Authoritarianism
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. authoritarianism is not but a passing tendency; rather, it influences a good portion of the population in differing capacities. No matter the level of authoritarianism, it is typically associated with undesirable personality syndrome in whatever measure it exists. The authoritarian personality is typically associated with a number of repulsive traits that often cause the person to be either cast out of society or embraced by fellow authoritarians. When examining this particular human behavior, it is critical to include the inherent association to political leadership in order to gain a more significant understanding behind the issue of authoritarianism. Russia, Iran and Afghanistan represent three of the most authoritarian governments across the globe. Their collective, as well as individual, approach to civil liberties, democracy and the pursuit of individual happiness is nonexistent; rather, their focus is upon suppressive rule where people are bestowed no natural rights or ability to pursue their desires. The student will readily note that there is little – if any – difference in the manner by which these three nations assert their authoritarianism. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Barbara Tuchman: The March of Folly (1984)
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) 'Don't confuse me with facts!' is a cry
heard throughout the world when it comes to
governmental decisions. Barbara
Tuchman, the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, and one
of the best American historians, wrote in her book
The March of Folly (1984) that 'a phenomenon
noticeable throughout history regardless of place
or period is the pursuit by governments of policies
contrary to their own interests' . According to
her, 'self-interest is whatever conduces to the
welfare or advantage of the body being governed;
folly is a policy that in these terms is
counter-productive'. Tuchman considered folly to
be the most dangerous act of mis-government and
saw it as a 'self-destructive act carried out
despite the availability of a recognized and
feasible alternative'.
