In Korea, after Korean war, almost facilities were destroyed. The soldier took the power and controls Korea. The government keep oppress citizens and media. They have no freedom, it finally cause 5.18 Gwangju Uprising. There is a relationship between John Locke and Gwangju Uprising.

There are currently traditions being carried out with negative impacts for society. One example is the rule of North Korea by one man named Kim Jong Un. The people in North Korea see their leader as the one who could lead his people to glory, even though he constantly works against their interests. They are forced to follow his law, rather than their own personal ethics. Even when he creates…

that these strikes are limited in scope, the strikes are in defense of North Korean threats, and the U.S. will not seek regime change. The U.S. would also need to persuade China to assist in preventing North Korean military escalations. Although Kim Jong-un may retaliate on a small scale, he understands that war will ultimately lead to the demise of his regime. The above preconditions are a starting point to make this a supportable option. Compelling regime change is also an…

I was born in South Korea and grew up in America. As a person who has dual-citizenship, it is nice to know that I have another home. When I become legal, I will have to choose which country I would like to have citizenship in and that would be a bit challenging. The United States is a place where I would want to continue my education while Korea is where I would like to reside in without having to have a work visa or get married to a native. Korea, my first home, is a country that I always look…

In this interview I have found out about an individual’s point of view about family, ethnic experiences and education in South Korea. Seung Joo Lee, 17 years old, a very close friend of mine. She is from South Korea and have been living in the United States since April, 2010. She has two siblings, one older sister who is in college and one younger brother who is in middle school.

sides have had complications. One example that shows it in the present day was in August of this year. Global News reported that two countries exchanged gunfire when “the North lobbed a single artillery round at a South Korean border town” ( Hyung-Jim Kim). If the North were to keep provoking a war with the South, they would need their weapons to take down the South Koreans vast army who is trained and backed up by the US. China is also another concerning county for North Korea. Their…

violent ruling, and the similar phonemes appeared today in North Korea too. According to the website Human Rights Watch, “Kim Jong-Un’s power is built on the continued abuses inflicted on the North Korean people because he sits at the helm of a central government apparatus that uses public executions, extensive political prison camps, and brutal forced labor to maintain control,”. Kim Jong-Un, the dictator of North Korea, public arrest and kill anyone who threatens his power. Napoleon is capable…

This quote states that military dictatorship is born by force and not democracy. This concept is present in both books were the government is dangerously powerful and uses any means necessary to scare its own people in doing what they want them to do. Writers of dystopian novels often write stories set in the future to warn us about the potential hazards of the choices we are making TODAY. The novels, Surviving Antarctica, and Legend both depict a future in which government has become…

his clothes, one can assume that he has earned some kind of military honor. This man is Kim Jong-un, the supreme leader of the People’s Democratic Republic of North Korea. He is thirty-two years old and he took this position when his father, Kim Jong-Il, died of a heart attack a few years ago. His father was known as a ruthless dictator; has his son followed in his footsteps? The reason why this picture of Kim Jong-un was selected is because they are staged. They were chosen to deliberately…
