Totalitarianism is a political system in which the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life whenever necessary. The concept of totalitarianism was first developed on a positive sense in the 1920s by the Italian fascists.
The sternum or breastbone is a vertical flat bone lying at the anterior middle part of the chest. Externally, it is made up of compact bone. Inside of it is a cancellous or spongy tissue that is entirely vascular. The adult length of the sternum measures 15-17 cm.
The breastbone plays an important role firstly in acting as a âshieldâ against any external force as well as serving as point where the collarbone (clavicle) and ribs can connect on either side. Pain in the area between the breasts, also referred to as cleavage pain, is therefore the same as breastbone pain.
