A  Totalitarianism 
What is it? How is it different to dictatorship? Give details on the features of totalitarian regimes in practice (ideology, propaganda, censorship, terror, cult of personality etc). Why is recourse to war a feature of its ideology? How did it contribute to World War Two? 

The final paper is the culmination of the original research carried out through the extensive
reading and analysis of peer-reviewed secondary sources. The purpose of the final paper is to
demonstrate your ability to carry out original research and produce an academic paper with the
use of academic sources. It is up to the student to locate specific sources and interpret them.
Important Guidelines:
Papers must be 10 pages double spaced, one-inch margins, 12 pt Times New Roman font. This
paper is worth 20% of your final grade.
Expectations:
A copy of the paper will be due on Canvas Sunday May 19th by 11:59pm. All materials must
be submitted by the due date and time to avoid any late penalties.
Expectations:
Write a 10-page research paper. Your final paper should demonstrate deep reading and critical
thinking of academic source material. You should include at least 5 scholarly sources. Your
proposals must be written in expository prose and should do the following:
1. Include a proper header with: your full name, the professor’s full name, the course name
number, and the date.
2. An introduction with necessary historical context (background) and the importance of the
topic.
3. A research question at the end of the introduction. Example (from another class): How
did the involvement of Chilean President Salvador Allende with Cuban President Fidel
Castro influence the United States’ perception of the Socialist Party of Chile in 1973?
You may tell from the tone of the question that it is open-ended (arguable) because other
scholars can contend the opposite or bring up an entirely different question explaining
U.S. involvement in Chile in 1973, leading to the overthrow of President Allende.
4. A thesis statement that responds to the research question. This should also be in the
introduction.
5. Analysis and argumentation in support of the thesis statement.
6. At least 5 scholarly sources must be used and cited.
7. A sound conclusion that wraps up the research paper.
8. Please use MLA citations. See the following link for MLA citations:

“What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” by Frederick Douglass is not only a brilliant work of oratory. It speaks to our every frustration spurred by the gap between the ideals of the United States and the reality we witness every day; between the Bill of Rights and our decaying civil liberties; between the USA’s international declarations of human rights and the ordered drone attacks backed by presidential “kill lists”; between the words “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” and a nation that leads the world in jailing its own citizens; between our highest ideals and our darkest realities. Even though his were words that spoke directly to his moment in history, they still ring with an unsettling power. As Douglass says: “Had I the ability, and could I reach the nation’s ear, I would today pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.”

Do you agree or disagree with Douglass’s statement that “there is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour”? Explain. What other injustices were going on in the United States in the first half of the nineteenth century that could further justify Douglass’s statement?
