History of Korea

potential war. Firstly, in the Korean war the Canadians had sent a couple thousand troops, to aid South Korea from the invasion of North Korea. Through this, the Canadians along with a couple of United Nations forces were capable of attaining a cease-fire to stop the fighting between the two countries. Canada had been justified in its actions because if they had not implemented their force, North Korea would have done much more damage internationally. Secondly, the…

North Korea becomes a more prominent threat everyday. Their progress in nuclear technology is something we can not ignore, especially with such an unstable leader who has people who follow him blindly. It is time to do something about this mysterious and threatening regime. In my opinion, bringing awareness to the citizens of North Korea, ending relations between China and North Korea, and installing a new government are the most important components in dealing with this crisis. Bringing…

North Korea and Denuclearization North Korea has flirted with the idea of denuclearization in the past, but the issue has been brought back up recently. From 1985, they have made many deals to stop the production and tests of nuclear weapons, but they have either violated them or asked for ridiculous amounts of assistance. (“This isn’t the first time pyongyang has flirted with denuclearization,” Joe Sterling, March 9th 2018 CNN.) Today they are making steps towards connecting back with the…

The interwar period of 1919-1939 had economic disruptions that led to unstable political conditions during transformations that were occurring in Japan, China, Mexico, Turkey and Iran. Of all these countries Japan stands out as executing the most successful transformation due to aggressive nationalism that helped it achieve expansion into China as well as the ability to create an empire during this period. Other countries like China and Mexico were less successful because of struggles to…

aggressive nations’ lashing out at innocent civilians but arguably none of these offenses are as atrocious and oppressive as the actions of the regime in North Korea against their own citizens. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is an ironic name for a nation that is clearly anything but a democratic republic for the people. In North Korea freedoms largely considered a human right in other nations do not exist. There is no freedom of speech and media sources such as television,…

Wildlife Planet - http://www.wildlifeplanet.net is calling on The National Hockey Leauge President Gary Bettman and the NHL Players to boycott the 2018 Winter Olympics to protest South Korea’s dog meat trade slaughters that butcher approximately 3 million dogs each year. Worse yet, the dogs are tortured in the belief that their horrific suffering makes the meat taste better — they may be hung, electrocuted and cooked alive. Pyeongchang Olympic organizers consider securing the participation of…

not America's Bitch Although actions speak louder than words, North Korean people continue to remain silent for their sanity. Taught to bow down and give all to the mighty Kim Jong Un, leaving none for themselves. The sovereign immunity of North Korea protects only the main man in charge but provides absolutely no effect to the biggest problem occurring, the tribulation of the people enduring it. Through the eyes of Shin Dong-hyuk, who experienced the trouble first hand, Blaine Harden opens a…

While considering the development of the North and South Korea after Korea got its liberation from Japan, the main cause that made the difference between the North and South is the division of the country by Soviet Union and USA. Post-liberation period was rather chaotic period to begin with since “this prodigious mass of humanity – everyone from elite exiled political leaders to common laborers and former peasants – returned to a land reeling from the effects of forty years of Japanese Rule”…

Literacy has broader implications of the word than the definition in the dictionary. The reason why I recalled the moment of a middle school class in Korea is also related to impacts of literacy. That is because backgrounds and experiences of a person determine literacy of the person. Since I learned shallow definition of English words in Korea, sometimes I misunderstand lectures. These kinds of situations might be seen as one of 'literacy events ' due to different backgrounds. "Literacy…
