In North Korea most people don’t know what “freedom” means, in China most people don’t know what “opinion” means, in the Middle East most people don’t know what “solution” means, and in America most people don’t know what “the rest of the world” means.

I plan to prove that his assertion is correct by using the oil painting “The Broken Column”, a Mexican artwork created by artist Frida Kahlo, in 1944.
