Totalism for Dummies

Hey there! Today, we are going to dive into a word called "Totalism." Now, I understand that learning new words can sometimes be a bit hard, but I promise to explain it in the simplest way possible, using words that you are familiar with. So, let's get started!

Have you ever played a game where you have to follow a set of rules? Well, "Totalism" is kind of like that, but in a much bigger way.

So, imagine that you are at a party, and there is a person who wants everybody to do things exactly the way they want. They want everyone to wear specific colors, eat only certain foods, play only particular games, and even talk about specific topics. They want to control every little thing to make sure everything goes their way.

That person is what we would call a "Totalist." They believe in a system where one person or a small group of people has complete control and power over everything and everyone. Totalism is when power is concentrated in one place, and individuals are expected to follow strict rules set by those in power.

It's like having a boss who wants you to do your job in exactly the way they want, without any room for flexibility or personal ideas. Totalism can appear in different forms, like in a government, where a dictator makes all the decisions without considering the opinions of the people.

But totalism is not only about control, it also means that people who follow the rules get rewarded, and those who don't might face punishment. The totalist believes that their way of doing things is the absolute best and that everyone should conform to their ideas.

Now, I hope that explanation helps you understand what "Totalism" means. It's like being in a party where one person wants to control everything and everyone, and they believe that their way is always the best. Keep in mind that while totalism can make things seem organized, it often limits individual freedoms and creativity. So, it's important to find a balance between following rules and having the freedom to express ourselves and make our own choices. I hope that makes sense!
