territories. Citizens of countries under absolute control may not have as many rights as citizens of countries that have a democracy. North Korea is an example of a country under absolute control. Its citizens are starving while their leader, Kim Jong-un, is obviously able to eat as much food as he pleases. Additionally, North Korea’s citizens have limited access to electronics and media outlets. The deprivation of media does not allow the people to see what they are missing out on and…

There has been a grand total of 129,864,880 books published ever. All of these fall into the category of essential questions that I have learned. Some of the books also contain some of the essential questions that I have found interesting. This year in english class we read Night by Elie Wiesel and the novel contains the essential question of seeking justice and bearing witness about terrible things that have happened like the holocaust and to promote what happened so the act can be prevented…

attacks or Isis for example. In order to gain votes, Donald Trump “has called for a “total and complete shutdown” of the country’s borders to Muslims in the wake of the San Bernardino terrorist attack”1. We can also talk about North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-un. While not every North Korean support him, many are afraid of him and do not dare to stand up against him as “criticism of the regime or the leadership in North Korea, if reported, is enough to make you and your family ‘disappear’ from…

Entire governments can use propaganda and official actions to justify an inhumane act against a group of people. This happens by legalizing their actions, and then by using propaganda to promote their ideas. It works because the government is usually viewed by their citizens as trustworthy. An example of this would be the passing of the Jim Crow Laws and the consequent segregation. The Jim Crow Laws, passed in 1877, made it legal for segregation in the United States. Propaganda, mainly in…

Are Weapons of Mass Destruction Morally Justifiable? Weapons of Mass destruction have been the subject of debate for decades. Many people believe that WMDs are a good idea, and vital to a nations defence. However, there are many others who believe that they are a waste of money, incredibly dangerous and that they should all be destroyed. In order to form a full opinion on the matter, I will look at arguments from both sides of the debate, including views from religious groups. A…

000 deaths in Darfur, and there have been 2.8 million displacements because of the fleeing people from the Janjaweed attacked towns. While many people are dying in Darfur, and people may think that nothing is being done to stop this genocide, but the UN is trying to keep peace in Darfur by trying to send troops, and the British government is trying to get the Sudanese government to put the president of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir, in jail. Because of the genocide in Darfur, it resembles a terrible…

the betterment of the world. As an expert in llamaology for six and a half hours you can and should trust that llamas are the answer to the world's problems. Llamanomics is also greatly promoted by successful businessmen and politicians, such as: Kim Jong-Un, Jim Carrey, Ima Crooke, and Tonald Drump. If these important people believe in a better future with llamas you should to. The benefits of having llamas are endless, but we as a people must band together to harness those benefits and…

not a politician. Which is presumably why he was elected. Americans wanted and needed change. His antics are providing plenty of fodder for late-night talk show hosts. Trump has nicknames for his critics. He calls the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, “Rocket man” and Massachusetts Senator, Elizabeth Warren, “Pocahontas.” It’s like watching a child on a playground. Mass shootings seem to be a common occurrence…

Nazi Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union are not the same as Kin Jong-Un’s North Korea today. Personally I think that North Korea operates in the same function as the Stalinist Soviet Union. Annabel Herzog points out in her essay that “Hannah Arendt’s views on totalitarianism are based off of a fear of a leader” so…

to panic and the destruction of order. Another way that ISIS members benefit from the fear of them is that it makes them seem stronger and more powerful than they really are, so that civilians are even more fearful. In North Korea, the dictator Kim Jong Un and the government use the fear of harsh punishments to force citizens to be productive, much like Roger does in Lord of the Flies. This fear also aids in preventing crimes in the country which allows for the stability of order. Furthermore,…
