How does a totalitarianism state attempt to make citizens obey its rules?

They don't always. The state may control through fear, or punishment. For example if you're a criminal you may not fear the consequences of your crimes as much as the need to commit the crime in the first place.

If you're in a totalitarian state, you may feel like opposing the state as a point of justice which is greater than your fear of what the state might do in revenge. Those who obey may do so for the opposite reasons, or because they broadly accept the laws and rules of the state they live in (usually because they can democratically change that periodically if they are not happy).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
