    Then, the author compares Lee’s personal anecdote and the new Koryolink 3G network to show that “North Korea is trying to catch up.” The tremendous difference between Lee’s experience in 2008 when North Korean security officers confiscated her iPhone at the airport, and the new North Korean 3G network and policy which allows foreigners to bring their cellphones to the country, shows the significant fact that there are now more openness in North Korea.…

    The heart breaking punishment and imprisonment that people in the North Korean prison camps are suffering is the most inhumane thing we have seen since Hitler tried to annihilate the entire Jewish race. Also, this is similar to when the white race tried whipping every last breathe out of the African American population during slavery in the antebellum South. Camp 14, as well as all prison camps, must be stopped for good as it is very similar to slavery in the antebellum South that happened long ago.…

    Korea lies in the eastern part of Asia. This peninsula is divided into two countries: North Korea and South Korea. Although there is a division of landscape, government, and culture, the bulk of people in Korea consider themselves a part of the Korean nation. Regardless of that, the countries do have their differences. The entire peninsula is cut off from Northeast China by rugged mountains and sizable rivers (Rowntree 365). The north suffers from heavy deforestation, however it has more natural resources. The south has made extensive reforestation efforts post WWII and so they have more greenery. In terms of culture, there are more intense differences. In the South, k-pop and Korean drams have gone global. The culture has appealed to people worldwide. Meanwhile, North Korea remains somewhat in isolation. What’s more, North Koreans attempt to flee into Northeast China, quite often. Yet no one flees South Korea. This shows that there are different cultures and levels of comfort in each…

    In North Korea there are many things that the people have to go through being under the dictatorship of Kim Jong Un. Un is a very powerful man that many people fear, he doesn't treat his people well. In north korea tvs are put in your house and can't be turned off, there is no social media or tv that isn't ran by the government.

    Many people don’t realize how lucky we, as Americans are to live in such a great country. We have the right to vote, hold office and even to protect ourselves. Many would call these rights necessities, but in some countries they aren’t as fortunate enough to have these liberties and have a Republic system of government. Throughout history, there have been multiple countries that have ruled with the totalitarian style of government. Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany and Facist Spain could all prove this with their passed methods of censoring the public and intruding on their everyday lives. Even now, in North Korea, the country’s people barely have minds of their own. Since reforms placed by Kim Il-Sung and the late Kim Jong Il, citizens have the lowest ranking in rights of any country ever. The North Korean Government has censored news, blocked access to YouTube, Google or any type of social media websites and no one is permitted to leave or come into the country. A government like this is scary to think about, but far worse have been predicted in the past through literature. The power of a totalitarian government is truly displayed through 1984 by George Orwell where the theme of showing full governmental control by using whatever means necessary to convert an anarchists mind and exposing one’s fears as an advantage of power.…

    The Aquariums of Pyongyang

    • 1545 Words
    • 7 Pages

    A term has been coined to describe the regime in North Korea is ubuesque. The word means grotesque and bloody. If The Aquariums of Pyongyang is anything to go by, the word is well-coined. What is more grotesque and bloody than making concent-ration camp detainees,some as young as 15, watch and participate in frequent executions? Or young children being brutalized by “teachers” in what passes for “school” at the camp. Or children dying in accidental cave-ins as they’re forced to work without protective gear in underground mines. And when you realize that these children are sent to the camps with their parents and other family members, none of whom had committed any real crime, your outrage is extended. Most of these children do not survive because of malnutrition, brutality, and exposure to the extreme winters but, those who miraculously survive transform into savages, quick to steal any bit of food from the guards to supplement their near-starvation rations or trap a rat to add some protein to their diet. Chol-hwan Kang's memoir of his childhood in North Korea is riveting, heartbreaking, and one of those books that one must read in order to understand well the unknown prisons that continue to creep in the worlds society.…

    When the Korean War started, North Korea got supported by the Soviet Union and the Republic of China. South Korea was supported by the United States, Great Britain, the United Nations , and lastly the Japanese. The reason why the Soviets got involved was because part of the land was controlled by them prior to the war. The United States also went into the war because they did not want to be seen as supporting communism. The United Nations got involved to stop the conflict of Korea.…

    Politicians declared that we would never let concentration camps like that of Hitler’s in Nazi happen again. However, North Korea has concentration camps in the modern era. But North Korean concentration camps have lasted longer than Nazi concentration camps. No country takes action or helps North Korean political prisoners. North Korea commits crimes against humanity. There are 150,000 to 200,000 North Koreans in concentration camps. These Koreans are in death camps for minor crimes and most of the time for actions not even considered crimes in other countries such as criticizing the government, watching soap operas, trying to find food to sustain their families, crossing the border to China, or for having family members who were suspect to…

    A: Readers need to understand what these people are going through in North Korea. These camps have been going on twice as long as Stalin’s gulags or the Nazi concentration camps. I understand that this was a very challenging story for him to tell. All my job was, was to be precise and provide context on the issue in North Korea and the improbability of Shin’s story. I tackled many obstacles, such as Shin lying about many of his involvement in the camps, such as with his mother’s execution.…

    North Koreans have to face harsh punishment such as a public execution. In the declaration of human rights, it states “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” (Article 5). We need to contribute this right for the North Koreans and much more. Another big change that should be made is their say in government. For the Americans, they can vote almost all their government officials. “Everyone has the right to take part in the Government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives.” (Article 21). For the North Koreans, they do not even have a say in who their president is.…

    Korea was split in two along the 38th parallel by the two superpowers after Korea became an independent country at the end of world war 2. When communist north Korea crossed the 38th parallel invading democratic South Korea, the Koran War arose. After three years of constant fire, and not much progress of total control over both countries, the war came to an end. Even though there was no winner in the battle between communism and democracy, the United states was able to restore south Korea back to its democratic state. Americas approach on the Korean war could be seen as ineffectual, since the US was not able to extinguish communistic infiltration, and ended up in the same place where they…

    Human Rights are characterized differently for every person. However, to the majority of the world, the rights are essential to all human beings. Predominantly, countries do follow this unspoken law about human rights, but there are still countries that do not acknowledge human rights. North Korea is known as a country that is not fair in the way they treat their citizens. The international community need to put an end to these abuses by cutting off humanitarian aid or relocating North Koreans’ people. Human rights abuses are inhumane and need to be put to an end because it is not allowing people to live the life they deserve.…

    The occupation of the Soviets influenced the North Korean government to turn into a communist government. In addition, the assistance of Chinese troops during the war and their presence in the country until 1958 gave China some degree of influence in North Korea. In 1961, North Korea concluded formal mutual security treaties with the Soviet Union and China, which have not been formally ended. In the 1950s, after the Soviets had pulled out, the newly created communist dictatorship of North Korea invaded the southern half trying to turn it communist as well. The Unites States saw this as a threat to world democracy and assisted South Korea, starting this seemingly eternal war. North Korea's nuclear research program started with Soviet help in the 1960s, on condition that it joined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). In the past years North Korea has threatened to launch nuclear weapons to neighboring countries such as Japan and South Korea. Recent tests indicate that the regime’s nuclear capabilities are improving, and they may be only a few years away from developing a weapon that can hit the continental U.S. Such an aspiration is not that far-fetched, given the regime’s recent statement and propaganda that advertises this goal with images of their nukes hitting Capitol Hill. With the amount of…
