They reduce conflict by recording everyone almost all the time and instilling a fear in the citizenry which forces them to show no unorthodox emotions or beliefs because of the probable consequence of death.

Now Keaton, for how long have we been making claims and backing them up in this class? You mean to tell me that you can articulate ideas so clearly and yet have not one shred of support to back up any of these. Also, if these are all fact, then what you have done is summary, not analysis. Look at the prompt and make sure you are addressing all parts thoroughly and supporting them with specific details from the story.
