Group+5

Group 5: Nicole Mertz Grace Prisco Prince Canaan Brenda Kerr = Monopoly =


 * Religious Organizations-** Having more than one religion causes controversies. Our new regime, Monopoly, will have no religion. If you believe in any form of higher power and don't change immediately you will be killed.


 * Military and Armed forces-** In order to join, you must prove your loyalty to Monopoly by getting a tattoo of a barcode with a specific number you are given on the back of your neck. Joining our Military you would have more freedom than the average citizen of Monopoly. If the military is not sized immediately there would be uprisings within the government and there will be fighting for the regain of control over their country.


 * Movie/ TV/ Radio Industry-** Being in control of these industries cut off their knowledge of other parts of the world as well as stopping them from having freedom of speech. If people were able to use these industries at freewill then they can contact other places and try to overthrow Monopoly.


 * Technology (internet, cellphones)-** If we don't control the phones the citizens of Monopoly will have a way of contacting other civilizations as well as communicating with each other ways of overthrowing Monopoly. People can only use internet sites that have been approved by the government. If they are not, you will receive violations for each offense. For continued offense you will be put on trial for your disobedience.


 * Government agencies (CIA, FBI)-** These agencies will be under close observation. Without total control over these organizations there could be major corruption within the government.


 * Oil/gas Companies-** Controlling the energy stops people from being able to use it at liberty. Energy use will be rationed. At the start of each year everyone will be given 5 coupon booklets for energy purchases. Each booklet has 10 coupons in it.


 * Water Supply-** Water will be rationed. If people do not abide by the laws of Monopoly their water will be shut off for 3 days. After that the water will be turned back on. If there is a continued offense the water will be shut off for good. If someone is caught giving water to offenders their water would be shut of as well. This will teach the citizens that disobeying will have serious consequences.


 * Power Companies-** Like with the water supply the power supplies will be rationed as well. Throughout the day their will be minimal electricity flowing through the power lines. Meaning you can only power one thing at a time during that period. Between 6pm-10pm there will be full electrical power flowing through the power lines. This gives them more time to be working instead being of inside the house doing nothing.


 * Banking industry-** All money will be watched, any absurd amount of money withdrawn or deposited the person responsible will be questioned. Being in control of the banks lets us know who is buying what and who is saving for what.


 * Judicial System-** Will be run by the highest person in the Monopoly government and all decisions will be made in favor of monopoly. There is no jury and if you are found to be guilty for any crime you commit you will be sent to a work camp to work in the mines. If you commit treason you will be killed.

**Questions:**
• A totalitarian society could never exist in the United States because the government is made up of more than just the leader. People also vote for who they want to put in the government as well as the people are used to having the freedom they do, so if one person was to try to take over with totalitarian views this person will met with a very strong opposition.

• An ideal totalitarian society would be better then a free society if everyone followed the rules set by the leader because it would be under better control than a free society. In a free society, people can do what they want and everyone is under their own control. In a totalitarian society, everyone is under the same leader and follows the same rules, but there is more chance people would want to over throw the government and that is considered a crime.

• A totalitarian society needs a leader or figurehead. If it didn't have a leader the rules would not be enforced and the whole government could be over thrown.
