North Korean Government

Dictatorship, is it truly evil or can it be more than that? North Korea has been under a strict rule for many years by over three generations of of leaders. Because of the tight rule citizen have been scared to speak in public and are still scared to this day. Stronger, more powerful humans prey on and dehumanize the weak in order to maintain a higher status. Jack did just this when he came into power on the island. North Korea’s government and Jacks rule from the novel, Lord of the Flies, are very similar in the way that they both are dictatorships, and they control their citizens with fear.

North Korea has been labeled as a mysterious state as the country is secluded from the rest of the world. The Democratic People 's Republic of Korea is a small country with a population of 25 million and is under a communist model of power. The country has been under control of the Kim dynasty since 1948, it began with Kim Il-Song and since then they have remained in power to this current day. The leaders are plastered all over the city of Pyongyang, with statues and murals on the wall and with the citizens wearing pins with the previous leaders to show their dedication to the regime. The city itself is a front to demonstrate a dynamic and advanced country. The regime has been successful for years, regardless of the fact that the government is repressive and the numerous violations of human rights. After the mismanagement of the famine crisis, which resulted in possibly millions of deaths. How is it possible for the regime to be still intact, especially when so many countries before them, have failed. The regime has successfully indoctrinated children at a young age through their education system, the barricading of information and their implanting of fear among the population.

North Korea is a country that is ruled by a dictator and has a communist government. A communist government rules all the land and gives the same amount of money and supplies to all the people in the country. “Daily Necessities were obtained from the Public Distribution System (PDS)” (95,Hassig). The PDS shut down in 1995 because foreign aid was cut off expect for Pyongyang, the capital city. In rural areas, a lot of the children were born as “no-count” meaning that when they were born they weren’t counted as part of the existing society and didn’t have supplies given to them. North Korea was once a unified country with South Korea until September 9, 1948 when it became a separate country. From 1910 to 1945 Japan had ruled

There are many forms of government all over the world. Governments are very important to how they allow the population to work together. Two of the most popular forms of government are a dictatorship and a democracy. Both these governments have their own properties and are unique in every country they are present in.

The government claims that citizens get the full amount of basic rights and claim that DPRK has the best rights in the world ( Federal Research Division, 172-175). Contrary to what they said, the DPRK is one of the most repressive governments on the face of the earth. Their constitution claims that they get freedom of religion, speech, press, and more ( 175-176). The North Korean government instead ignores every single word in their own constitution (United Nations Human Rights Council 3). The Supreme People’s Assembly meets only once a year ( Federal Research Division, 175-176). The current state of modern North Korea is based off the policy of aggression, fear, and governmental brainwashing. (Daily Mail Reporter). North Korean citizens can and will be placed in a labor camp if they do anything that goes against the regime (“North Korea”). Not only can North Korean citizens get placed in a labor camp for going against the regime, but foreigners can and will be placed in a labor camp for committing that crime, too (David Brunnstrom). In the North, the government boasts about many of their so-called achievements and superiority over the others. Their media constantly shows how plentiful and how powerful the country is (“Kim Jong Un's New Year Address”). Videos and images of industry, food, technology, and stocked stores picture the country as a perfect

Cultures are unparalleled with North Korea maintaining a communist government ran by the Kim Family for generations rather than a democracy like the United States. North Korea consists of a population conditioned from a very young age to accept the words and deeds of the elder and junior Kim’s to be the absolute truth. “The greatest meaning in life lies in bullets and bombs.” With a society referred into three categories as basic, chaotic and enemy, depending on the background and social origins. With a culture that operates as a communist Government raising human rights issues in addition to concerns over nuclear and chemical weapons. Human rights are nonexistent in the country. Officials above Deputy Prime Minister Level are provided vehicles at state expenses. Party operates at a level of discipline surpassing that of the military. For example, “public self-criticism is the punishment for being a minute late after lunch. Surveillance is much tighter to include listening devices at home and watching their every move.” Corruption is highest in the government trading and foreign exchange departments. Almost equally severe in departments responsible for housing and employment. Nuclear and chemical weapons have always been an interest between the two. A Stalemate, escalation, or an agreement.

Primarily, it is evident that North Korea carries a Totalitarian Authoritarian regime that has been upheld by its first president, Kim Il-sung. The official Supreme Leader of North Korea is Kim Il-sung grandson, Kim Jong-un, who took over after his father passed away in 2011. North Korea is under Democratic People’s Republic of Korea political power, which was founded in September 9, 1948. Overall, North Korea can be described has a country that is led a political system that is called totalitarianism. In other words, this describes a state that has a leader that creates repression by using propaganda campaign, cult personality, and extreme regulations. For this regime the ultimate goal is to diminish individuality and to obtain the ultimate political control by having authority over the public and private life. Additionally, Worker’s Party of Korea is the only political party that is made up of members that hold similar ideology beliefs as the Supreme leader of North Korea.

North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un has made audacious claims alluding to the power and potential of the country’s nuclear programme. The United State has yet to confirm the validity of these claims, but the US intelligence has decided to air on the side of caution; our country is preparing for a nuclear strike. The most dangerous thing about Kim Jong-un’s claims is the details. A number of tests conducted, the type of bombs being tested, the material being used to manufacture these bombs, and whether or not North Korean intelligence has achieved miniaturization are all very important factors in the rush to defend our country against these threats. If the country has conducted multiple tests, it’s had more opportunities to refine its weapon; if the bombs are hydrogen bombs, they are far more powerful; if uranium is the nuclear reactant being used, North Korea can make many many more bombs than before; if they have been able to miniaturize a bomb small enough to fit on a missile, they can launch an attack on US soil. Kim Jong-un has claimed for all of these to be true, but the US is a strong, independent country, and any attack will be detected early on and met with an attack just as strong if

With all the news these days about North Korea's testing of nuclear missiles and the political battles and verbal rhetoric over recent events it is probably best to review some history regarding this issue. As far back as the 1980s, there has been a question about North Korea and nuclear weapons. The initial concerns arose in the mid-1980's, under the Reagan administration with intelligence reports proposing the potential for North Korean nuclear ambitions. In those reports, US intelligence reported the construction of a nuclear reactor capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium. The North Korean reactor located in Yongbyon, became the focus of the first

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, better known as North Korea, is a country in east Asia. North Korea officially describes itself as a socialist state, but it is widely recognized as a dictatorship. Kim ll-sung is the first supreme leader of North Korea, and the grandfather of the current leader, Kim Jong Un. Under the regime of the Kims, North Korea isolated itself away from the rest of the world. It is a perfect archetype of a “closed society”. Since the beginning of the rule of the Kims, the condition in North Korea have worsened, where citizens have little to no civil rights.

North Korea is under the rule of the Kim’s. Kim Jong-un is the supreme leader and is in charge of most major government activities. North Korea’s main focus is on Military and has priority above everything else. The North Korean military is one of the largest institutions, however the force is said to be weak because of the lack of nuclear weapons (nukes). The citizens of North Korea have very little rights and the Human Rights Watch say that they are some of the most brutalized people. Laws there are extensive and have strict control over traveling, employment, food and

If outer space is indeed a lot of nothing, than the newly named North Korean space agency may be aptly titled, albeit inadvertently.

A very big difference between the two governments we are comparing is there voting system. In a Democracy, citizens actually get a say in who is going to be their upcoming leader. Like in the U.S., citizens have to be at least 18 years old to vote. But in an authoritarian government their citizens have no say for whom their leader will be. The people who get to decide who the ruler will be are, kings, military leaders, emperors, or

In the modern world, most of the countries have democratic government, which means that decisions are made by the people, who rule and govern the state. However, there is not a single state that practices perfect democracy due to different reasons. Governments are too big, which makes it very complex for every citizen to have a voice in decisions. Or, governments are claimed to be democratic, but in practice they can be close to authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes where one person has a power to make and enforce laws. Political power is not allocated evenly among all members of society, so, in this or that way, governments tend to fall in the hands of the few, whom we can call the elite or the power elite.

Finally, democracy is the best form of government thus far because it is susceptible to change. The role of high courts, and equal rights makes change possible. For example, if the majority impedes on a minority groups’ rights, over time, the legislature will adjust, enumerating those who were previously attacked. Overall, democracy makes the necessary refinements needed to keep up with societal developments.
