Murder Of Kim Jong Nam

1984 demonstrates a dystopian society in Oceania by presenting a relentless dictator, Big Brother, who uses his power to control the minds of his people and to ensure that his power never exhausts. Aspects of 1984 are evidently established in components of society in North Korea. With both of these society’s under a dictator’s rule, there are many similarities that are distinguished between the two. Orwell’s 1984 becomes parallel to the world of dystopia in North Korea by illustrating a nation that remains isolated under an almighty ruler.

Kim Jong-Un, the First Chairman of the National Defence Commission, an ambitious and arrogant guy. His ambitious identity could be exposed from: ‘Threatening to fire his increasingly capable missiles toward the United States’ and ‘By declaring war on South Korea’ [Inside the mind of

To the point of unhealthy obsession, not unlike a cult. If Kim Il-sung had asked for her life, she would have given it gladly. At the other end of the spectrum, Jun-sang “lived with a fear that was so internalized that he wasn’t able to articulate it, but it was ever-present” (35). His parents has insured that he knew to keep his mouth shut about personal beliefs. When Kim Il-sung died-“he had been contemplating his own reaction, or lack thereof, with an intellectual detachment, but suddenly he was gripped with fear. He was alone, completely alone in his indifference- The revelation was followed quickly by another, equally momentous: his entire future depended on his ability to cry. Not just his career and his membership in the Workers’ Party, his very survival was at stake” (pg. 98). Junsang like many North Koreans had to accept his position in life without question lest he risk massive consequences for himself and his family. Jun-sang could not have been the only North Korean to have been indifferent to the death of Kim Il-sung, but any likeminded individuals would never be able to publically show anything but desperate

Kim Jong UnAlthough Kim Jong Un has no confirmed birthdate, it is known he is the third and youngest son of Korean military leader Kim Jong-Il, who had ruled since 1994. His father saw a lot of himself in his son, leading to Jong Il passing his leadership on to him once he died. He passed away in 2011 and that’s when Jung Un came to power. Under his power, North Korea started weapon testing programs. In February 2012, he started testing nuclear testing on long range missile launching, going along with his weapon testing. In April, 2012 North Korea launched a satellite that failed not too long after taking off, but in December of the same year, the government launched a long-range rocket that put the satellite in order. February of the next

Next, both of the government systems are closely related in the way that they are setup to run their countries. In both societies, people are executed publicly if they are believed in any way to be traitors, or if they do something the ruler is not particularly fond of. In 1984, the citizens take time out of their days to watch the executions because it brings them enjoyment when they watch the traitor die. The difference between the societies methods of execution is the way that North Korea completes these tasks is significantly more brutal than in 1984. In North Korea, they use firing squads, beheadings, and hangings all in one execution. Whereas in 1984, they only use hangings. In both societies, people that work for the government are demanded to destroy the history that is not to their liking. In the novel, people that work for the ministry of truth are required to change or shred the history, making it like the situation never even occurred. In a very similar way, North Korea shreds all of their books because they think that the citizens should believe what the government is telling them, leaving out the benefit of having any information to back it up or that contradicts the words that come out of their mouths. Both governments also use Vaporization. In 1984, they delete all records of the person ever existing, no proof that they were ever alive. In North Korea, people just disappear, no one knowing where the person went. Along with

Kim Jong-Un is one of the 49 current dictators that are still ruling. Kim Jong-Un’s birthdate is currently unknown because his parents never revealed it. Kim Jong-Un’s father was Kim Jong-Il who was the dictator of North Korea from 1994-2011. Kim Jong-Il chose Kim Jong-Un to take over his position in 2011 when he passed away because he noticed similarities in Kim Jong-Un to himself. In 2011 when Kim Jong-Un took power, he executed many of his father’s senior officials. One of the people executed was his uncle, Jang Song-thaek. The rest of his uncle’s family was executed as well. North Korea under Kim Jong-Un’s control is best known for their weapon testing. They use the weapon testing to show the world that they have the best weapons, which threatens other countries. In 2012, North Korea agreed to stop the nuclear weapon testing. Even though North Korea agreed to stop the testing, two months later they launched a satellite that failed after takeoff. In 2016, North Korea had their fifth underground nuclear test. In 2017, North Korea is still testing nuclear weapons. In February of 2017, North Korea launched a medium long range ballistic missile. Although testing nuclear weapons is one of Kim Jong-Un’s favorite things to do, he has other interests. He appreciates the western culture. One of his favorite things about western culture is the ex-NBA player Dennis Rodman. Dennis Rodman actually visited Kim Jong-Un in North Korea for two days in 2013. Kim Jong-un got his wife, Ri Sol-ju, in the summer of 2012. The couple’s wedding date is currently still

The Korean peninsula has been a volatile area since the end of World War II. Today it is the last example of a single nation divided between two states, represents the longest division of ideologies, and is the archetype of enduring Cold War symptoms. Although small in size, The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has been the biggest obstacle to regional stability in Asia, its militant and hostile policies posing a threat not only to western aligned nations, but also to its former and present benefactors, Russia and China. This dangerous country represents a very important target for the United States’ Intelligence Community, an extremely difficult one to exploit, but one that cannot be ignored as North Korea’s ambitions

Though many developed countries have reaped the benefits of Democratic Governance, a wave of Unitary Governments, paired with the malevolence of terrorism, has acted as a malignant plague across the world. Throughout the globe, dictators have seized control of numerous states, and their abundant populations and militaries. A quintessential exemplification of this phenomenon is Kim Jong Un’s rule over North Korea. Since rising to power following the death of his father in 2011, the CIA estimates that Kim Jong Un has ordered the execution of over 70 officials. In addition, the North Korean government has been accused of a myriad of human rights violations against its 25 million citizens. Furthermore, North Korea was recently accused of a cyberattack against Sony, as well as a

A story titled “the strangest 30 decisions made by the leader of North Korea.” is up on MBC’s website, the story is from September 2017. The story characterized Kim Jung Un as a “peculiar individual who kills - with no mercy - his relatives, kin, and assistants.”

The war went down and we won it all. Turn’s out the T-1000’s weren’t prepared for our EMP’s. One blast of an EMP could take out a T-1000 for 15 minutes. Kim Jong Un was at the top of our list, and he escaped. We instantly started a chase to catch him. He left to go to his nuclear facility, in hope of launching more weapons. With a gun to one of his nuclear reactors, we told him, “Put your hands behind your back and drop the weapon”. He dropped the weapon and immediately reached to press the button with the label, “FIRE”. I was like a sniper and shot from 1500 meters away, right into his hand, injecting The FLare into him. And we lived happily ever after, yeah not really. Upon my exit, someone from my team yelled for help, we thought it was Max, so we ran after him. When we got there, he had a assault rifle locked onto my head. He didn’t meet with his family, he met with North Korea and then, I was the suspect. The only thing we didn’t teach, the dropkick. It only took one karate kick to the left side of the face to knock him out. We arrested Kim and later convicted him with more than 300 million counts of murder. As for the traitor, we left him duct taped to the diamond royalty chair. That was the end of Kim’s supremacy. Today is my birthday, not really mine, but our brand new country's birthday. I am the President of the New Day, and we stand united. What happened today, shall be told tomorrow. For today, my country stands another

The citizens of North Korea are being restricted of almost all their basic human rights. These encompass ‘civil-political, socio-economic, and collective-developmental rights’ (Korea). The country is under a dictatorship by their respected leader Kim Jong-Un. A country that has faced plenty of strife in a bid to sequester and isolate itself from the world, it is now in dire condition after these attempts have proved to drain the country of most of its resources. Despite heavily relying on international aid, the North Korean government has repeatedly failed to meet conditions set by other countries and remains one of, if not the most hostile nations to outsiders. Covert operations led by the top armed forces of other countries to overthrow the current regime by assassinating Kim Jong-Un would be a desperate act but one that could introduce the end of human rights violation in North Korea. Assisting the country in its transition from authoritarianism to a more stable form of government

In the aftermath of World War II, a new state which was regarded as a Soviet Union satellite state was founded in 1948. North Korea is a country under complete authority, totalitarianism and dictatorship with a society which has fallen ill. It seems to the world that the governing system which can’t possibly function in any other countries, has it’s own way of keeping the people under control. However, it continues to face more challenges as the people are exposed to the popular culture while the country itself is still in isolation with an economy and education system that have fallen behind. Kim Jong-un, whom is known as the “Supreme Leader”, is the grandson of Kim ll-sung, the founder and the Great Leader of North Korea. Although the North Korean regime has gained to it’s firm power since the end of the World War II, there are indications that the current leadership of Kim Jong-un is facing unprecedented challenges as he tries to hold on to power.

Kim Jong-il was the supreme leader of North Korea from July of 1994 until his untimely death on December 17th, 2011. His reign as dictator is defined by most as successful but he will go down as one of the most dangerous dictators the world has ever seen. The people of North Korea looked up to Kim Jong-il as a god-like figure.

After Soviet-backed North Korea invaded US-backed South Korea, more than three years of bloody warfare ensued. Despite all casualties, the territorial divide between the Koreas remained roughly the same, with the two states divided among the thirty-eighth parallel by an armistice. (Stueck, 1995) Apart from a brief period in the last decade when tensions eased, the two states continued to espouse intense hostilities against one another, with no formal peace agreements negotiated. (Sigal, 2002) From time to time, North Korea commits acts that are considered aggression under International Law, including but not limited to tunneling to South Korea, launching missiles towards South Korean military facilities and allegedly sinking a South Korean warship. Coupled with Pyongyang’s secrecy in foreign policy making, North Korea’s mixed foreign policy signals, at times, may cause one to believe that they are

NK views the reunification of the Korean peninsula as conquering the world, just as Kautilya considered the conquest of the natural borders of India, ignoring those not within the Indian culture, as establishing world domination. Viewing NK's interaction with the ROK through this lens enables an observer to explain many of the actions taken by NK as it negotiates and postures itself over issues and policies with the ROK. Whether economic connections within the Kaesong Industrial Complex, a combined business venture between the two
