyone to worship and obey them, and only them. For this reason, rights like free
speech are eliminated in a dictatorship. This domination only leads to violence, ignorance, and a lack
of invention from the country or region.
3. People Are Killed
Since there is no one to keep the order, people are killed for very small reasons. All throughout
history it has been shown that the rate of government enforced performances in a dictator ran
country is exponentially higher than in areas with different and more stable forms of government.
4. Dictators Stink
The biggest conflict with dictatorship is that people get power hungry very easily. Even the best of
aims can become selfishness and greed at the expense of the citizens of

Comparing Democracy And Authoritarian Governments
Comparing A Democracy and Authoritarian Governments
In the world today there are many types of governments. Such as a Democracy and an Authoritarian
government. Even though they are both governments, there are many differences between the two.
Like how they control their citizens and how their voting system is.
A very big difference between the two governments we are comparing is there voting system. In a
Democracy, citizens actually get a say in who is going to be their upcoming leader. Like in the
U.S., citizens have to be at least 18 years old to vote. But in an authoritarian government their
citizens have no say for whom their leader will be. The people who get to decide who the ruler will
be are, kings, military leaders, emperors, or

Dictatorship and Dictators Essay
A revolution has begun by the people in the Middle East against their long time dictators. The
domino effect began first with Tunisia then Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, and Libya. Thousands of
protestors were gathered on the streets with posters, shouting for change and democracy. Why would
there be protests unless the people are unsatisfied with the way the country is governed. Why would
they go against their dictator unless they feel they have no rights and that they have no voice.
Unlimited power should never be given to one person; the chances of corruption are very high
because power can change even the most virtuous individual. That is why the path of a dictatorial
country is a path of strife, oppression and economical downfall....show more content...
Freedom is a blessing that occurs in a slow but steady development if it's protected by ethics and
morals.
How can one become a dictator? There are certain ways of accomplishing that but first I want to
point out that dictators can be monarchs, presidents, prime ministers or chancellors. They're only
called that name by the way they wield their power. Every dictator is different and each one does
things differently but they have a few things in common. First, they don't acquire power through
free constitutional elections. Second, they often take over during coups, times of emergency or
revolutions. I was reading an article by Ms. Myriam Ehrlich Williamson stated that if "she wanted
to become the United States' first dictator, [she would]: sow contempt for and distrust of
government, while pretending a passionate belief in democracy. [She'd] go on television look the
American people straight in the camera lens, and lie about those who disagreed with [her], and
about [her] own intentions". She also had a list of other things she would do. It shocked me how
easy it is to get into a place of power; all you have to do is tell the people what they want to hear.
What are the powers of a dictator? Well for starters they're endless; a dictator can do about
anything he wants in his country and with his people. A dictator also has control of the military so
if he wants someone to disappear, be imprisoned or tortured he just has to give an order. This

Dictatorship In George Orwell's Novel '1984'
George Orwell's novel "1984"is based on the dictatorship of the government called INGSOC. The
novel takes place in 1984 where it starts off with Winston starting to think about rebelling against
INSOC. The problem is that everyone has been taught to love "Big Brother", the dictator of
INGSOC, for a long period of time, so no one really has the idea of overthrowing the Party. But
eventually he finds Julia a young woman that somewhat has the same idea as his. They both want
to gain freedom from the Party but end up getting caught by O'Brien , an undercover agent for
INGSOC, and get brutally tortured for what they have tried. In the process of being tortured,
O'Brien forces the idea that the power of the Party is vigorous for society into Winston and Julia,
slowly brainwashing them and ending with Winston's deep fondness for Big Brother. Since

"There was ... no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment,"
meaning that the people didn't have the freedom of their own privacy. So since INGSOC has

YOU," is repeated as well as, "WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS
STRENGTH," both being being great motifs part of the story as well as showing how
manipulating INGSOC is by controlling what they do and what the people should believe. By doing

Taking a Look at Dictatorships
There are many forms of governments in the world, which play an important part in people's life.
A form of government determines how the country will be run and it makes a good or a bad
impact on social, political, and economic matters in a country. Some main forms of governments
are democracy, where the power of the government is given by its people, and the leaders are
chosen either directly or through elected representatives to govern the people; communism, where
everything is owned by the government and shared equally; a monarchy, where there is a king or
queen who inherits his or her power and rules the country; a dictatorship, where one person or a
small group of people rule a country with absolute power without the consent of those who are
being ruled. Among these forms of government dictatorship has the worst reputation than other
forms of governments. People do not like a form of government that practices dictatorship because
it has awful characteristics and people often have to suffer from social, political, and economic
oppressions. In a form of dictatorship, human and civil rights are not usually recognized or
protected. Elections may be held, but they will be unfair or abolish the results and citizens cannot
choose their own leaders. Citizens cannot influence or comment on the decisions of the leaders.
Equality or the importance of the individual citizen is rare and right to private property is often
restricted or abolished. Censorship of the media is

Julius Caesar has always been an important, well–known figure in history. His name still lives on,
two thousand years after his death. Even the terms "Kaiser" and "Tsar" are renditions of "Caesar."
To this day, the name "Caesar" conjures images of ancient Rome, conspiracies, intrigue, and
murder. Thanks to William Shakespeare, most people know that he was betrayed and killed by
his friends. But what made Caesar so fascinating that Shakespeare would choose to write about
Caesar over fifteen hundred years after his death? Why do we remember Caesar? He was a great
military leader, and a master politician. He was murdered. But there have been others in history like
Caesar, yet we do not remember their names. We remember...show more content...
Just as young Caesar was reaching adulthood, the time when his father would have been more
active in the young man's life, the elder Caesar died, probably during military service, leaving the
sixteen year old Caesar as the head of the household.
Just as the young Caesar had come of age, a revolution had taken place. A Roman general named
Lucius Sulla had plotted, and succeeded, in taking over Rome. After he had successfully taken over
Rome, Sulla then marched off to attack Mithridates of Pontus in Asia Minor. But while Sulla was
fighting Mithridates, a consul by the name of Cornelius Cinna had taken control of Rome. One of
the first things that Cinna did was to appoint the young Julius Caesar as flamen dialis, the high priest
of Jupiter. Even though this was one of the highest priesthoods in Rome, it was extremely
restrictive. A lifetime commitment, the flamen dialis could never could never see a corpse, nor ride
a horse. This would effectively exclude the young Caesar from ever becoming involved in war or
politics. But the return of Sulla saved Caesar.
After compromising with Mithridates, Sulla returned to Rome. He promptly defeated Cinna, and
began to systematically destroy all who opposed him. Sulla had become the sole dictator of Rome.
He was careful to stock all government positions with his supporters. He promptly cancelled most of
Cinna's appointments, including that of Julius Caesar's of flamen

North Korea Dictatorship
"Why is North Korea under a dictatorship?" this question is known for surrounding countries as well
as countries not even near it. In 1946, when the civil war ended, is when the dictatorship began. Just
like other dictatorships the dictatorship in North Korea is held together by a mixture of force and
propaganda aimed at brainwashing the public. North Korea's Communist dictatorship uses both
brainwashing and force to control the population of the country. (viralnova)
The founder of North Korea, first president Kim IL Sung, created the country's policy of Juche or

DPRK was liberated from Japanese colonial rule by the Soviet Union at the end of World War II.
When Kim IL Sung, born April 15, 1912, returned to North Korea from the Soviet Union, where he
and his guerrillas had been based since 1941 – 1945, the Soviet occupation forces in the northern
part of the country presented him to the North Korean people as a hero. In mid–1990's, Kim IL Sung
was general secretary of North Korea's ruling party and president of the state. North Korea is a
classic example of the "rule of man." Which essentially means controlling everyone under one rule.
Overall, radical management is highly personalized and is based on loyalty to Kim IL Sung and the
Korean Workers' Party. The out of the ordinary personality and the strong influence of former
anti–Japanese partisan veterans and military leaders are unique features of North Korean politics.

power" – George Orwell
Throughout the course of history, power has poisoned man's mind. We have seen this in many
people; Robert Mugabe, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin etc... All these men were heroes of their nation
during their respective revolutions, but as their lives progressed they became hated by the people
they fought for. They had become drunk in their power. Their corruptness knew no bounds. We see
a similar story of this in the book; 'Animal Farm', by George Orwell.
In the beginning of the book, all the animals are slaves of the cruel farmer Mr...show more content...
In Animal Farm, we see that Napoleon and the other pigs start living in the Farmhouse and start
to go against their own laws, eg. "It was at about this time that the pigs suddenly moved into the
farmhouse and took up their residence there." (pg.65 Animal Farm.) They enjoy luxuries while
the other animals sleep on haystacks in stalls. Soon, when the animals start doubting them, they
change the laws at night so that they are better suited to the pigs. "But a few days later, Muriel,
reading over the Seven Commandments to herself, noticed that there was another of them that
the animals had remembered wrong... The Commandment 'No animal shall drink alcohol' had
two words added to it that the animals forgot. Actually the Commandment read, 'No animal shall
drink alcohol to excess."(pg.95 Animal Farm). Stalin abused his power on numerous occasions.
All the people of the U.S.S.R were supposed to be equal, but Stalin started living in the Kremlin
and enjoying all the fruits of other people's labour. Stalin was also feared by the people. He would
execute people who were excelling because he only thought of them as a threat to his throne. He
would also execute those who did not perform well, eg; a general who lost a battle. He also had a
secret police, (KGB), who instilled fear in every person's heart, because they never knew who
was listening. If a person spoke ill of Stalin, it was noticed that they would disappear a few days
later. We also see this in Animal Farm, eg. When Napoleon uses the dogs to; chase Snowball off
the farm, execute 'traitors' and threaten all the other animals. Fear is the most common way of
ruling in a dictatorship. Benito Mussolini, is one of the most famous fascist dictators of all time.

Dictatorship In The United States
Dictatorship is when a country, government, or the form of government in which absolute power
is exercised by a dictator. With that being said, the U.S could be described as a dictatorship in
many ways. One of the biggest reasons is that we the people have to pay taxes. We don't have a
choice. We are paying the government money in which they didn't earn. They did no work for the
money they are taking away from the people. If you don't pay taxes you get arrested and get
sentenced or you have to pay the money back. Also, they could take away your home, your life
savings, and you could be fined. Also, every child that is at the age of six has to attend some form
of school. There is no way around it. If you aren't enrolled into a school, whether

Pros And Cons Of A Benevolent Dictatorship
Some people argue that a benevolent dictatorship is the best form of government as compared to an
in efficient democracy while others think that even an inefficient democracy is far better than
dictatorship. Speed and easy decision making are the key reasons why people believe that
dictatorship can do better. It is argued that for the fast growth of a nation it is important to centralize
the power so that effective decision can be taken without too many obstacles. Since in dictatorship
the power lies with one person, he or she can take decision quickly and efficiently in the interest of a
nation. On the other hand, some people think that even inefficient democracy is the best form of
government and the argument in favor of dictatorship can...show more content...
This assumption seems a bit utopian which is next to impossible in reality. In other words, if we
think about good dictatorship then we are imagining a super human because a good dictator is
supposed to do all things. Also, one should be honest, pure heart, intelligent, perfect, non–corrupt and
capable of understanding every person's view and need of the different communities which is
unrealistic in real life. . There is no guarantee that decisions will be unbiased and fair.
To conclude, there are strong reasons why even an efficient democracy can do better in the long run
comparing to a benevolent dictatorship. Democracy should not be seen merely as a form of
government. It is way which enables people to participate and think actively for their good. It is an
idea which encourages people to choose the way they want to

Essay On Dictatorship In North Korea
Dictatorship in North Korea By: Paige Jestadt

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be governed by a dictatorship? What laws do the
citizens of a dictatorship have to follow? Who is the dictator, and what is he/she's responsibilities?
Where else in the world is dictatorship being practiced? A dictatorship is a government ruled by a
dictator that grants citizens limited rights and is practiced by many countries. Today,North Korea is
the most widely–discussed county that is governed by a dictatorship.

The first thing one should know about dictatorship is what laws the citizens have to follow. For
example, in North Korea, citizens are not allowed to leave their country without the regime's
permission. (The People's Challenges – Liberty in North Korea) Should North Koreans leave their
country without permission, they are subject to many harsh punishments, which can include death.

Hitler's Becoming a Dictator Essay
Hitler's Becoming a Dictator There are many factors that allowed Hitler to seize power in 1934.
One reason was the Munich Putsch, which put Hitler in jail and allowed him to write "Mein Kampf"
and the 25–point programme, which helped him to win votes. Another reason was the Wall Street
crash, which caused another depression in Germany, which made people vote for the Nazi party.
Another reason Hitler was able to come into power was the Reichstag fire, which the Nazis blamed
on a communist and this affected the 1933 Election in their favour. The fire also allowed Hitler to
pass the "Enabling act", which basically meant that no one could oppose him and Germany had to do
what he said without question....show more content...
The Putsch helped Hitler eventually come to power in a number of ways. Firstly the trial received
massive media attention, as this sort of thing was rare in 1923. This meant that the Nazi party were
brought to the attention of Germany, as they were virtually unknown at this point. Also during the
trial the judge allowed Hitler to speak his mind. This meant that the Nazi party got to have their
beliefs broadcasted to the whole of Germany for free. Thirdly Hitler's time in prison gave him time
to dictate "Mein Kampf", which eventually convinced many people to vote for the Nazi party. He
also wrote the 25–point programme, which was the view of the Nazi party, which were designed to
appeal to the vast majority of the German people. He appealed to the church as Hitler promised to
get rid of communism and the church hated communists, as they are atheists. He appealed to the
aristocrats, as they also feared communism. Hitler also promised re–armament, which was what they
wanted. The 25–point programme also appealed to the middle class who wanted law and order –
Hitler promised to give them this. They also feared communism. Lastly Hitler appealed to the
working class, as there was a mass unemployment in Germany, Hitler promised to end this and
provide jobs. The next reason that Hitler was able to come into power was the Wall Street crash. This

Positive And Negative Effects Of Dictatorships
I have always found the human need for power and domination interesting, which is why I choose it
for the Research Project. I am interested about how the Dictatorial style of government affects the
overall growth of the humanities globally. My goal for this project is to research and understand the
positive and negative effects of dictatorships on the academic growth as well as growth in the
humanities. There are clear negative effects like the loss of literature in countries such as Germany,
where specific types of book from certain eras were burned. In addition to that there are positives
such as leaders focusing on education more than other areas of government spending. The paper that
would be written using the information gathered through research on this topic would be persuasive,
arguing that though there are some positive effects, dictatorships have an overall negative impact on
intellect and the humanities.
My working research question is: Are the net effects of dictatorships on the areas of the
humanities including art and literature as well as academics as a whole positive or negative? My
corresponding thesis statement is: On the grounds of global loss of art and literature as well as
suffering academics, dictatorships have a negative effect on the country they govern as well as the
world as a whole. I will research historical occurrences of dictatorships globally. In addition to that I
will research the effects on academics in specific countries. I will also

Essay on The Dictators
The twentieth century, unlike any other before it, saw dramatic changes in many different areas
such as science, technology, politics, religion, and society. One of the most important and definitely
the most obvious change is the increasing deadliness of war. Granted, people have died in wars from
the very beginning, but in the twentieth century wars began to generate much higher body counts
both among the contending armies and among civilian populations, the latter being the most drastic
change in number of casualties. Similarly, in the twentieth century, two opposing dictatorships arose.
Although both had many similarities, they represented the culmination of two different political
ideologies that had flourished in Europe since the...show more content...
Richard Overy's stunningly detailed and well–crafted study of this dichotomy, The Dictators,
illuminates it for even the uninitiated in the world of European or Global History. One particular
aspect that clearly illustrates both the similarities and the differences is the ideological goals of
each regime. Despite the fact that they were on two opposite sides of the political spectrum, the
similarities between the two show that they may not have been as opposite has they appear. One
of the goals was the creation of a utopian society. "The social vision at the heart of both
dictatorships was utopian in a very literal sense. Like the construction of Thomas More's ideal city,
both pursued the perfect society by compelling their subjects to struggle against the imperfect
present" (Overy 229). The precise type of utopian society, however, was a major point of distinction.
Hitler sought to form a nationalist Germany in which everything, from the economy to the church,
was subordinate to the needs of the state. "'The state must act,' wrote Hitler, 'as a guardian of a
millennial future in the face of which the wishes and selfishness of the individual must appear as
nothing and submit'" (Overy 229). Stalin, on the other hand, sought to follow the ideals of Marx and
form the ideal Marxist–Leninist state. "The socialist project under Stalin was built on the idea of
struggle against the surviving elements of class selfishness and the eventual triumph of a

The Monarchy And A Dictatorship Essay
Constitutional Beginnings Assignment
Constitutional Beginnings:
Describe some of the purposes of "government".
The government has multiple purposes. Some purposes of the government are to protect the Unites
States from outside attacks, such as terrorists, and from itself, provide citizens with civil rights,
promote general welfare and establish justice.
What are some of the differences between a monarchy and a dictatorship?
A monarchy and a dictatorship are forms of government that are similar but also extremely
different. Some of the differences between a monarchy and a dictatorship are how the person
comes into rule. In a monarchy, there are no elections to see who becomes the next ruler, the
crown gets passed down to the next generation in the royal family when the original monarch dies.
A dictatorship is ruled by a person who usurped power and stayed that way by altering the rules,
they are very powerful and get to where they are by brute force.
Compare/contrast a direct democracy with an indirect democracy.
A direct democracy is a form of democracy where all people decide directly on policy initiatives. An
indirect democracy is "a form of governance in which the citizens rule through representatives, who
are periodically elected in order to keep them accountable." (pg.48) This shows that there are
differences in terms of population representation. Direct democracy and indirect democracy both
recognize the people as the supreme authority.

Joseph Stalin was a former general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist party of
the Soviet Union. Stalin was the dictator of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics from 1929 to
1953. His Red Army helped defeat Nazi Germany during WWII. On December 18th, 1879, in the
Russian peasant village of Gori, Georgia, Joseph Stalin was born. His full birthname was Josef
Vissarionovich Djugashvili. He died on March 5th, 1953 in Kuntsevo Dacha. Joseph was buried
in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis, Moscow. He was the son on Besarion Jughashvili, a cobbler
who beat his son, and Ketevan Geladze, a laundry woman. Stalin was a frail child. At age 7, he
caught smallpox, which left his face scarred. A couple years later he was in a carriage accident
which left his arm slightly deformed. Some state that his arm trouble was a result of blood
poisoning from his injury. Joseph was bullied by other children in his village, which set his
foundation for greatness and respect. While in school, Stalin came in contact with Messame
Dassy, a secret organization the supported Georgian independence from Russia. Some of the
members were socialists and those people introduced him into the writings of Karl Marx and
Vladimir Lenin. Stalin joined the group in 1898. He became involved in revolutionary politics as
well as criminal activities as a young man. In 1902, he was arrested for coordinating a labor strike
and exiled to Siberia. That was the first of his many arrests and exiles in the

Does the Uk Have вЂ Elective DictatorshipвЂ™?
Elective Dictatorship is the term used to describe the government and the Prime minister to be
seen as having powers over the country that seem excessive. A government appointing as an
elected dictatorship is likely to have a large majority over all other parties in the House of
Commons. This essay will analise the arguments for and against the UK having an elected
dictatorship. It will conclude that a proper dictatorship is never possible because the UK's
constitution is a democratic one and there are counter balances to accessive Prime ministerial
powers. However when a government has a very large majority it can use its control over the House
of Commons to make decisions that can seem to some as being dictatorial.
Firstly, it can be...show more content...
The Scrutiny of executives by the Parliament would not let political parties to abuse its power as
Select Committees question the Prime Minister publicly. A confidence vote, meaning a motion of
no confidence, is a vote on whether a group of people still has confidence in a government or

government, managerial, etc, is no longer deemed fit to hold that position. Votes of no confidence
would not let the leader of a political power to hold this post is the Prime Minister is found to be
dictatorial. Other members of Executive, for example cabinet discussions, scrutinise the Prime
Minister
Furthermore, sometime backbenchers rebel to vote for a political party's ideologies even though they
were forced to do it. For example, at the Tuition Fee vote, backbenchers revolted over tuition fees
hike which then caused a lot of problems for Liberal Democratic Party.
The Judicial review of laws passed could prevent a bill being passed if it is thought to be against the
legislature of the United Kingdom. For example a trade union taking Government to court over trade
union laws.
