How Did Kim Jong-Un Make The World Wrong
Supreme leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Kim Jung-un, thirty-three, has been ruling for six years behind Kim Jong-Il, his father, who was in power for almost a decade. Kim Jong-un has been in a feud with President Donald Trump for almost nine months now, but Kim Jong-un was not always this atrocious. Despite the fact, Kim Jong-un is doing awful things in the world, does not mean he grew up lousy. He, actually, grew up quite normal. Although he claims to be of his people, great and powerful, he has also done the world wrong.
Born on January 8, 1984, to Ko Young-hee, mother, and Kim Jong-Il, father, Kim Jong-un's information about his siblings were unclear because many resources had different information. Kim Jong-un went to a boarding school in Switzerland, but he used a fake name. The fake name Kim Jong-un was known by was "Chol-Pak." He had a older student chaperone him, but other kids just assumed it was his body guard. Similar to all kids, Chol-Pak enjoyed computer games, and he would spend hours drawing Chicago Bulls Superstar Michael Jordan. Chol-Pak was a diabetic and also suffered from high blood pressure (HBP). Jong-un was labeled shy in school, but he was also a good student who adored basketball and was found humorous. In the mid-2000's, he attended the Kim Il-sung Military University, which

He killed two of his family members, and he still does not feel any guilt or pain. Kim Jong-un grew up normal, but the man is trying to protect his family, and he feels threatened by the U.S. because Donald Trump labeled North Korea as the biggest threat to the U.S. President Trump demanded for a de-nuclearization, and if they didn’t, there would be a possible military strike. Jong-un felt bombarded and fired a missile which ended up failing. After having tons of backfires, he warns Trump saying a nuclear war could break out at any

Countries such as North Korea and Cuba, both under communist rule, are both well-known examples of countries that are being destroyed due to an overpowering force. With overpowering leaders, a country’s ability to grow and expand. “An overpowering leader does not encourage solitude. They do believe in allowing those they lead to have time to themselves. They fail to understand that many times the creative mind works best in solitude” (7 Reasons). For as James Madison once said, “If men were angels, no government would me necessary.” According to James Madison, he believes that if a leader actually possessed the true qualities of a leader, and if the people of the country acted in accordance, then a country would not go down in shambles. As people gain more and more power and control, they sometimes begin to abuse their power. Kim Jong Un received his leadership power from his father after he had passed away in 2011. After his father’s death and taking power, Kim Jong Un continued to test nuclear weapons. In February of 2012, Kim Jong Un had promised to cease their testing of nuclear weapons and long range missiles. However, in April of 2012, Kim Jong Un had approved the launch of a satellite, which failed. Kim Jong Un, following in his fathers footsteps, continued these tests, despite…

Trujillo is having everyone killed” (Alvarez 78).

    Kim was also amazed at the differences in Korean schools and those in America. In Korea, she describes school as being quiet and respectful, using examples of bowing to teachers and wearing slippers to avoid making marks on the flooring. In one particular example she talks of youngsters kissing in the classroom while the teacher calls out attendance, something that surely didn’t happen in Korea. A hard dose of reality soon came to Kim when she realized just how much of her life was going to have to change. Her mother, who was considered an elite citizen of…

    North Korea’s human rights are all out of order with a ruthless dictator in charge.

    In “Crimes Against Humanity: unpacking the North Korean human rights debate”, published online on Critical Asian Studies on 19 February 2014, Hazel Smith provides a clear overview of the North Korean human rights discourse’s perspectives. Particularly, the author attempted to shine a light on the discriminatory use of the statistical indicators that UN humanitarian and development agencies have been issuing since the mid-1990s on North Korea. According to Smith, inconsistency and misinterpretation are mostly due to a securitization perspective through which knowledge about DPRK is filtered, rather than to a mere conscious bias (Smith, 2014, 127).…

    In September 1992, Chris McCandless was found in an abandoned bus in Alaska. Into the Wild is his story. But what is his story supposed to teach us? McCandless's journey into the wilderness is ultimately one of self-discovery and reinvention. Through his travels, he transforms from an angry, recent graduate, eager to break all ties with his family, into a wanderer and amateur mountaineer. But, in the end he dies of starvation. While Krakauer says that a "raw, transcendent experience" is almost impossible to reach, he does acknowledge that there is some appeal in discovering one's self along the brink of death and danger (Chronicling). But, he suggests…

The North is said to have done it to back up the claim they were going to destroy speakers that were broadcasting anti-Pyongyang messages. A similar event happened in 2010 when the North attacked a live fire-drill the south were conducting which killed four people. The South has also had mines explode that injured two of their soldiers where one lost both legs and the other lost a leg. Since there is no official peace treaty both countries are still technically at war. The US stations over 28,000 troops in the South in case the North and their leader were to decide to invade the South…

    Alex complies because after the conditioning he has undergone, fighting back would make him too horribly ill. This is the “grotesque act of self-abasement” that the prison chaplain refers to. Then a near-naked woman comes out and tries to seduce Alex, but he turns away in illness at the thought of sex. While these displays impress most of the audience members, the prison chaplain voices dissent using traditional religious rhetoric. He holds up religious values of good and evil and the importance of moral choice in opposition to the value of ultimate state control. His statement echoes the traditional belief that what makes people different from animals is their ability to make moral choices. Evolutionary science maintains that self-interest…
