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 it is to live in other places. Also, somethings North Korea are…

Orwell’s vision of Oceania involved almost complete control over the people with absolute compliance, which is strangely similar to the ruling system North Korea is currently using. There are many similar examples of concepts such as the Ministry of Love and thoughtcrime. In 1984, there are many examples of Big Brother using power over citizens to achieve…
