from the Chinese border (Edidin 19). However, since the separation, major societal changes have been observed in North and South Korea. When we think of North and South Korea, different images come to mind. For the North, people mostly think of Kim Jong-Un, nuclear weapons, and poverty (Lee 50). On the other hand, the world associates South Korea with technology, Korean pop music, and the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. The countries' dissimilarities make it hard to visualize a unified Korea,…

it's kind of infectious. Well, everyone except for perhaps Nicki Minaj. The recent 4th Annual Variety Show and Hilarity for Charity James Franco’s Bar Mitzvah was a star studded event. For those who don't already know, James is that guy from the Kim Jong Un movie. You know that one where they nearly got everyone killed and there was a huge Sony hacking scandal. Yeah, that one. Anyway, it was Miley Cyrus who stole the show once again, performing in front of other guests like Bruno Mars, Paul…

about” the issue with North Korea. Rational appeals allow the audience to understand how it is not logical for North Korea to get nuclear weapons and the dangers a nuclear North Korea presents. Both South Korean and American officials fear that Kim Jong-un is rapidly trying to obtain “nuclear weapons and missile capability to attack his neighbors, and also the United States.” However, with the “installation of the U.S. THAAD missile-defense system” it would be easier to “[deter] the North…

General Douglas McArthur in a speech to the joint session of Congress in April of 1951 defended his strategy for ending the conflict in Korea and uniting that country. MacArthur explained to Congress how Asian history had been one of exploitation by colonial powers. After WWII, the people of Asia finally had the opportunity to design their own future and freedom.

Authors apply the process of defamiliarization to enhance readers’ connections between the text and their lives. When writing about the apocalypse, authors discuss the aspects of human nature that persist as the world collapses, compelling readers to draw insight from the text and hopefully gain a better understanding of how to prevent the apocalypse. In Stephen King’s “The End of the Whole Mess” and Richard Kadrey’s “Still Life with Apocalypse,” both authors discuss the leadership structures…

an absolute state authority”. In other words, this is a government in which citizens living within have fewer rights and are controlled by an absolute power, and whatever the power demands goes. In some cases, the “government” can be one person (Kim Jong-Un). For example, if the government feels that workers are getting paid too much, they will use their authority to lower wages without the consent of the citizens. An efficient example of a totalitarian government is in the movie The Hunger…

Councils of Control Street sweepers like trash collectors are recognized as some of the lowest levels of work a person could pick. By being a street sweeper, one does the same routine activity every day, eliminating the opportunity for the mind to wonder. Society today labels trash collectors and other careers such as this as being career choices that people who have no where to go or have limited education would choose. In society today, these jobs pay well, but the brain is not stretched…

Kim Jong-Un of North Korea resembles Trujillo in many ways. The rape, the mass murder. He does this by maintaining absolute control over his people and making them feel as though he is at a higher level than life on earth. The rulers of our modern world vary…

“We are anonymous. We are a legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.” There’s no bomb going off, shots are not being fired, but they say they are fighting a war, daily. Anonymous, their battleground is the internet, they support human rights and freedom. Their attacks have taken down, a website like the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Corporations, foreign governments, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

A government with total control over its people is something all capitalists fear. In George Orwell’s 1984, he perfectly portrays the effects of government control in his dystopian society. Orwell’s warnings concerning government control are becoming quite evident in today’s society. In the novel 1984, the main setting is Oceana, a futuristic England.
