Dictatorship is defined as a country, government,
or the form of government in which absolute
power is exercised by a dictator.
A dictator is a person with absolute power, a ruler
who has absolute, unrestricted control in a
government without succession.
When a country is ran by a dictator it is almost always
a dictatorship. That is how someone can recognize
it.
There are still more then forty countries that use
dictatorship for example Pakistan, China, North
Korea, Cuba, Chile, and Iraq. These are just some
of the countries that still use dictatorship.
What are good things about dictatorship?
Good things about dictatorship are that most
things are always in place. There are rarely people
breaking the laws.
What are the bad things about dictatorships?
Bad things about dictatorship are that dictators use
fear and force to keep himself in authority. A
dictator can effectively make laws on his own.
The people under a dictatorship must follow the
laws or are severely punished, most punishments
end in death.
No dictatorship does not promote a particular
culture. Dictatorship is a form of government, or
leadership.
People were scared of the consequences that
would be taken against them for not following the
laws. In Chile alone there were more then 1,130
secret detention and torture centers. Life was hard
and unfair.
People were used as slaves. They were beaten and
put under difficult tasks and forced into small
crammed areas. When people worked it was not
for money it was for their lives. People were given
scarce amounts of food.
People under a form of dictatorship, were scared and
usually unfriendly. They obeyed all laws under fear
that they would be killed or beaten. Dictatorships
were almost always parts of militaries.
A country ruled by a dictator has never been a
democracy. Countries ruled by a dictator is called
dictatorship. Most dictators gain political power by
winning an election and cancelling future elections
once they have won. Its not always clear whether
a leader is a dictator or not. Kings and emperors
use force and fear to but usually are not
considered dictators. Military dictatorship is a form
of government.
In conclusion dictatorship can be either good or
bad it just depends on the person or people, and
or the place.
I didn’t really understand what dictatorship was
until I did the research I thought it was going to be
something Mr. Stewart was going teach us.
I now have a more clear understanding on
what it is, a powerful leader.
