for the trials i answered my question on totalitarianism like this:
intro :
In order to answer this question it is important to first define the key phrase 'totalitarian state'. According to Fredrick, a totalitarian state must: attempt to control every part of people's lives, be a dictatorship with one party and one leader, have the country's media, economy and education system firmly under state control, and try to control the social lives of its people. A totalitarian state may also tend to be both militaristic and nationalistic.
An alternative definition given by the Encyclopaedia Britannica says:
"In the broadest sense, totalitarianism is characterized by strong central rule that attempts to control and direct all aspects of individual life through coercion and repression. The state achieves popularity through a strong, charismatic leader."
In order to answer the question, each of the above points must be addressed and compared with the example of Nazi Germany on order to decide to what extent Nazi Germany was a totalitarian state.
Now i'm just wondering if that was the way i'm suppose to do it, cos i'm pretty worried atm.
