Still not so harmful? Going back on Kim Jong II allowing his people to go through poverty, normal economies cope with importing food, but this was not the case for North Korea. During the 1980’s, North Koreas government embarked on a policy of radical self-sufficiency known as juche. Farmers…

Jordan Guthrie Ms. Garrett English 12 4 Feb 16 Why Censor Religion in North Korea and China? Censorship is a hard thing to explain and why people would censor religion is just crazy. Certain countries will censor everything and not let them use the internet or talk to people outside of their country to learn about, or even hear about things going on in the world. North Korea will not let people who live there use the internet, because they do not want people who live there to find out how…

they rule over, ignoring the fact that the use of fear weakens the government. During the time of colonial America, the leaders of Salem intimidated the people of Salem into following their orders, similar to how McCarthy controlled America and how Kim Jong-Un has ruled over communist North Korea. Although critics argue that fear helps leaders govern, it actually weakens a government because leaders generate hysteria through their beliefs and actions, promote injustice, and lose sight of…

Food Aid Impact on Developing Countries Food aid has created a way for underdeveloped nations to receive the emergency aid their countries need. Nations like Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea (DPRK) can misappropriate national funds on military projects instead of developing their agricultural industry (Feffer). On the other hand, countries like Ethiopia are dependent on foreign relief and are claiming a dependency syndrome (Siyoum, Hilhorst, Uffelen). Food aid does create a…

money. The way Machiavelli runs his government reminds me of how Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump run his country. Whereas the core of belief systems are different. Like Kim Jong, Machiavelli and Donald Trump share many similarities. These men share similarities, they put power before their people. They're both greedy, evil, and care about money. Machiavelli, Kim Jong Un, and Donald Trump don't have any morals and they're all selfish. Kim Jong Un, Machiavelli, and Donald Trump all corrupt the…

Korea’s leader, Kim Yong-Il has been and is continuing to “lead” his people immorally and unjustly in many ways. North Korea has been oppressed for so long in such horrible and degrading ways that is seems like there is no hope left for these innocent suffering citizens. Fortunately, God gives his people his perfect word from which advice, examples and life lessons can be taken and applied to every situation…

this letter may not find you well. I was recently reading an article called North Korea’s military policies are irrational by Ralph Toledano, and it talks about the disagreements, and even the irrational thinking of the glorious leader Kim Jong Il. It speaks how “Even Kim Jong Il’s wildest successes can make his country no more than a thorn in the side of the east and west, a nation-sized suicide bomber.” This is disheartening to hear, because I believe we could do so much more if we could work…

so to speak, precautionary” (Orwell 212). In other words, the changing of the past and present is just there as a backup plan for if people were to start to question The party for any reason. Now in North Korea falsification is more to delineate the Kim Jong-Un’s so called good. Some examples would be North Korea faking the world cup, lying about who won past wars, and lying about the creator of certain inventions. All this work is put in to make King Jong-Un and the government seem like the…

Animal Farm In the world the media is controlled primarily by the government or someone with immense wealth. These same people can manipulate the media to say what they want. The power of manipulation can control those that do not question it. This power over the media has great power over the gullible. This power can also control people that are afraid to say anything. There are also people that know what the media are doing but are too apathetic to do anything. A great example of media…

that The Interview brings by pushing limits and not being afraid to depict Kim Jong Un in a negative way. The film even caused Seth Rogen and James Franco to come to the attention of North Korea. They even tried to get the film banned. The biggest difference is that the comedic aspect was allowed to go even further today than ever before. Today, people are more accepting of ridiculous forms of humiliation. For example, Kim Jong Un was initially depicted as this almighty dictator who was so above…
