One of the many new depressing words that had to be invented in the twentieth century was 'totalitarianism'. One of the key themes of this unit is to try and measure the extent to which this concept was achieved by the new kind of dictatorial leaders who emerged in the twentieth century. In order to make such a judgment we need to answer this question:
"What exactly do we mean by totalitarianism?'
Through the exploration of this question we can set criteria against which we can judge the changes introduced by Hitler, Castro and Mao later in the course. Use the Note Taking Frame above to record your learning.

1. Post- it Panic: Write a 'first thought' definition of totalitarianism on your post it an stick on the board. Give examples if you have time.

2. As a class, watch the short clip on Stalin opposite. Do you want to add anything to your first thoughts?





​3. Look
 
through the cartoons in the slide show below. Through discussion, write up a list of the key features of 'totalitarianism'.
​




4. Ask an Expert.
 Look at Source B in the document opposite by eminent scholars Friedrich and Brzezinski. Add brief notes and clarity, using bullet points and headings only.
