Dictatorship - Malia Harper, Edward Phillips, Isabel Puente, Elizabeth…

- - - - Another disadvantage is that mass killings typically occur. Lots of innocent people are killed because people oppose the government views and therefore the government views them as enemies. Although it is not necessarily a mass killing, it has been reported that at least 21 journalists have been killed since Vladimir Putin became Russia's leader. Although there is no confirmed cause of each murder, it is evident that the freedom of speech does not truly exist in Russia, and speaking out against the government will cause violent actions.

        Another example of what goes wrong under this kind of rule is that the country becomes isolated. Cuba for example, lost many of its international relationships when Fidel Castro became the President. In fact, because of the loss, some countries had restricted any, if not all, economic sense with Cuba. From Castro's dictator actions, it resulted in the entire nation suffering. ER

- - - - Dictators are typically smart and very technical, so it is easy to use their personalities to strengthen national relations with other countries. For example, Kim Jong Un, the North Korean dictator and Donald Trump, the U.S. President, met on several occurrences to build the U.S.-North Korean relationship. EP&ER
        
        In a dictatorship, a leader can easily motivate and inspire their country to become sophisticated. Dictators use strategies like persuasion and propaganda to effectively convince people to think how like how they want them to think. A good example of this is how Hitler was able to inspire over 130,000 Germans during World War II. EP&ER
        
        Dictators don't appoint any random individuals into office but instead, have wisdom when it comes to running a country and choose other people whom they believe can help run a country effectively. They essentially have complete political country of a country and how it is run. MH & EP

- - - - They usually rule autocracies (which is a system of government by one person with absolute power), governments with a single self-appointed leader and no governing body to check his power. IP
      - Over the centuries of dictators, we can see that for the most part, dictators tend to stay in power for a very long time. They are deposed only to be replaced by another dictator. It takes a long time to change an entire governmental structure. IP
      - What is a benevolent dictator?
        
        When you think of a dictator usually you think of a bad person but not all of them are horrible and one of those kinds is a benevolent dictator. It is a person who applies his absolute power for the good of his citizens, instead of the good of himself or his friends and associates. IP

  - - - Saudi Arabia is infamously known for being under the rule of a dictatorship, which is further emphasized through the Unitary System they follow. Their leader, Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, rules solely by himself under his "one-man" rule. This allows him to spread propaganda everywhere in the country to gain citizens' approval through brainwashing. The citizens are faced with a ruthless leadership involving surveillance, harassment, and even kidnapping in certain cases. MH

        Iraq is under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein who was a ruthless ruler up until the Persian Gulf War and near the end of the Iraq war. The country follows a Federal System, but Hussein did not give power to the Regional Governments.He was finally executed after crimes against humanity for being responsible for the deaths of thousands of his people.
