Recommended: Present day north korean internment camps

In the documentary that we watched, it talked about North Korea and the bad conditions and strict rules there. Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, barely allows anyone to leave or enter and when they do they take almost all their things away. For example, a surgeon and his camera crew went to North Korea to do some eye surgeries and when they got there, their phones and books were taken away. It is very secluded there and everyone has to at least pretend that they worship Kim Jong Un or they could get sent to a concentration camp along with their family. Kim Jong Un is literally a God to them and they think all the good things that happen there happen because of him. When one of the camera crew people laid on the ground to take a

    For some people a sad story, yet for others a message to the people that see the movie. The Manchurian Candidate (1962) is a movie made after the time of the Cold War (1945-1952) . Indeed, there are reasons to believe that this movie is anti-communist by the fact that it presents traits of some Cold War features such as espionage and maybe proof of McCarthyism.

    The two policies of brinkmanship and Mutual Assured Destruction, or M.A.D. were utilized during the nuclear arms race of the Cold War. These at time ethical polices were used as ways to deter war and prevent nations from launching the first strike. Although the policies of brinkmanship and M.A.D could have taken a turn for the worse with one miss calculation, these policies were necessary because they were successful in maintaining the safety of both the U.S. and Soviet Union.

  • Political Analysis

    1494 Words  | 3 Pages

    Political Analysis Political analysis is the method by which the judgement upon any political event, in any part of the world, is performed. It is based on the perception of the political reality of the region or the country in question and the perception of the relationship of this political reality with international politics. In order to perceive the international situation and international politics, it is imperative to have general outlines that explain the political reality of every state and the relationships of these states with the other states of the world, especially the major powers that influence the progress of events in the world. Since the Islamic Ummah is commanded to carry the Islamic Da'wah to all people, it is therefore obligatory upon the Muslims to be in touch with the world with awareness of its conditions and perception of its problems. The Muslims must acquaint themselves with what motivates the states and the peoples and pursue the political actions that occur in the world.

  • Thirdly The Clash Of Civilizations: The Clash Of Civilizations

    1154 Words  | 3 Pages

    In addition, the leader’s death was around two decades ago, yet there are over 500 statues of him (Bristow). It is remarkable that North Korea’s life and culture are different from South Korea’s. Bristow writes about these cultural differences between the isolated North and allows the reader to compare and contrast with the developed South. It is true that status symbolizes respect and honor for their past leaders, but North Korea’s massive erection of statues – coupled with the belief that the leader is still alive today – is an uncommon idea that is rooted in an isolated and repressive country. In terms of religion, North Koreans believe in Buddhism and Confucianism, whereas South Koreans believe in Buddhism and Christianity. The differences show that both of these countries stand on the opposite sides of the religious pole. North Korea favors a religion that is widely held by the Chinese, while South Korea embodies a religion that is expressed by the West. Confucianism, at its most basic principles, includes a leader ruling over its people, whereas Christianity pushes for individuals in a society to make important decisions. While

    is definitely gaining momentum toward a totalitarian future, we are not in the state of countries like North Korea. Moreover, North Korea appears to be in a perpetual war and are in no way permitted to disobey their government. Their leader is a dictator who rules with an iron fist. Similar to the lies Big Brother told the populace of 1984 in order to keep them afraid, North Korea’s ruler understands the need for an enemy to maintain control over his country. He, like Big Brother, manipulates this power to keep his citizens under his control. Also like 1984, everything these civilians say and do is constantly monitored by this autocratic government. There seems to be very limited information on this country and consequently, there is limited access for the citizens to things outside of their country. North Korea has arguably the least amount of freedom in the world and are already living in a dystopian

  • North Korean Human Rights Violation Essay

    1940 Words  | 4 Pages

    Little is known about North Korea except for news stories concerning international terrorism, nuclear arms threats, and prison camps. From space, North Korea is shrouded in darkness like the history that surrounds this country. This is due to the nation's strict closed-country policy: not many outsiders have visited there and not many North Koreans have traveled to the outside world. While little action can be taken to help the North Korean people, action taken by the United Nations is crucial. Recently, United Nations human rights investigators issued a horrific report documenting massive human rights violations in North Korea. The United Nations feels these crimes of humanity should be brought to the International Criminal Court. UN members work to "promote and encourage respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion” (Youth For Human Rights). North Korea unlike any other country in the world cannot be reported on fully because of regulations on people entering its boundaries.

  • Pros And Cons Of A Dystopian Society

    590 Words  | 2 Pages

    In a documentary video “Inside undercover in North Korea” by Lisa Ling, the leader of North Korea, which was a dictatorship, was treated like a god. Even though they are isolated by everyone outside of the country, they believe that their leader is their savior and that without the leader with them they can't survive. When they are born they are trained to love their leader without any judgments or any concerns about it. That way North Korea are easily influenced to do what the leaders says to. Just like in the story “Harrison Bergeron”, the society is controlled by the Constitution and also by the United States Handicapper General. They believe that everyone should be equal and nobody should have any higher quality. These societies are a utopian society. These two societies are holding ideas of a perfect

  • Christopher Hitchens and His Observation on North Korea

    982 Words  | 2 Pages

    Christopher Hitchens makes a great observation about the state of North Korea today, and what he saw is just what is shown to the public. It is more than likely impossible for the west to know the way that the world works for the North Korean Proles. Totalitarian states use two methods to control the people. Propaganda, and fear. Propaganda works the best in a mostly closed system, like North Korea, because of the way they can’t see if the government is lying about the outside world. When the government says “Our neighbors have it worse, they only has one pound of rice a month” the people have no reason to doubt it, and they be happy with their two pounds. North Korea is a great example of this because the government teaches the people that all of the other countries in the surrounding are jealous of the North Korean people’s hard work and food amount. The North Korean government carefully developed a cult of personality around their leaders Kim Il-Sung, Kim Jong-Il, and currently Kim- Jong-Un. Recently there was a case of a fourteen year old girl dying in a flood trying to save a pi...

  • Nuclear Weapons are a Threat To World Peace

    2373 Words  | 5 Pages

    To understand this situation more fully, one must be given some background, starting in the early 1950s. Due to the harsh differences between the peoples of Korea, and especially due to the onset of Communism, the Korean War erupted and the nation split in half, with the Communist-supported Democratic People’s Republic in the north and those who favored democracy in the Korean Republic of the south (Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 2000). The two separate countries of North Korea and South Korea went their opposite ways, and each has experienced different fortunes in the past half-century. The South Koreans managed to recover from the turmoil of the 1950s and 1960s to become an economic power and a democracy supporter. On the other hand, North Korea can be viewed as a retro country, based first on a Communist ideology, laid down by leader Kim Il Sung and inherited by his son, the current dictator Kim Jong Il, then evolving into a totalitarian state (Pacific Rim: East Asia at the Dawn of a New Century). Today North Korea holds the distinction of being one of the very few remaining countries to be truly cut off from the rest of the world. Author Helie Lee describes this in her novel In the Absence of Sun: “An eerie fear crawled through my flesh as I stood on the Chinese side of the Yalu River, gazing across the murky water into one of the most closed-off and isolated countries in the world.” (1)
