2. What I learned/was interested


I am convinced of the dangers of totalitarianism.Totalization governs and regulates the whole.They control the mass media and education, brainwashing the people, and stressing that the nation's decision is for the sake of the people.Later, it becomes an ideology.Also, if someone oppose these countries opinion, they are branded as traitors.


3. What I want to discuss with you


This is an additional comment on the point of 2.
For example, Nazism.
Hitler in Germany created a totalitarian state.
He controlled the press and conducted a biased education to control the minds of the public.
In his constant education, the Germans were mentally controlled by Hitler.
ex)Jewish exclusion, World War II
