North Korea has been the first country since the Cold war to threaten the U.S with nuclear war. In recent years there has been an increased rate of smuggled good such as laptops, radios, thumb drives, and more into the country through China. Filming on the Chinese side of the border is illegal. The contraband is used to attain information about the world outside of North Korea. Three quarters of the population have no food to eat and are starving, and this has led to illegal food markets. Kim Jong Un is the dictator of North Korea, and is thought of as God-like. At the start of his reign there was doubt by the citizens, they created propaganda videos promoting him and his likeness to his grandfather who was a very liked by the people. North
Present day ruler, Kim Jong Un is known for his cruel ways of ruling and his nuclear power. North Korea has no religion, as it is discouraged. Because there is no religion, most citizens get into fights about their ideas of religion. Other people are too afraid to talk about their religion and even pass it on to their children because of what Kim Jong Un might do. Kim is known for executing people to get his way. Since he came to power, he has ordered at least three hundred and forty people to death. One hundred and forty of these people were apart of his government. Due to the executions, his people fear him. On a different topic, North Korea is the 119th largest trading economy in the world, exporting 2.83 billion dollars and importing 3.47 billion dollars. North Korea's largest trading partner is China, gaining food and energy. Other trading partners include, Pakistan, Asia, Russia, etc. China was also the one who gave North Korea nuclear weapons. North Korea was short on nuclear weapons and Kim decided it was time to advance the weaponry. As of 2014, the North Korean Army has 950,000
Obsession can be many things depending on how it is taken in view. Most of the time obsession can become very dangerous and end with devastating consequences. It can be brought about by many variables. Either way it can lead to a man’s downfall or just cause him great pain. In Poe’s “The Black Cat” the man’s obsession became the cat that he killed then tried to replace. Hawthorne’s “The Birth Mark” the obsession was with the small hand print shaped birth mark on his wife’s face. When a man so desires something he would do anything to gain and be able to have his way he will not stop until it is so. The men from both Poe’s “The Black Cat” and Hawthorne’s “The Birth Mark” were obsessed leading to the desire to rid themselves of the thing they
North Korea is known to use misleading propaganda to appear as a great and power, well-built country when in reality its people are suffering greatly. The leaders know they are in the wrong yet will not admit it and seems to not truly care so long as they are powerful militarily
North Korea is a totalitarianism that is considered the strictest in the world. Among other things, North Korea has been selected as the nastiest in the world when it comes to press freedom. All the media in North Korea are controlled by the regime and top managers sitting on important party posts. For example, in every home in North Korea there is a radio fit in the wall. The radio cannot be turned off and out of it, it sends out North Korea propaganda.
Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, rules the country as a totalitarian leader. Kim started to gain obedience by presenting public executions to his citizens, the fear left nothing but to accept Kim Jong Un during his first 5 years of power. He prevents people from leaving the country and does not allow contact from the outside. In 2016 Kim built a barbed wired fence along China's border to prevent citizens from crossing and escaping North Korea, he is also working on block China cell phone services near the border. Domestic media in North Korea are state-controlled and foreign media is also strictly controlled and cell phone calls are monitored by Korean officials as well. North Koreans face serious punishment if caught with some foreign
North Koreas government uses its power to control information and restrict independent thought and freedom. The BBC News mentions, “North Koreas economic hardships or famines are not reported to the domestic audience” (North Korea’s Tightly Controlled Media). This shows how the government in North Korea uses their power to keep the inhabitants of the country blind to issues that would cause worry amongst them. The BBC News author later on mentions that rather than inform its citizens on real life issues occurring, they are informed of technological advances developed by their leaders’ revolutionary thinking. By doing this the North Korean government keeps the people blind and ignorant to complicated
Society puts pressure on citizens to conform to their standards of what is normal, however, when one obeys the toxicness that is expected, they lose their individualism and change who they truly are. It is not any different in Hester Prynne’s situation in the historical fiction novel, The Scarlet Letter. Nathaniel Hawthorne writes of an adulteress, who is forced to wear the letter “A” upon her chest to represent her sin, and her daughter, a constant reminder of what she has done. Although a puritan community demands a society to conform, Hester Prynne continues doing what is not expected and living her individual life even after being forced to hold a symbol of shame, ultimately illustrating the importance of being a nonconformist.
North Korea appears on the international stage as a country existing beyond the world we all know. It isolates its citizens from the rest of international community and does not obey any rules determined by international law, but requires respect and recognition. Moreover, North Korea is one of the countries that remains aggressive towards its neighbors and applies various terrorist techniques, i.e. illegal contraband, political terror and mass abductions of other countries’ citizens in its foreign policy. The reasons for which the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) behaves so unpredictably and irrationally are diversified. First of all, the DPRK as a country is managed very irrationally – regimes of Kim Il-sung and
The majority of people have an involuntary response to scenes of violence, often followed by changes in one's heart rate and skin conductance. The negative emotional response that follows inhibits aggressive behaviour, which provokes a helping behaviour. However, those who are exposed to violent video games or violent media, show a reduction in their skin conductance and heart rate when they are met with real violence. Young children become desensitization to these violent acts and tend to exhibit aggressive behaviours to follow. To these children, violent scenes becoming less arousing, and their exposure to media violence may reduce their physiological reaction to violence surrounding them in the real world. These behaviours may take an effect
Kim Jong Un is the the 29-year-old ruler of North Korea, one of the most distinctive and unpredictable countries in the world. It is a cocktail of poisonous elements: autocratic, repressive, isolated and poor (Powell).Its regime is dangerous not only to its people but also to the rest of the world. Its actions have had an unsettling impact on international relations in northeast Asia, particularly its nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009 and its shelling of Yeonpyeong Island in 2010, all of which led to tensions between China and the united States (Ahn). North Korea’s present and future, therefore, are of global concern (Powell). North Korea is "a
North Korea is a country that is entirely isolated from the rest of the world. The country is approximately estimated to the size of Mississippi, and contains about twenty three million people. Pyongyang, its capital is completely controlled by the leader named Kim Jong Il, who is an absolute dictator. The border that is a hundred forty eight miles long holds great attribute to their country. North Korea is considered to be one of the most secretive countries in the world, and is viewed as an intelligence black hole. Their military is one of the greatest in the world and continuously upholds its position by ensuring the safety of those who have long settled there. Behind those fences, North Korea sustains an incredible and well suited army that can withstand any matter that may be or come across as harmful. Additionally to that they now contain nuclear weapons that they can use if threatened. This
The nation has been testing nuclear hydrogen bombs, weapons that have the capacity to destroy huge regions. They are constantly improving their design, leading to a potential nuclear arsenal. In addition, the country contains skilled hackers who have the ability to intervene almost anywhere through cyber means. This hacking skill can give the North Koreans access to protected information, putting many people at risk. The nuclear and cyber skills that North Korea contains labels them as a global threat to the entire
North Korea (nK), bordering the Republic of Korea (ROK), also known as South Korea to the south and China to the north , maintains a standing army of over million soldiers , a large special operations force , and a sizable missile force . At the strategic level, maintaining situational awareness of North Korea’s activities is paramount to countering an all-out attack on South Korea. Consider the following scenario in which nK would gear up for an attack on South Korea. In this scenario, after a successful long range missile test, nK leadership has stepped up its anti US/ROK alliance rhetoric. The nK economy is bottoming out, the World Food Aid program lessens its aid to nK, and South Korea leadership is not willing to feed
The United States and South Korea are both developed countries in opposite sides of the world. Consequently, the challenges that the education field faces in regards to mental health are different. First, a concern discussed in regards to mental health in schools in the United States is how to deal with the different challenges that arise in children with learning disabilities. There is a lot of debate whether or not these children with special needs should be educated on inclusive education, or not. These challenges are further worsened when it comes to different resources that are available in schools. Because of the lack of funding that many schools face, it makes it harder for the school to help these children thrive in school. However, in South Korea most children who are considered to have learning disabilities are put on inclusive education the majority of the time to help them not only in their education but also in ways that they can better adapt to society once they are done with school.
I want the world to know more about my country which is South Korea. Korea is a unique country with a long history. It has beautiful culture and traditions. The history makes the people complete and united. There have been trials in the past that needed to be straightened out, which was still in the process of being clarified. The citizens work together in the free and just country to make the two countries whole. There have been flaws shown in North Korea and South Korea. I wanted to teach this town the truth about our history and only the truth. I don’t believe anyone has the right to say anything they are not educated of or verified to be true with facts and evidence. I couldn’t stand looking at people tell made up history about my country and be biased in countries that were in conflict with Korea because of various reasons. I wanted to start a change in this world so there was no need for confusion and misunderstandings. We cannot deny the truth in any way; so with the true history, I truly wanted to reveal all truths about Korea and its history that has been hidden through the years.
