How Does Kim Jong Un Influence North Korean Society
North Korea deceives their own people through feeding people fake information as little kids. The civilians in North Korea live in an alternative society, a section in which people adopt a lifestyle different from the norm. Consequently, Kim Jong Un alters history to deceive his people into believing their life is great in order to not only control people, but also their thoughts. In the dystopian country, the society is under rule of the tyrant: Kim Jong Un. The commander in chief teaches kids to love him when they are just little babies. He changes textbooks and credits all great things that happened in his society to himself. In addition, he alters history and “kids in North Korea are brainwashed and made to think a certain way so they
act without question or doubt.” (The Hermit Kingdom.) From a little baby, we are wired in a certain way. We are taught information that we can’t go against because we don’t know any better. Moreover, The government is deceiving it's people with these continuous lies. Because the people in North Korea have no other way to expose these lies, they have no choice but to believe it in it's total truth. The government is achieving their desire to attain total control. Back in 2012, when the Harlem Globetrotters went to visit North Korea, a false picture was painted. The basketball players hopped off the plain and as soon as they stepped onto North Korean soil, “it felt normal. The country was at peace, there was enough food, not dense with people, with a lot of smiling faces.” (The Hermit Kingdom.) Supermarkets were stocked with American food and the only ones allowed in, was the Americans. After, the Globetrotters went inside a suit shop, but were told they would not be able to buy anything. Furthermore, Kim Jong Un doesn’t want outsiders or even his own people understanding what really happens behind the scenes in his country. He is doing this by manipulating media, textbooks, schools and ultimately brainwashing babies into thinking in a certain way. This type of manipulation lets leaders reach their own dreams by deceiving big groups of people and hiding the truth from them. Sadly, his people have no way of telling what's real and what's not. Kim Jong Un’s power leads to a lack of integrity and justice.
