What are some good research paper topics for totalitarianism?

I have to write a paper for english about totalitarianism. It has to be five pages and has to have a thesis statement. Does anyone know any good topics that I can use that will be five pages about totalitarianism?





Thanks in advanced.

I'd stay away from the obvious Hitler and Stalin. I'm sure your teacher will have MORE than enough of them. How about looking into Pol Pot and the Killing Fields of Cambodia? You can then talk about the results of a totalitarian regime.


Good luck.
Reply:I know that the book "1984" by George Orwell deals with totalitarianism. It's a great book. You might want to use that as an example. (You could always look on sparknotes.com if you don't want to read the whole thing or don't have time.)





Also, if you don't have a specific prompt, a fun thing to do sometimes is to argue FOR totalitarianism instead of against. :) Makes for a paper that stands out from the others, and if you support your ideas well, you'll get a good grade for it too.
