North Korea and Denuclearization North Korea has flirted with the idea of denuclearization in the past, but the issue has been brought back up recently. From 1985, they have made many deals to stop the production and tests of nuclear weapons, but they have either violated them or asked for ridiculous amounts of assistance. (“This isn’t the first time pyongyang has flirted with denuclearization,” Joe Sterling, March 9th 2018 CNN.) Today they are making steps towards connecting back with the…

Everyone has their own opinions and views towards the Vietnam War; some positive and some negative, it all depends on your outlook on the reasons behind it all. My opinion is to be against the Vietnam war for numerous reasons, people did not see the clear place of the United States in this war. The United States entered into the Vietnam war to help fight the spread of communism. France had backed out of the fight and if no one came to their aid, then communism would take over Vietnam; and with…

The United States had a great fear for communism during the time of El Salvador’s civil war. Ronald Reagan said this in regard to why the United States decided to support the government of El Salvador "to halt the infiltration into the Americas, by terrorists and by outside interference, and those who aren't just aiming at El Salvador but, I think, are aiming at the whole of Central and possibly later South America and, I'm sure, eventually North America."(Blum). Keep in mind the Soviet Union…

The Vietnam war was fought for roughly twenty years. It began on November 1st, 1955 and ended on April 30th, 1975. The cause of the war was because America was afraid that communism was spreading throughout South-east Asia. The Vietnam war is looked upon as being one of the most unpopular wars in America’s history, more than three million people died in total (Williams). The Vietnam war is an unforgettable war that the United States fought in. There were many deaths including innocent civilians.…

The Vietnam War was a conflict based on issues that were economic, cultural, political, and territorial based. The reason why I chose the Vietnam War is that it is shows a conflict that isn’t only on one specific issue, but it involves several and the conflict was a long, tragic war where there were many lives were lost. It is explained in the Vietnam Postscript in the Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia that the conflict mainly took place in South Vietnam. The conflict continued between North…

North Korea’s constitution highlights freedom of religion, freedom of expression and democratic voting. Unfortunately, for the country’s citizens; this is far from the truth. The country claims to run under the “Juche” ideology, or rejecting dependence on others using one’s own mind, and believing in one’s own strength. Due to this ideology, roughly 12 million people live in extreme poverty and do not have access to basic human needs. This paper will discuss North Korea’s culture, terrain,…

It’s late at night; I received a phone call saying it was blocked. I answered the phone call, noticing that I'm home alone, after a long nap. I said “This dude is a loser always prank calling random people.” The person with a deep voice said “he was in front of my house” and it was a rainy day. He was a tall man with an object in his hand looking like a knife, so I started panicking. I called my brother but he was at the movies with his friends. The man started knocking on the door, but when I…

Although North Korea shares its border with South Korea on the Korean peninsula, the two countries could not be anymore polar opposite. Originally one united country, the separation of the two states along the 38th parallel due to the aftermath of World War II explains the different ideologies that came to found each country. It can be argued that North Korea is one of the world’s most secluded countries. Even in the present day, North Korea has an isolationist stance with the rest of the world…

The Korean Society has developed over the years to become very successful. Korea has made both cultural and technological advancements in the past years. But how could a vast peninsula, with very minimal resources become so successful? Did they have an influence? Were they guided by someone? Research suggests that Korea's success is related to China's rule over Korea and the influence China had on Korea after Korea’s independence. Until 926, China had ruled Korea. When Korea declared…

Ring! Ring! This is the phone call that you have been waiting for almost a week. You answer the phone so hesitantly “Hello?” the voice on the other line responds “Hello ma’am, we have gotten the results for Jimmy’s blood test. Can you come into the office so we can talk over the results?” in that moment you feel like your whole world is crashing down. You know that if the results were negative that they would have told you over the phone, so that means your worst fear is no longer a fear. It’s a…
