Analytic Essay. You need to write an analytic essay on autocratic, democratic, or technocratic personality, institution, or culture. Topic: Focus on one issue in your essay.
There are obviously nine possible issues to choose for your essay:
Autocratic personality, democratic personality, technocratic personality; autocratic institution, democratic institution, technocratic institution; autocratic culture, democratic culture, technocratic culture. Source: Read From Autocracy to Democracy to Technocracy: An Evolution of Human Polity
If you write on autocratic personality, you should read Part II completely so you can develop your ideas on it for a good essay. If you write on democratic institutions, you need to read Part III carefully. If you write on technocratic culture, you must read Part IV thoroughly. Required Elements: Your essay must tackle these essential elements. For example, if you write on technocratic personality, you need to address
(1) what automatic personality is, its main characteristics and behavioral symptoms;
(2) what social factors and forces lie under autocratic personality;
(3) how autocratic personality molds political leaders, influences common citizens, and shapes social atmospheres; and (4) how autocratic personality might penetrate in democracy and even technocracy while dominating autocracy.
