  5. Anticipation Guide • The public cannot rule itself. We need strong leaders in order to maintain structure and order in a society. • Violence is justified if it serves the greater good. • If a figure of authority disrespects/mistreats you, it is your responsibility to speak out for your rights.

  6. Anticipation Guide • Religion has no place in politics. • All works of literature are socially motivated. • It is impossible to maintain a Utopian, or perfect, society. • Propaganda isn’t necessarily bad if it keeps the peace. i.e. “What the public doesn’t know won’t hurt them.” • History is doomed to repeat itself.

  7. Anticipation Guide • The personal feeling of accomplishment that one feels after a job well done is far more valuable than any sort of financial reward or incentive. • Socialism/Communism could successfully work in real life, if given the proper conditions. • Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
