    What is totalitarianism? Totalitarianism is a form of government in which the government completely reminisced one’s individuality and freedom. In Aldous Huxley’s novel, “Brave New World,” totalitarianism is perfectly demonstrated in which humans are scientifically made and have no control over their desired purpose on earth.

    Nazi Germany and 1984

    A totalitarian government is one in which the state, usually under the control of a single political person, has no limits to its authority and strives to control every aspect of public and private life of each individual. Control over attitudes, values, and beliefs enables the government to erase any distinction between state and society. It is almost as if the population under totalitarian government is broken down and brain washed so much so that the government has complete and total control over each individual which is all part of an elaborate scheme to replace the existing society with a perfect society. As we see in George Orwell’s 1984 the citizens are under a complete totalitarian government that restricts individual thoughts and controls physical and psychological aspects but also restricts the information they receive and technology they use. Although the government in 1984 is fiction, many political leaders have tried to create a perfect nation by rule of totalitarian governments. Hitler’s Nazi Germany was one that can be compared to the views of the 1984 “Big Brother” government.…
