Panopitcism• Theory of discipline and power

Totalitarianism• Following World War One, the world
saw the rise of totalitarian governments in a variety of nations including: The Soviet Union, China, Italy, and Germany.
• Totalitarianism:– Political System, compatible with a
variety of ideologies (communism, fascism, Nazism), in which which the government recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life.
– Totalitarian governments stay in power through the use of a mode of control called panopticism.
