    In North Korea there are many things that the people have to go through being under the dictatorship of Kim Jong Un. Un is a very powerful man that many people fear, he doesn't treat his people well. In north korea tvs are put in your house and can't be turned off, there is no social media or tv that isn't ran by the government. Even though Kim is a powerful leader he is not a nice man, he uses nukes to threaten, he oppresses his people, and uses his power to execute people for no reason. When he does get the people to agree with him or do what he wants he's makes them scared he's uses fear as a tactic.…

    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…

    The year is 1948, Joseph Stalin has just appointed the leader of North Korea as Kim Il-Sung, and since that time the same family has been in power. Kim Il-Sung is the man who is responsible for North Korea’s drive to become a nuclear power to this day. It was his demand for nuclear weapons that pushed the regime in its search. Flash-forward, it’s 1994, North Korea under the leadership of Kim Jong Il, Il-Sung’s son, announces it’s intentions to retract from the “Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT),” further confirming suspicions that North Korea had resumed its nuclear program (Arms Control Association, 2017) In May of 1996, president Bill Clinton places sanctions on North Korea not allowing exports or imports to the parts of the country deemed “missile-related.” (Arms Control Association, 2017). The effect of this was to cut off resources to an already starving country, but more importantly the citizens of this…

    A: Shin provided me and the public with a lot of valuable information surrounding these camps in N. Korea. It’s actually rather hard for anyone to do anything. N. Korea doesn’t listen to any demands from others. If someone were to use military force on them, they would could easily counter attack on South Korea. The Korean war never really ended, it’s just at a prolonged stalemate. But one slip up, and thousands of S. Koreans would…

    The Soviet Union received the area north of the 38th parallel and the US got the south. The Soviet Union established a communistic government in the north and the South was more democratic. In 1950 North Korea invaded South Korea in an attempt to reunify the country under their communist government. The US and the United Nations gave support to the South while China gave aid to the North. This attack led to war which eventually ended in a stalemate and a divided Korea. Eventually, South Korea became a wealthy trading nation and the north’s condition began to decline. By the late 1990s the South Korean government implemented the "sunshine policy" which involved peaceful cooperation with the north (Rowntree 380). The north remained hostile and detonated small nuclear bombs in 2006 and 2009. The sunshine policy was dropped in…

    Imagine if the United States was divided into two separate countries, a communist nation and a democratic nation. Pretend you lived in the communist nation. There you would have no freedoms and rights. Your economy is also declining. You want to reunite with the democratic nation, but they don’t want you back. Your country has a bad reputation for nuclear weapons, violence, and discrimination against people who don’t believe in communism. This is what North and South Korea are going through right now. The North wants to reunite with the South because they are in an economic hole. Because of North Korea’s historic ties to China and South Korea’s ties to the United States, this very local conflict between two small nations has potential global…

    Torture, rape, and extinction; these are just a few of the terrible acts that happen each day in North Korea’s gulag system. Although North Korea denies the sketches that refugees have created, which detail gruesome scenes and shallow acts against prisoners, stories of what really happen inside North Korea catch the media’s attention frequently, causing a burst of rage in North Korean human rights activists. Recently, a University of Virginia student by the name Otto Warmbier was sentenced to fifteen years of hard labor, just because he thought it would be funny to steal a political banner from his hotel room. While many think that the punishment does not fit the crime, the North…

    The new North Korean communist/dictatorship government was founded by Kim-il-Sung. Kim Jong un is currently ruling over North Korea with two iron fists. In this country, sectioned off from everyone else in the world, there are concentration camps and labour camps. In emmbassador for North Korea calims that there are no such things in his country; even though report after report claims that the “gross treatment of human life is happening there”. You are either put into these camps or born here. To be placed in the camps, you have to be deemed an enemy of North Korea. Sound hard? Not entirely. Ever notice in videos how every North Korean person is chanting, marching, yelling, praising? It’s for a reason. If you do not chant along with the crowd or praise Kim Jong un, you are called out and belittled by the crowd and then deemed an enemy of the state. Use of Violence and Terror to Maintain…

    Besides the possible threat of nuclear weapons, North Korea is drowning in poverty. It has been proven that forty percent of the population of North Korea fall below the poverty line, and the average worker makes what would translate to $2 to $3 per month. I speak on behalf of several others when I say I will put up with this cruelty no longer. This…

    The occupation of the Soviets influenced the North Korean government to turn into a communist government. In addition, the assistance of Chinese troops during the war and their presence in the country until 1958 gave China some degree of influence in North Korea. In 1961, North Korea concluded formal mutual security treaties with the Soviet Union and China, which have not been formally ended. In the 1950s, after the Soviets had pulled out, the newly created communist dictatorship of North Korea invaded the southern half trying to turn it communist as well. The Unites States saw this as a threat to world democracy and assisted South Korea, starting this seemingly eternal war. North Korea's nuclear research program started with Soviet help in the 1960s, on condition that it joined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). In the past years North Korea has threatened to launch nuclear weapons to neighboring countries such as Japan and South Korea. Recent tests indicate that the regime’s nuclear capabilities are improving, and they may be only a few years away from developing a weapon that can hit the continental U.S. Such an aspiration is not that far-fetched, given the regime’s recent statement and propaganda that advertises this goal with images of their nukes hitting Capitol Hill. With the amount of…
