a. Military dictatorships came about by a group of people; normally after the sudden deposition of a government, usually by a small group of the existing establishment, typically the military, to depose the existing government and replace it with another body, civil or military. Military juntas have justified their rule as a way of bringing political stability for the nation or rescuing it from the threat of "dangerous ideologies". For example, in Latin America, the threat of communism was often used. Military regimes tend to portray themselves as non-partisan, as a "neutral" party that can provide interim leadership in times of turmoil, and also tend to portray civilian politicians as corrupt and ineffective 3.
The degradation of dialect reveals how it is almost entirely impossible to object to the Party’s core beliefs. Through the protagonist character of Winston Smith, the importance of individualism is advocated through critical thinking. Firstly, the text illustrates how language and power can be used as a mechanism of control by discouraging an individual from expressing their true emotion. The controlled language, Newspeak, was created by the totalitarian state as a tool of power, its sole purpose being to restrict the people’s understanding of the real world. The gradually declining dialect limits the ideas that individuals have the potential of formulating and expressing, promoting a narrowing of thoughts and awareness to their system of control.
Pressure groups can either insider or outsider groups. Insider groups have contact with government officials and policy makers, this allows them to influence policy easier as they do not have to take direct action. Whereas outsider groups have very little contact with the government and therefore take drastic action through strikes, marches and publicity stunts in order to gain media coverage and get the government to hear their concerns. The three main roles for pressure groups are participation, this is where pressure groups provide citizens with an avenue for participation between elections. Pressure groups also enhance representation by articulating the common concerns of a certain group of individuals, for example the National Farmers Union has 95% of farmers in the UK as members of their pressure group, this means that they are highly representative of their group of people and are able to voice their concerns to the current government.
In contrast, however, Sartwell’s article focuses primarily upon the civilian aspect of obedience, whereas Szegedy-Maszak focuses more upon the military aspect. Obedience to authority is commonplace in society. The question has arisen over time with horrible evens such as the Holocaust in Nazi Germany and the torturous methods at the Abu Ghraib Prison. This question is would someone compromise his personal beliefs or morals to obey an authority figure even if obeying would bring about physical harm to another person. Szegedy-Maszak makes the statement that the Abu Ghraib Prison was “an island where conventional morality no longer applied” (Szegedy-Maszak 212).
A totalitarian government is a political system in which state attempts to have total control of its citizens. It emphasizes on total control, brainwashing, and worshipping of the state and its leaders. This type of government tries to structure its society in accordance to its party values and beliefs. The freedom of the citizens disappear and the state controls communications and economics. In my country of Angst, it would have an ideology that it is the best society to live in
Another limitation referring to the source could be the media becoming very hostile. They could portray the Prime Minister as a very weak and unworthy character which could affect his personal image, but also the image of the party they lead. 2b) With reference to the source, and your own knowledge, explain the Prime Minister’s prerogative powers (10). The prerogative powers that the Prime Minister enjoys are the extensive arbitrary powers that they enjoy. These powers were first exercised by the monarch but they are now exercised by the prime minister.
*Evaluate the relationship that exists between the individual and the society*? The principles extrapolated by the notion of total conformity are derived from an aspiration to strip an individual’s freedom within a dystopian society paralleling the society set in ‘V for Vendetta’ and ‘1984’. Set in a futuristic dystopian world, both texts profoundly explores various ideologies such as speculating totalitariancontrol enforced by the government as well as the consequences on differing individuals. The effective communication of these ideas is based upon each composer’s use of techniques such as juxtaposition, bitter irony, descriptive speech and characters persona. Through this actions and ideas V’s
The Democratic-Republicans sought to limit federal control and preferred local power as the dominant force. Chiefly, the emergence of the American two-party system arose from strongly opposed political views, but also developed out of experience and a struggle for power. As previously stated, the main reason for the development of the party system in the United States, or any political party for that matter, is a difference in beliefs on how a government should be operated. The Federalists, formed by Alexander Hamilton – Washington’s Treasury Secretary – in 1794, favored federalism with government having the power to control commerce, tax, declare war, and make treaties among other powers.
Yet, another reason why we, as a nation, alter the Constitution in our own ways, still allowing each part as an indication of mandate. Moreover, that is not written in The Constitution is the fact that Washington appointed cabinet members to help him run the
The power amid the two often leans toward one side, being monopolized and abused. My notion on oppression is that the mentality of one is manipulated by the unbalance of power in this subjugation. In certain cases oppression is necessary to keep peace; like the government and the people. If the government fails to oppress the public with the power of law, chaos would rain
