Task: Academic Report on dictatorship

● Show your comprehension of dictatorship by writing a report on one of the countries of

your choice that practiced dictatorship and how life is there nowadays. 
● The report should be 5 pages long (font size 11 – Calibri), excluding the cover page and the
bibliography .
 
 Instructions:
Step 1:
● Choose an example of a well-known dictatorship country in the world, for instance:
 
- North Korea 
- China 
- Italy 
- Germany
- Cuba
- Turkey

Step 2:

● Collect and record information about any well-known dictatorship country of your choice

or from the abovementioned examples. 

● Write a detailed report on your chosen country; how did a dictator leader in the time
govern it, and how is life there now?
 
● Include useful information about dictatorship and its types and features.

● Describe your chosen country in detail. Compare life now and then.
 ● Within your report, consider the following questions:
 
- When did the dictatorship within your chosen country start?
- What are the main rules and restraints in that country?
- What type of dictatorship is it? Totalitarian or authoritarian?
- What was the system of government in that country before dictatorship? And who changed it?
 
 
● Your report must include an explanation of how the participation of dictatorship might
affect people living within that country

● Structure of the report:

Make sure you read your course information carefully. A report is typically made up of three main
divisions: (1) Primary material, (2) Body of report, (3) Supplementary material. Each of the sections
contain a different kind of content. Refer to the table below:

Broad Divisions Individual Sections

● Primary material ● Title of report

● Table of content
● abstract

● Body of report ● Introduction

● Literature review
● Methodology
● Results
● Discussion
● Conclusion
● Recommendations

● Supplementary material ● References or bibliography

● appendices
