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…
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…
In North Korea they worship one or two people ( currently Kim Jong-Un). The current leader is treated as a God, and made out to be great by constant propaganda. The documentary “Inside Undercover In North Korea” showed how all around the country there were large statues, pictures, etc all of the leader where people…
Frank Darabont’s film, The Green Mile, shows great examples of compassion and empathy, being corrupted by power, and how the death penalty can have many negative affects on the people performing it and those related to the sentenced individual. This movie’s topics are very relatable to every person’s opinions, and are still very relevant to this day and age. This is why the movie is still very popular amongst people, because there are still to this day arguments whether or not the death penalty…
“Good evening! This is James Bunn with the latest news across the world. From Donald Trump’s Travel Ban to the importance of the 1965 Voting Act, we have a lot to go over.” “First, the Travel Ban. This conveserial bill was created by the newly elect Donald Trump to prevent terrorist and illegal immigrants from coming into our country. He argues that by preventing these certain Middle Eastern countries from traveling to America, he is preventing terrorism from reaching the shores of America. Our…
The government is currently tracking our movements through surveillance and using modern technology to profile and record citizens. Our bureaucracy is using technology such as CCTV’s(closed circuit television) to track our behavior in real life and manipulating social media in order to to track our movements on the internet. This constant surveying is similar to the paranoid world of 1984. Author George Orwell expressed his worry for what the world will become in his classic novel, 1984. In the…
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 holy grail of all. Another main ideal of both societies is the effect war on the citizens. Winston also…
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…
girl named Liesel Meminger loses her brother and is given away to foster parents called hans and rosa. This story is set in World War One and shows how easily people can be manipulated by one supreme leader. To me this sounds just like North Korea's Kim Jong Un who, like Hitler has used his power to take over the minds of people to make them think…
2016 How did each ruler of the Kim Dynasty come to power? North Korea has been under a dictatorship where even the most loved soldier can be executed. North Korea is in an systematic tyranny. A tyranny is usually thought of as cruel and oppressive, and it often is, but the original definition of the term was rule by persons who lack legitimacy, whether they be malign or benevolent. The Kim Dynasty has been ruling North Korea since 1948. How does the Kim Dynasty and their systematic…
