1) -No religion -Keep Military/ Armed Forces -Keep Government Agencies -Control Newspapers -Control Movie/TV/Radio Industry -Control Oil and Gas Companies -Control Clothing Manufacturers -Control Industrial Factories -Control Music Industry -Control Hospitals and Doctors

2/3) -Religion would need to be seized and eliminated as it serves as a purpose for divisions in opinions, and lifestyles. Ridding our country of religion would end the conflicts these divisions in our people and create a population with a greater sense of equality who are less driven to fight with themselves.

-Military/Armed Forces would remain in our nation to not only keep peace among our own people, but among our neighbors as well. Also, when all children reach the age of sixteen, they will be subject to a mandatory five years of service within the army to build character and morals.

-Government intelligence agencies would still exist in our nation to root out foreign and domestic enemies.

-Newspapers need to be restricted and approved by the government to prevent treasonous works.

-Movie/TV/Radio need to be kept appropriate to our nation's standards and as well to prevent treasonous works.

-Controlling Oil and Gas Companies would help control mobility and production.

-Controlling Clothing Manufacturers would make them only produce one type of clothing, so everyone looks the same and therefore equal.

-All people would serve as workers in industrial factories so all people are making the same amount of money to eliminate class differences.

-Music Industry needs to have everything approved by the government to prevent treasonous works.

-Only minor injuries and illnesses would be treated by the doctors and hospitals, all serious issues go untreated to save money.

4) a. Yes, a totalitarian government is just as likely existing in the United States as it is anywhere else. There has been no government in history that has lived forever, all governments are doomed to crumble sometime. So when the United States' government eventually does collapse like all governments eventually do, it is very possible a totalitarian state could replace it.

b. No, a peaceful society is not superior to a free one. Even though life may definitely be more secure in a totalitarian society, it is not worth trading freedom for a safer life. In totalitarian societies, one has to live strictly to society's rules, being who you'd like to be or doing what you want to do is against the law. This type of environment is just as unhealthy for the mind as is a free society with security risks to the body.

c. In a totalitarian, fascist society, the leader is the nation itself. When Nazi soldiers joined the German Army in World War II, they oath they agreed to when entering swore directly to Hitler. The leader has total power over his or her nation and its affairs.
