Argumentative essay on 1984

Hello everyone!

I have an argumentative essay using the book 1984 as a source due around the next month. We have to think of our own topic and I have one but I'm not sure if it makes sense and if it's arguable. I thought of this: "Fear can make an utopia society."

With fear, you get people to listen to the leader/dictator and the dictator will rule the country making the place perfect with the help of the citizens.

I've come up with three sections for this topic but I'm not sure if it relates.
For section one: the main idea will be about making people perfect by using fear to make them listen and obey you.

section two: main idea will be about torture, what kind of torture strategies will be used to penalize the people when they're not listening and hurting them to make them feel scared to look up to the leader for help.

section three: main idea will be about logic and to control the people's minds in believing the land is perfect and their leader is a good leader like in the book 1984 where the people thought Big Brother was good.

I just don't know how to convert the sections into topic sentences.
Tell me if the topic and sections is okay because I'm really stuck, thank you! And if you can think of topic sentences using these sections that will be great too. Thanks!

Don't be afraid to drop off any comments below!

...Never try to use a "/" in your essay. It breaks the rhythm of your writing. And I do not think a leader would ever use fear as a weapon to make those under him obey his orders. A leader differs from a dictator because of this exact reason. Respect is what a leader would use.

If you finish the essay post it here so that we can help you. Judging by your sections I can see that this is going to be a very interesting essay.

Thanks!
Do you know how to turn the sections into topic sentences?

For section 1, I've come up with 2 examples and I need another one.
1st: Fear is a powerful tool that many governments use. Fear makes us think , feel and makes us do anything when we're scared.
2nd: Nuclear weapons holds a massive destructive power that many people in the world fear.

Are these examples okay? Do they relate to the sections? topic?
Can anyone think of another example?
And anyone know how to use "1984" as a source?

Thanks again!
