List three (3) interesting facts about life in totalitarian societies.
Answer:
1) A totalitarian leader tends to use propaganda campaigns spread by state-controlled mass media.
2) Totalitarianism is the most extreme kind of authoritarianism. In authoritarian governments, the state has a single power holder (individual dictator or political elite) that monopolizes political power. If not contested, provides society some degree of liberty. On the other hand, a totalitarian regime strives to control essentially all aspects of social life, like the economy, sciences, education, art, private matters, and social morals.
3) The Economist has deemed China's social credit system as totalitarian because it is used to screen and classify its citizens according to their personal behavior.

Read the excerpt from Justice Curtis’s dissenting opinion, then answer the question that follows.
Slavery, being contrary to natural right, is created only by municipal law. This is not only plain in itself, and agreed by all writers on the subject, but is inferable from the Constitution, and has been explicitly declared by this court. The Constitution refers to slaves as “persons held to service in one State, under the laws thereof.” . . . .
. . . It was certainly understood by the Convention which framed the Constitution, and has been so understood ever since, that, under the power to regulate commerce, Congress could prohibit the importation of slaves; and the exercise of the power was restrained till 1808. A citizen of the United States owns slaves in Cuba, and brings them to the United States, where they are set free by the legislation of Congress. Does this legislation deprive him of his property without due process of law? If so, what becomes of the laws prohibiting the slave trade? If not, how can a similar regulation respecting a Territory violate the fifth amendment of the Constitution? . . . .
For these reasons, I am of opinion that so much of the several acts of Congress as prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude within that part of the Territory of Wisconsin . . . were constitutional and valid laws.

Racecourse and discourse have the same root, course, which means "movement along a path."
Based on this information, what is the most likely definition of discourse?
extended discussion on a subject
fragmented conversation
major field of study
scattered bits of information
Answer:
extended discussion on a subject
Explanation:
Course as defined in the scenario above means movement along a path. The word discourse could therefore be broken into two:
dis - which plays the role of a prefix and ;
course - the root word meaning movement along a path
The prefix usually means : to break, move apart, deviate or opposite of something. Therefore combining the root word and the prefix, we might define discourse to mean a discussion or talks which isn't just in a certain direction or path, it could be characterized as being unusually long covering various fields.
