Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick provides insight into the lives of North Korean defectors while in North Korea. Their accounts give inside information about the North Korean regime which makes it possible to analyze to what extent society was an egalitarian utopia. The interview reveals that people were discriminated by social class as evident by those who were richer, and thus in a higher social strata, having more opportunities for success.

The Korean War, also known as the “Forgotten War” began on June 25, 1950. On that day, about 75,000 soldiers from North Korean, with the help and advice from the Soviet Union, cross the 38th parallel. The 38th parallel is “the boundary between the Soviet-backed Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the north and the pro-Western Republic of Korea to the south” (History.com).

increased public confidence in the government, The propagandist model has succeeded in making up for North Korea’s lack in technological advancements with high conscription rates. If America were to turn to war with the North Koreans, ground troops under Kim Jong Un’s propagandized leadership could be as reckless as those of the Japanese kamikaze that fought almost a century ago. Although the DPRK poses a significant future threat to US security, it has also proven illegitimacy in its committal of countless
