The Long Term Impact

I believe that North Korea is similar to the society in the book Anthem. I believe this for the reason that they are both collectivism societies and their leaders go to extreme ends to protect their collectivism (71). Firstly, they are both collectivism societies which means that the citizens are taught to work for the greater good instead of just themselves. If they aren’t contributing or making the culture better, than the leaders would not approve of their action. For example, in North Korea the citizens have to work for the greater good and are not encouraged to be individualized. Another example, is that in the book Anthem they are not allowed to speak the word “I” because that hints towards individualism which the society is not about

The country of North Korea compares rather closely to the world in Ayn Rand’s Anthem. Both nations of people are very closed off from the community and the outside world. The citizens only know about what the government officials want them to know about. In North Korea everyone depends upon and worships their leader, Kim Jong Il, almost as though he is their god. They all only depend on what they classify as “we” and they rely only on that because they do not have access to anyone else or even know what it means to be an individual. In both the book and North Korea, the citizens are locked down and watched with a careful eye. Breaking the rules in Anthem would send you to the Uncharted Forest, which is very similar to what happens to those

North Korea’s government is very similar to Anthem’s form of government. North Korea is a dictatorship, meaning one person has absolute power and controls everything. The people of Korea are under strict rules and if

North Korea, officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, is a unitary singe-party state. There is only one political party: the Worker’s Party of Korea. North Korea was founded on August 5, 1945. The per Capita GDP for the country is $1,700. The country has a supreme leader (head of state); Kim Jong-un, who was chosen by the Supreme People’s Assembly. The premier (head of government) is Yon-rim. The national literacy rate is 99%. Also, the citizens’ roles are to follow laws and to be loyal to their country. Citizens cannot vote and have very little say in the government.

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

Life in North Korea’s high contrast with life in the United States is marked by nonexistent personal freedoms and harsh punishments. One example of restricted freedom in shown in their leader, Kim Jong-un. He, who they address as Dear Leader, is treated like

The short-term impacts of substance abuse, nutrition, and stress on a baby include a premature birth, stillbirth, SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), and a low birth weight. The long-term impacts, however, greatly exceed the short-term impacts. The long-term physical impacts include cleft lip or palate, clubfoot, obesity, facial disorders, and deformed limbs.

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.

First of all, there is a big difference in politics between North Korea and The U.S. The U.S has a democratic government which people in the country have equal rights, people are also have the right to vote for their leaders. And there are House of Representatives and the senate to

Another thing I learned about North Korea is the collective punishment. The way the government tortures their citizens and the rules and laws that govern the country. I learned about the "three generations of punishment". Like I stated earlier, a person is sent to the camp along with that person 's whole family and two succeeding generations of family members would be born in the camp and live their entire lives there. Therefore, once someone is convicted of a crime, his or her entire family can be unfairly seized and held captive in the camps solely based on their family ties. The idea

This is due to the ultimate control of the dictator, Kim Jong-Un has the utmost power in North Korea and does not allow anyone's opinions to sway his views on laws or orders on the land. Also if anyone goes against his ruling or doesn’t agree with his decisions he most likely has them executed, this means that his rules and regulations are based on emotion and his needs more than for the country. With Kim Jong-Un only considering himself rather than others then, this spells bad news for everyone. With no one able to reason with Kim Jong-Un this leaves room for more irrational decision making that can harm us all. As everyone is on edge over the matters in North Korea, it is safe to say that Kim Jong-Un and the country has gained some extra pair of eyes over the military troops and

If anyone goes against the leadership in North Korea the whole family and generations after them are punished. In North Korea, if a relative is persecuted for “anti-state” or “anti-socialist” crimes, then the family and three generations of the family can be punished for it. The aim is to remove from society the whole family unit to prevent any dissent from emerging in the future, and also to deter martyrs who might sacrifice themselves for a political cause, but would not want to sacrifice their whole family. (Liberty in North Korea) Many people change their minds about rebelling because they do not want to put their families at

It seemed to me that the political aspect of the Korean War was the most dominating feature. The international politics and the divided foreign relationships with countries were the important outcomes that I was able to list right away before reading the two course materials. This reading mentioned the impact on socio-cultural characteristics of the society and its influence due to the Korean War. Because of the heavy crises and brutalities, South Korea has been shaped by series of traumas and outbreaks. The consequences were much heavier than I thought it would have been. After the war, it surprised me to learn that the entire Korean peninsula suffered from the damages due to massive scale movements. The suffering was not only shown from the wartime ravages but also from the ideological differences. This was why South Korea and North Korea constantly suffered from threats of war and

People go to parties all the time and get drunk, and sometimes do not remember what happen to them. A lot of times, there may be negative consequences that can have a long-lasting impact on the individual. If my roommate comes home one night after partying, and if she thinks that she has been raped, I will talk to her and see if I can take care of her in many aspects. Knowing that she may not be able to think fully, I will still listen to her because she may be able to identify who did it and remember other details about that night.

North Korea may be one the hardest countries to live in because if you talk bad about their government it is a possibility you can go to jail. Though any information on speech restrictions in the country before Arduous March is extremely
