The book I’ve read, Animal Farm by George Orwell, shows me how power becomes absolute power step by step, and then turns into a horrible thing called totalitarianism. Once a person gets so much power that properly no one can be against with him, the sort of power this person has is called absolute power. However, it’s not bad for a person to have absolute power. He can still use his power to do the things that makes everyone agree that his abilities can make their lives better.
So, my research question is—- how do people gain absolute power? How absolute turns into totalitarianism?
Lines of inquiry:
- Why people want to gain power?
- What’s the method do they used to gain power?
- What caused them to turn their power into totalitarianism?
- Did someone use totalitarianism to lead people? How was that?
