This article deals with the United States and its attempts to deal with the dangerous matters of North Korea. Some of the problems that were brought up in this article were North Korea’s plan to restart a plutonium based nuclear program at Yongbyon, North Korea’s plan to build a new highly enriched uranium (HEU) nuclear program, and the tension that emerged between the United States and South Korea. Even though many problems were occurring, there were some positive things that were happening at the time. The United States began negotiating with North Korea and South Korea about establishing railroad links, demining portions of the demilitarized zone, allowing athletes to compete in the Asian games, and allowing abductees to visit Japan.
The problems started occurring in January, when North Korea admits that they have been establishing a HEU program, ending any diplomatic progress. North Korea said that they would stop their program if we decided to make a pact with them. We denied this proposal because we did not want to reward them with bad behavior. In November, the United States declared that Korea broken the rules against the Agreed Framework.
There have been various theories on why North Korea had developed this highly enriched uranium program. One of the theories is that they were afraid that the United States was going to attack them, the same way we attacked Iraq. They figured that if we attacked Iraq, an is...
For nearly a century before World War II, Korea had been ruled by the Japanese or the Chinese. When Japan’s empire has fallen after the war, the Soviet Union and the United States occupied Korea, The Soviet Union occupied the northern half of Korea and installed a communist government. Meanwhile the United States occupied the southern part of 38th parallel (an invisible line that divides Korea into almost equal halves). While the Soviet Union wanted all Korean to be united under single communist government, the Americans wanted free election for the south. By 1950, Kim IL Sung, leader of North Korean, had laid claim to the entire country and desired to invade South Korea. However The Soviet Union did not want to clash directly with the United States. Instead they supported and supplied North Korea with weapons and armories to have them fight for the Union in a “proxy war”. The United Nations decided to respond to the North Korean invasion. Led by the United States, the UN Security Council invited 21 UN members to send troops to Korea under the command of General Douglas MacArthur to restore the southern part of Korea.
It’s always fun to go with your friends and family to see cute and exotic animals when you go to the zoo, right? You may think that they have the best life having people to give them things that want and to protect them, but some of them are actually suffering just for our amusement from being in that small enclosure all day and all night. Animals should not be put in zoos because they can develop many mental and physical health problems due to the absence of some natural necessities and they are not always treated as nice as you think.
Keeping animals locked in cages, bored and cramped up in such a small space is an awful sight to show the children. It creates an image in the little minds of children that animals are to be treated like they don’t matter. They say Zoos are a place where children can learn about the wild, exotic animals, but in reality it doesn't teach them anything only that they are meant to be caged up, which is wrong. Also, it is really painful to see the animals bored and lonely, so why should people keep letting them do this to these beautiful creatures. Animal captivity for entertainment should end to let them go to their rightful home.
This conflict began developing in 1994 when North Korea announced its intentions to withdraw from the NPT. This led to the US and North Korea signing the Agreed Framework. Under this agreement, North Korea agreed to stop its illicit plutonium production in exchange for increased aid from the United States. While this agreement broke down in 2002, the Six-Party Talks restarted the efforts to stop North Korea from gaining nuclear weapons, involving the aforementioned North Korean, South Korea, Japan, China, Russia, and the United States. This le...
Zoos are very inhumane, because the animals are put to their misery inside of their cages Lions and tigers have around 18,000 times less space in a zoo and Polar bears have one million times less space when living in a zoo.
There have been cases of animals being poisoned in the zoos because of the unsanitary foods. Seventy-three animals have died from food poisoning at the Sao Paulo Zoo there is still investigation trying to find out who had caused this horrible incident ( Paulo 1). This is just an example of how zoos are not as safe and sanctuary as many people have thought they would be. Some animals have suffered through starvation at zoos from the workers not feeding the animals properly. An example of this occurred at the Toledo Zoo where a bear had starved to death because the worked had not fed her thinking she was in hibernation (1). Other animals have been deprived of veterinary care and pain some poor roadside soon animals are forced to live in horrible and dangerous conditions. Orcas or otherwise commonly known as killer whales have contracted diseases to their mouths in the zoo from chewing and biting on the bars that provide a separation from the other underwater animals. In some cases, zoo animals have died from natural disasters occurring in the area, such as fires and hurricanes. Because there is no way out from the cages that surround the animals they are trapped there and cannot escape. Marsupials and young animals are prone to diseases if exposed to infected birds and unsanitary environments at the zoo.
In 2005, a comment was made by the Six Party Talks in which North Korea decided to abandon its nuclear weapons program, accept IAEA inspections, and rejoin the Non Proliferation Treaty while maintaining the right to peaceful nuclear energy (2). The other countries decided to provide energy assistance and discuss giving North Korea light water reactors. In July 2006, the development was stopped when North Korea was irritated by the U.S. targeting its financial assets and pace of the light water reactor project (2). In October 2006, North Korea performed its first nuclear test and the U.S. answered by requiring North Korea to end testing its nuclear weapons and to abandon its missile program. A spokesperson from North Korea’s government stated that the test was “entirely attributable to United States threats, sanctions and pressure.” (2). The spokesperson also accused the Bush administration of replying to North Korea’s “patient and sincere efforts with sanctions and blockades” (2). In July 2007, North Korea closed its nuclear facilities at Yongbyon in return for fuel oil and separation from the U.S list of state sponsors of terrorism
There have been lots of tension between the U.S. and North Korea. The main cause of this tension is because of the 2 decade-long standoff on North Korea’s Nuclear program. The U.S. has been having a tough time settling this issue. As these tensions increase, the U.S is trying to get other allies to help solve this issue.
North Korea has many launchers and nuclear weapons to test. North Korea is thought to have about 200 launchers that can fire missiles with short and medium-sized ranges, according to ABC News. Experts also believe it has up to 60 nuclear weapons. The New York Editorial Board claims that North Korea is basically “begging for war" (5) Although they may not be worried, they should be when dealing with America. Many people see these actions as threats and therefore may possibly respond back similarly. America possibly might see this a
The history of North Korea. North Korea has been more on the fence with us since trump got into office. Choe Sang-Hun mentions “North Korea conducted a series of nuclear and ballistic-missile tests since 2006” (Sang-Hun). This means they have been doing this for a will. “Effort to develop a small, and sophisticated nuclear warheads,” Choe Sang-Hun states (Sang-Hun). They want to make a small, but tough warhead for a long time. We have dealt with them before in war, and if it comes down to that again, so be it.
Since its origin in 1948, North Korea has been isolated and heavily armed, with hostile relations with South Korea and Western countries. It has developed a capability to produce short- and medium-range missiles, chemical weapons, and possibly biological and nuclear weapons. In December 2002, Pyongyang lifted the freeze on its plutonium-based nuclear weapons program and expelled IAEA inspectors who had been monitoring the freeze under the Agreed Framework of October 1994. As the Bush administration was arguing its case at the United Nations for disarming Iraq, the world has been hit with alarming news of a more menacing threat: North Korea has an advanced nuclear weapons program that, U.S. officials believe, has already produced one or two nuclear bombs. As the most recent standoff with North Korea over nuclear missile-testing approaches the decompression point, the United States needs to own up to a central truth: The region of Northeast Asia will never be fully secure until the communist dictatorship of North Korea passes from the scene. After threatening to test a new, long-range missile, Pyongyang says it is willing to negotiate with "the hostile nations" opposing it. But whether the North will actually forgo its test launch is anyone's guess. North Korea first became embroiled with nuclear politics during the Korean War. Although nuclear weapons were never used in Korea, American political leaders and military commanders threatened to use nuclear weapons to end the Korean War on terms favorable to the United States. In 1958, the United States deployed nuclear weapons to South Korea for the first time, and the weapons remained there until President George Bush ordered their withdrawal in 1991. North Korean government stateme...
Throughout the global media North Korea’s isolation and Harsh rule has become increasingly secretive, although some facts have been detected (“North Korea Profile”, 1). According to data collected from The Guardian, eighty-one out of one-hundred people in South Korea have access to the internet, yet in North Korea around .1 out of one-hundred people have access to the internet . Not only is the greater population of North Korea disconnected from outside sources, yet leaders in North Korea are also isolated from outside sources; putting themselves at a disadvantage. North Korea may launch a war, but they are unaware as to what they are up against because of its secrecy . Around one million are serving in the North Korean Army, but when South Korea’s army; combined with the U.S’s army (their ally), the ratio of the North Korean Army is signi...
Relations between the United States and North Korea have been unstable since the second world war and with each passing decade the relations have become more tense. The U.S has never have formal international relations with North Korea , however the conflict has caused much controversy in U.S foreign policy. North Korea has been the receiver of millions of dollars in U.S aid and the target of many U.S sanctions. This is due to the fact that North Korea is one of the most oppressive regimes on the planet, that uses unjust techniques such as murder, torture, and starvation to get their citizens to be obedient. They restrict contact from their citizens to the outside world, through censorship of technology and rarely allowing visitors to the country. The root of the US-North Korea conflict however ,has been on the basis of nuclear weapons and North Korea threatening to use those weapons against the U.S and neighboring South Korea. The U.S and other nations have been working for the last few decades to stop the regime from purchasing and utilizing destructive nuclear weapons.
Even though some zoos have an endangered species exhibit with the intention of protecting and rehabilitating animals, many do not do an adequate job of protecting the animals. Zoos have been harmful to the very animals they have sworn to protect. Animals in captivity often suffer from anxiety, boredom and other severe issue related to prolonged confinement. Most animals are unable to thrive in small enclosure with unnatural weather and climates. For example elephants are known to walk as far as 30 miles per day, but the association of Zoos and aquariums only require a space the measures $0 feet by 45 feet, which is about the size of a three car garage, to house these large animals. (peta.org) the drastic difference in the amount of space their allowed ...
Supporters of zoos argue that they help to conserve endangered species, but in fact they are not very good at this. Even the world famous panda-breeding programme has been very costly and unsuccessful. Also, zoo life does not prepare animals for the challenges of life in the wild. For example, two rare lynxes released into the wild in Colorado died from starvation even though the area was full of hares, which are a lynx’s natural prey.
