A Country Is Authoritarian Or Democratic Is Not A Choice

In an autocracy, one person has all the power. The person can gain their power by being related to the previous ruler, and then it would be also known as a monarchy. Andorra is an example of a current monarchy. Sometimes force is used to attain and hold authority, this is known as a dictatorship. North Korea is a dictatorship, with Kim Jong Un being the dictator. Theocracies can also be autocracies when there is a single religious leader who controls the government, such as Iran. ("Governments: How Do They Run?"). This government system is very fast at making decisions and this can be helpful

Many aspects of human rights are broken in North Korean society that affect the people negatively, making them feel violated.

Whereas China may have more than one choice, but that choice will be from the Chinese Communist Party; the reality of North Korea is that the members of the Supreme People's Assembly have one choice and one choice only for who will be their supreme leader.

Communism the worst kind of government, like your being watched every step of the way there is no freedom, no democracy all mind games. It's just too hard to live in if you know what their doing, if you speak up in a negative way to the government it's off to the prison camps.

Both their governments are totalitarian, they do not tolerate any individual freedom.

George Orwell’s 1984, widely known for its chilling descriptions of the dystopian society of Oceania, warns of a world in which individuality is virtually destroyed as one oppressive government controls all aspects of life. Decades after the novel’s publication in 1949, various nations today draw unsettling parallels with the characteristics of the government described in 1984. North Korea is one such example, particularly seen as a controversial topic in global debate. Although North Korea and Oceania in 1984 both possess totalitarian governments that attempt to control and restrict individualism, the means in which each government originated and gained authority differ.

The major differences between democratic, authoritarian, and anarchic political systems are who holds the power, who has freedom/how much, and how much involvement the government has in the workings of its country. For authoritarian states, the power is held mainly by a single person or an elite group of people, few people have freedom, with what freedom they have being limited, and the government, or rather the leader/leaders, is involved in almost every aspect of the country from controlling the economy to making decisions for the lifestyles of its citizens like deciding how many kids they may have or what hair styles are approved. Everything is at the whim of those in charge and can change at any second. Anarchic is the exact opposite of this. In an anarchic government, everyone has power all the power they can take for themselves, nothing is unpermitted as there are no laws and since a government doesn’t exist, it can’t have any involvement in anything. Finally there is the democratic system which is a happy medium between these two extremes. In a democracy, everyone has some power through the right to vote directly or for elected officials who will run the country (who are limited by a constitution of some kind), everyone has freedom within the country’s generally reasonable laws, and government involvement is limited to making laws and regulations within reason to protect its citizens, economy, etc. For example, you would not see a democratic nation forbidding speaking

Most people probably think 1984 is completely fiction, but there are many drastic similarities between 1984 and North Korean Society. These societies have forced labor camps, powerful dictators or government parties, and the use of propaganda.

On the other hand, they differ when it comes to they way they designed their governments. Both 1984’s and North Korea's societies are similar in the ways they control, torture, and deprive their people, but differ when it comes to government organization.

The government of the independent states of the world is usually either autocracy or democracy. Autocracy refers to a system where one person has absolute power over a nation. Democracy is a system of government by the whole population or all eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. The first wave of democratization started in the early 19th century and persisted until the 1920’s after which many democracies reverted to autocracy. Many democracies failed, creating the first reverse wave. After World War II had ended, the second wave of democratization came along. It was relatively brief with the bulk of countries deferring to autocracy by the 1950’s. The mid-1970’s brought the third wave of democratization which continued in
