Should the U.S. interfere with North Korea?
The inadequate leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, is a merciless dictator who takes away his country's rights. Living conditions for the trapped people in North Korea are poverty-stricken and unfair. The natives to the country are being deceived of the image of what life is like, especially outside the borders of North Korea. This is the reason the United States. must take charge with the dispute in North Korea.
Human rights are an essential part to a free life. To many people, their human rights are virtuous and to others it is a privilege. Though to numerous people in North Korea these human rights are a want. When living in North Korea you are no longer a citizen, everything is controlled by

As stated by the Human Rights Watch, “The government curtails all basic human rights, including freedom of expression, assembly, and association, and freedom to practice religion. It prohibits any organized political opposition, independent media, free trade unions, and independent civil society organizations.(HRW)” In other countries like the United States and the United Kingdom citizens have freedom of choice. There is freedom of choice for religion, radio station, TV stations, and curriculum. Under the rule of the of Kim, North Koreans do not have these choices. Their religion is praising Kim and his deceased father Kim Sung Il. All TV and Radio stations are controlled and chosen by the WPK.There is one TV station that was selected by their great leader and it is all about him. In 2014 the United Nations Commission of Inquiry(COI) did a report on human rights in North Korea. In this rundown it stated that foul human rights violations were conducted by the government. These acts include government ordered murders, torture, imprisonment, enslavement, and forced abortions (North). In the U.S. people vote for what curriculum that they want their teachers to teach their children, then later on in
The United States has been experiencing high levels of contention in all aspects with North Korea since the 19th century. However, since then those relations have not subsided. Recently many felt North Korea’s test missiles and nukes have threatened the peace and safety of the community. As told so by the South Korean foreign ministry. This is one reason why Americans should care about the relations between the U.S and North Korea because, if North Korea is able to make their country powerful through the sourcing of manual labor, this is a prime example of the outcomes attainable if the United States and North Korea worked in unison with each other. Ultimately the Koreans and the United States will both be able to create a successful and powerful
In the book Northing to Envy, Barbara Demick describes North Korea as an undeveloped country. “You can see the evidence of what once was and has been lost…” (4,Demick) The North Koreas aren’t up to the modern world and still haven’t learned that all humans need rights to be happy. Many aspects of human rights are broken in North Korean society that affect the people negatively, making them feel violated.
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
The North Korean Government has listed 24 articles under the Fundamental Rights and Duties of Korean citizens (Articles 62-86). (Helpline Law.)
The conflict I am focusing on is the conflict between North Korea and the USA.
One of the security challenges facing the United States (US) is the US and North Korea relations. The US policy toward North Korea is diplomatic yet firm. North Korea is our longest standing adversary. Policy toward North Korea is one of the most enduring foreign policy challenges. In this essay I will discuss the security challenge of U.S. and North Korea, the theory of international relation, realism, how it illuminates this challenge and how the instruments of
In North Korea the people can only watch tv or listen to music run by the government. Also if you live in North Korea you cannot freely leave the country. Out of all of the things Kim Jung-Un does to abuse his power this stuck out the most if a person doesn't obey Kim Jung-Un's rules he does what he wishes with them. North Korea currently has 16 operating labor camps and prisoners are put there for something as simple as stealing a kernel of corn. Another thing he does is he will just kill you if he thinks you have committed some kind of crime.
North Koreaś government is a dictatorship with Kim Jong-un as the dictator. The North Koreans treat Jong-un as a god and that he
People lose freedoms every day, residents of North Korea have freedoms but they're not free. Under the rule of Kim Jong-Un, North Korea remains among the world's most repressive countries. All basic freedoms have been severely restricted under the Kim family's political dynasty. They live in a communist country where even things on the internet can't be searched. They were born into communism. It is illegal for the North Korean people to leave their country without the regime's permission, and the regime attempts to restrict the people's movement even inside their own country. If you wish to travel to another part of the country, you are supposed to have a specific purpose and obtain permission from your work unit. If you do not live in Pyongyang,
In United States since the early 1800’s, we also have struggled with human rights. With the help of great historical figures, such as Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr., United States was able to realize its cruelty in racism. Eventually, the government succeeded to offer people the desired freedom of racial, sexist, religious, and civil right discriminations. North Korea, today, seems to be slowly opening up to the world. However, just like the past, people in North Korea are still out crying from their hearts for the freedom in their country. We need another Lincoln for North Korea.
Rights for all citizens are self evident. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness should be allowed to all people. People that live in your country have be deprived of basic life necessities. Citizens in North Korea are limited from leaving the country and exploring the world and
North Korea appears on the international stage as a country existing beyond the world we all know. It isolates its citizens from the rest of international community and does not obey any rules determined by international law, but requires respect and recognition. Moreover, North Korea is one of the countries that remains aggressive towards its neighbors and applies various terrorist techniques, i.e. illegal contraband, political terror and mass abductions of other countries’ citizens in its foreign policy. The reasons for which the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) behaves so unpredictably and irrationally are diversified. First of all, the DPRK as a country is managed very irrationally – regimes of Kim Il-sung and
North Korean citizens are the most oppressed people in the world. The people there have no basic radio communications, they are blocked from most internet and television and most foreign journalists are not allowed in the country. The government is also technically not a communist country, it is in fact a
This article deals with the United States and its attempts to deal with the dangerous matters of North Korea. Some of the problems that were brought up in this article were North Korea’s plan to restart a plutonium based nuclear program at Yongbyon, North Korea’s plan to build a new highly enriched uranium (HEU) nuclear program, and the tension that emerged between the United States and South Korea. Even though many problems were occurring, there were some positive things that were happening at the time. The United States began negotiating with North Korea and South Korea about establishing railroad links, demining portions of the demilitarized zone, allowing athletes to compete in the Asian games, and allowing abductees to visit Japan.
State media sources are tightly controlled so as to prevent the North Korean public from accessing any information that does not come from the country's strict government bureau of information, and this means that many North Koreans are grossly misinformed about the position of North Korea in the world and believe, for example, that their meagre lifestyles are preferable to the terrible conditions in other countries. Visitors to North Korea routinely report tight levels of control, with mobile phones confiscated for the duration of the visit and all movement tracked by an official government-supplied 'tourist guide'.
