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 sternum is located at the middle of the front part of the rib cage between the breasts. In women, the cleavage of the breasts (intramammary cleft) lies over the sternum. The location of the sternum has therefore contributed to the common term breastbone although it it not part of the male or female breast.
