North Korea: Population and Technology North Korea is located on the Korean Peninsula in eastern Asia. North Korea is bordered by China, Russia, and South Korea. Not far to the East lies Japan, the former occupier of the entire peninsula (CIA). The location between these countries is one of the most important keys to the formation of North Korea. The exclusive nature, high-urbanization, and governmental policies are leaving the Korean population in a tug-of-war between natural reductions…

narratives’ disparate manners of identity construction can be illustrated on how both narratives distinguish themselves from others in terms of being a foreigner. Roberts summarizes Hyun’s ambiguous position in both Korean and German societies, “ In Korea, he is a foreigner legally, In Germany, he is a foreigner emotionally.” (Roberts, 29) And Roberts also adds another fact to explain why the second generation of Korean-Germans are forceful to identify themselves as Koreans, “The sort of…

nation of North Korea is no exception, with countless numbers of cruel dictators. The government in North Korea pervades all aspects of civilian life. With most of Korean citizens starved and improvised; the bitter hatred toward the US still remains. North Korea’s current dictator, Kim Jong-un began his reign on March 2014 to current day. On September 15, 2015 he states he is ready to use nuclear weapons against the United States and other…

on Japan and encroached on Korea (Wikipedia, 2016). The United States became wary of the Soviet Union taking over all of Korea and asked that operations be limited to the northern peninsula, which left the southern peninsula free for United States militia to occupy (Wikipedia, 2016).

Opponents of a full ban say that minefields are crucial in the defense of South Korea especially Seoul, but those for a ban say that those are technically South Korean landmines. This issue is complex requiring appeasing an…

and a unified Korea operated under the 1882 Treaty of Peace, Amity, Commerce, and Navigation. Shortly after this period and leading up to World War II, the Korean Peninsula had been an annexed country of the Empire of Japan. After the war, Korea was split along its 38th parallel. (U.S. Department of State, 2015) The Northern part of the country was controlled by the former Soviet Union and America in the South.

On the north side of the 38th parallel, stood a country ruled under democratic Soviet communism and on the southern side a country influenced by republican control.

To take the approach of coercive…
