In North Korea they worship one or two people ( currently Kim Jong-Un). The current leader is treated as a God, and made out to be great by constant propaganda. The documentary “Inside Undercover In North Korea” showed how all around the country there were large statues, pictures, etc all of the leader where…

Frank Darabont’s film, The Green Mile, shows great examples of compassion and empathy, being corrupted by power, and how the death penalty can have many negative affects on the people performing it and those related to the sentenced individual. This movie’s topics are very relatable to every person’s opinions, and are still very relevant to this day and age.
