Have you ever imagined a life where someone is watching you all the time and even what you are thinking for 24 hours? In SF novel the 1984 by George Orwell, everyone who lives in Oceania is controlled by the ruler called the Big Brother. People who live there do not realize that they do not have the freedom and human rights at all. This unbelievable situation in the novel is occurring in today’s society as well. In North Korea, they have a totalitarian dictatorships like the novel 1984, which should

In The Republic, Plato discusses many of his ideas and philosophies on justice of a state and men. Plato also define his understanding and belief of what a state is and how it should be structured. Even though, Plato’s ideas are strong and valid, I think that they are outdated and are out of context in modern society. The Republic, suggests that a just man and a just state contain three corresponding virtues: wisdom, spirit and appetite. The virtue of wisdom is the ruling virtue of the rulers of

Korea. Apparently, they deployed a nuclear submarine as part of a series of military drills by the peninsula of Korea. But was it really a drill like they claim or did the president secretly try to destroy North Korea? Well, that surely ticked off Kim Jong-un, Supreme leader of North Korea. He even made a threat to the US to not even think twice about messing with them, otherwise, he’ll be sending a nuclear our way, without us knowing. It’s scary not knowing what’s going to happen next. Through this

The Likelihood of War When I was younger, my mother told me a story about discipline. As a child, she and her sisters would watch T.V. on the big plush carpet in her father’s house. Her father would draw a line in the carpet, marking the closest they could be to the T.V. My mother and her sisters, both being at the age of rebellion, took this as a challenge. They would discreetly scoot forward, their toes touching the line, watching to see if their father noticed. When they realized they could get

the northern part and the United States controlled the southern part. The United Nations scheduled elections and stated that both parties were to be fair and democratic. The Soviet Union refused the idea of having democratic elections and anointed Kim Il-Sung as North Korea’s communist ruler in contrary with South Korea which democratically elected Syngman Rhee as its leader. That explains why there’s North Korea and South Korea. The nation’s split made a bombarding impact in the development of its

Try to imagine a world today without any originality in it whatsoever. Attempting to do this is nearly an impossible task because originality has such an enormous influence on our daily lives. John Stuart Mill discusses the impact originality has on society in his essay, “Originality and Genius”. Mill talks about the positive effects that having an atmosphere of freedom has on a society, while also addressing the severe effects that would happen if that same atmosphere were to be nonexistent. I

The Culture of North Korea What is culture? Culture is everything, simple but a complex make up of a people that binds us together. The word culture is broad and encompassing. There is no simple, universally accepted definition of the word culture. It is by definition: the behavior and beliefs characteristic of a particular social, ethnic or age group. It is characterized a group of peoples’ traditions, religion, food, customs and language. Culture is dynamic. Culture is static. It both changes

too much foreign influence. By forcing venues to show local made films and restricting the number of foreign Korea introduced their first screen quota in 1966, with a minimum of 146 days. This was decreed by Korea’s Motion Picture Law, Article 19 (Kim, 2000). A venue that did not follow the screen quota would be in danger of having their business

occupied by The United States of America. Following the Cold War, the 38th parallel became the official divide between my north and south leaving the communist control of the Soviet Union and China in the north with American Democracy in the south. Kim IL-Sung: I feel as though the southern peninsula is weak and its people crave the control of North Korean Communism in their lives. As day goes on their armies get weaker and they become more and more susceptible

The Korean War was a conflict between North Korea and South Korea- the first conflict in history between two nuclear powers. On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces surprised the South Korean army and the small U.S. force stationed in the country, and quickly headed toward the capital city of Seoul. The Russian government, under Joseph Stalin, agreed to help North Korea when he knew that the U.S would not be involved. Two days later, the United States responded by pushing a resolution through the
