    Those are two things that North Korea does not have because the government is neglectful of its people. North Korea has not had a happy history. Before communism took over, they were under Japanese military rule (Sarah Pruitt).Most Koreans were peasants working on farms. Now, only North Korea is going to control North Korea. One family has been dominating the nation since its independence. The Kim dynasty has ruled for years and will continue to rule for as long as they possibly can. The Kim family has used their power to brainwash the Korean citizens into thinking they are the greatest leaders to ever live. This is manipulative and neglectful, it does not show trust between leader and citizen. If a citizen believed in the leader of their country, they would not need to be brainwashed to think that…

    It all started in 1950, when the Iranian people elected Mohammad Mosaddegh as prime minister. He nationalized Iranian oil industry, which was under British control since 1913. This way the Iranian population was in charge again over the Iranian oil. But in 1953 Masaddegh was removed from power through cooperation between the American CIA and the British MI6. Mahammed Reza Pahlavi was installed as Shah. He kept his power through the police and by threatening people. It was a time of threat, fear and torture began and then he started to westernize Iran and enraged the mostly Shihad population of Iran. All this ended in 1979 when the people overthrow the Shah and Khomeini returned as the supreme leader of the Iranian revolution from his exile. He spent the last 15 years in exile due to his opposition against the Shah. After Khomeini had the power in Iran it resulted in firing squads and chaos. Meanwhile the shah and his family were able to leave Iran. In 1979 the shah was given asylum in the US because he was dying of cancer. The Iranian people gathered on the streets around the US-embassy in Teheran and were demanding the shah’s return and conviction in court, which would have most likely result in hanging him.…

The Shah's policy to punish anyone who dared to oppose him and his attempt to weaken political influence of religion in the country by limiting Islamic Laws socially an morally corrupted western influences. Muslim leaders, known as the Ayatollahs did not agree with this and took a stance to regain Islamic law in their nation.

Poverty increased and with the lack of food, crime increased (Ember 1207). During the war, production of weapons increased while the production of goods decreased (Fincher 34). In effort of reestablishing the economy, North Korea reinforced the industry by making them owned by state (Ember 1206).

    Kim Jong-Un is the leader of an extreme centrally planned economy. A centrally planned economy is when the state/government makes economic decisions. The state can set prices for goods and determine how much is produced. North Korea practices this ideology to the extreme. North Korea is known as unreformed, isolated and a tightly controlled dictatorial command economy. The government resists economic reform. In this economy the role of the market's invisible hand is very limited because the government intervenes with every aspect.…

    Since no export revenue is being generated, jobs are much harder to create along the seashores, as well as the inland cities and rural communities. North Korea is utterly dependent on imported oil, which was sold to them at a high cost from countries such as the former Soviet Union. Paul Liem, the chairman of the Korea Peace institute, argues that now North Korea must begin to import food, fertilizer, and other goods just so its economy can stay above water. However, North Korea continues to live by its traditional values in terms of foreign exchange, limiting imports on much needed goods from other countries. Holding back on aid from other countries is no simple task for a small country like North Korea (Liem 119). As North Korea scrambles to import much needed goods to an ever increasing population, a widespread famine would not be unlikely, which not only ravaged North Korean communities in the nineties, but is still happening to the bankrupt lower class who can’t afford the basic necessities that they need to…
