Argumentative Essay On North Korea

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be governed by a dictatorship? What laws do the citizens of a dictatorship have to follow? Who is the dictator, and what is he/she’s responsibilities? Where else in the world is dictatorship being practiced? A dictatorship is a government ruled by a dictator that grants citizens limited rights and is practiced by many countries. Today, North Korea is the most widely-discussed county that is governed by a dictatorship.

The United States has a complex government that builds on democracy whereas North Korea has communism centered on totalitarian rule. Both had their conflicts during the past and still are struggling in the future. Even though their government has two different sides to tell about they too have some similarities. One country having majority rule and the other having "political authority [whom] exercises absolute and centralized control over all aspects of life" (definition: totalitarianism at dictionary.com). Going through the growth of their economy, the citizens are opening their eyes each and every day to a government that has different branches with their checks and balances, exposure to several political parties, having their civil

Kim Jongun, has mentioned before that he wants the world to look up to his strong country as a nuclear power, rather than just a mere country with multiple sanctions shouting big words. This in the past has led to various consequences from hegemonies all around the world who feel threatened by the implications of a young tyrant in charge of ICBMs. This is a clear example of the security dilemma in which the entire world, the anarchy that it is, has to control minor nations that strive for hegemony at the expense of the larger nations’ security and loss of leverage. Unfortunately, it seems that despite the clear warnings from the superior nations, the North Korean dictator has no interest in abiding by international rules and is far more fascinated with realist ideologies of projections of power.

The conflict I am focusing on is the conflict between North Korea and the USA.

The rising tension over the sinking of a South Korean ship reached to a serious conflict between South Korean and North Korea. South Korean is accusing North Korean for firing the torpedo on purpose which resulted in 46 sailors deaths. According to Yonhap news, North Korean military official accused the South of intruding into North Korean waters in the Yellow Sea. North Korea sends a warning message to South Korea by firing torpedo to warn South Korea to not intrude in to their waters in Yellow Sea. North Korea doesn’t want to admit to their mistake; instead they are threatening to retaliate with military actions if South Korea won’t stop with accusations.

The U.S. helped to divide the Korean peninsula at the end of World War II, and then waged war against North Korea in the 1950s. Although the U.S. signed a peace agreement rather than a peace treaty with North Korea after the war, its policy toward the country changed. Instead of trying to overthrow the North Korea government, the U.S. government adopted a policy of containing communism. During the 1980’s, associations between North Korea and the U.S. start to take on a new diplomatic form. North Korea’s nuclear weapons program had become a pressing international issue

Since its creation after the Korean War in 1950, North Korea, also known as the Democratic People Republic of Korea (DPRK), has caused many problems for the United States. North Korea has, for instance, broken treaties and even gone so far as to threaten the use of nuclear weapons. Naturally, different presidents have dealt with North Korea in different ways. Take Eisenhower for example, he actually threatened the use of nuclear weapons against North Korea in 1953 (obviously before North Korea had nuclear capabilities). Many presidents ignored North Korea all together, and some tried to ignore the country, but circumstances did not allow

The United States’s nuclear umbrella should not be withdrawn from foreign countries because of the risk of more nuclear weapon development. The United States can not keep world peace by dominating every country's decision on WMDs but the ones that are under nuclear umbrella protection can be prevented from creating more. A favorable reason the United States should be allowed to intervene is the country of North Korea. The North Koreans are not afraid of the U.S and their policies, indicated by North Korea's actions of nuclear missile tests. Republican candidate Donald Trump, has expressed his extreme dislike for nuclear weapons throughout multiple interviews. Trump said that the world's enemy is not global warm, but nuclear

Getting China to pressure North Korea to change its behavior is the only logical strategy for the United States and its allies. Unfortunately, through its strategic incoherence, general incompetence, poor decisions and dangerous bombast, the Trump administration has weakened most of America's alliances, undermined US credibility, and significantly empowered its adversaries. In spite of the recent UN sanctions, the Trump

The possibility of a nuclear war is higher now than any time since the fall of the Soviet Union, with a rogue state with an unpredictable leader controlling a nuclear and conventional arsenal that can devastate huge cities like Seoul, Tokyo, or even Los Angeles. Despite this threat from North Korea, the UN Security Council has been unable to do anything about it except sanctions which have been shown to not affect the nuclear ambitions of Kim Jong-Un. While the United States and its allies in the Security Council such as Britain and France are willing to impose very harsh measures to prevent North Korea from becoming a nuclear state; China, which is North Korea’s largest trade partner, has placed other interests ahead of NATO’s. China does

Since January, North Korea has conducted ten missile tests, including a missile that is said to be able to carry a nuclear warhead. President Trump claims that he will not stand down to North Korea and will do what needs to be done in order to protect the United States. It is clear that nuclear warfare is a potential reality in the near future considering the development and success of nuclear weapons worldwide. It is impossible to protect the environment from the effects of nuclear weapons. Intense radiation, destruction of plants and animals, and nuclear winter are all major concerns and the potential effects from nuclear fallout must be thought through before using weapons of mass destruction to end world

Members of the United Nations Security Council strongly condemned North Korea's successful launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile during an emergency meeting in New York on Wednesday, during which US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said the rogue regime's actions have brought the world "closer to war."

Ever since the triumph of the Korean table tennis team in 1991, there has been no recorded co-existence between both Korean governments. It seems that in the race for the race of independence, we have failed to evaluate our stand in the international community as a well-developed country. However, we have not always been two different countries looking back at history. Today, I stand before you not as President of the Republic of Korea but as an ambassador for the Winter Olympic Games 2018. The Olympic Committee should be for the proposal on North Korea with South Korea Hockey Women's Team because we stand a great chance at ending the nuclear threat with the power of unity. In the light that our neighbors are posing a war threat, this will be a diplomatic breakthrough in the standoff over North Korea’s nuclear and missile program, it also eases public concerns the North might upstage the Games with yet another weapons test.

Moreover, DPRK’s foreign policy since the 1970s focused on forceful unification of Korean Peninsula and spreading communist revolution in the South. It has to be remembered that an official doctrine till the end of the 1970s ideologically and practically postulated communization of the south on the basis of military intervention . Since that time North Korea placed its spies in the East Asia and started sheltering revolutionists and terrorists from all over the world, among others nine members of radical left-wing group called the Japanese Fraction of the Red Army who skyjacked a Japanese airplane to Pyongyang in March 1970 . Furthermore, North Korea has been for many years developing its nuclear program and numerously threatening to use it what obviously attracts attention of the whole world .

     I think there are many things that the United States has to do in order to resolve the problems that are occurring and to prevent more problems from happening in the future. The first thing that I think the United States should do is to treat them as nicely as possible, even if it means going against what we believe and letting them get away with bad behavior. In the long run it might be a bad thing to do because it could influence other nations to think that they can walk over us and take advantage of us. However, I think it would be the correct thing to do right now because the last thing anyone wants is a nation that is angry with you that holds nuclear weapons. If, however, North Korea refuses to accept our proposal for negotiations and does not agree with anything that we have to offer, I think the only other option is to attack them with
