= W.O.F.U.L.: Without Freedoms U Love = by: Brianna, Chelsea, Marc, and Josh
 * Military/armed forces** should be one of the ten to be seized first because it enables our society to physically control the population, enforce laws we deem necessary, and instill a martial law if needed.


 * Food Distributors** should be taken because it makes it possible for us to control production with the option to stop it at the source. Also enables us to be able to threaten the availability of food and control who gets food and who does not.


 * Water supply** should be another of the ten seized because we can control its production that gives us the ability to decide who survives. We can threaten its availability to make citizens comply with whatever we decide.


 * Power companies** should be taken over because electricity has become a staple of modern society, people are unable to live without it. We control that, we control the people.


 * Movie / TV / radio industry** should be seized because it controls propaganda that can make the public think a certain way and it controls the minds of viewers.


 * Technology (internet, cell phones, etc.**) are important in today's society and taking control of internet control, web based news, and any communication through the internet would create chaos. Without outside communication, the people would not know what was happening throughout the rest of the world and cut ties with everyone.


 * Oil/gas companies** are important as well because there would be no way of transportation or the basic comforts we have become accustomed to like heat, electricity, and air conditioning.


 * Telephone industries (cellular phones included)** can be cut off, thoroughly end communication with people outside the walking distance.


 * Banking industries** control the money we have and the economy that controls our lives.


 * Hospitals** control who lives and dies due to health problems or injuries that are always possible.

As a group we decided that we would stand a fighting chance until our back are up against the wall, when we would realize we has no other choice if this regime was strong enough, where at that point we would have to regroup and rethink our stance on this government rule.
 * Could a totalitarian society ever exist in the United States? Why or why not?**

No because in a society free of crime, poverty, and national security threats the quality of life would be much less and in extreme poverty wherever you looked with the exception of a few wealthy families.
 * Is a totalitarian society free of crime, poverty and national security threats better than a free society plagued with crime, poverty and threats of attack? Explain reasons.**

It needs a leader or figurehead because it needs a common leader to be the idealist in the situation to keep the stories straight and make it possible for its followers to relate to them.
 * How important is the leader or figurehead of a totalitarian rule? Can a totalitarian government exist without one?**
