The same tactics used to make the Korean’s obedient also created a hatred among the people instead of creating a people that were grateful or content in any way. Strategies used that were previously mentioned, such as the elimination of Korean culture, with the addition of those that installed fear into the people that blanketed Korea in suffering. With the people’s culture and identity being taken away, the addition of fear and oppression added to the anguish of country. Fear was instilled by means of people being “forced out of their land and their homes by the Japanese, who are buying up land cheaply by threat and coercion” (Kim, p.17). The people also had the fear that by saying the wrong thing or getting on someone wrong side they would face grave consequences.

On the other, hand others believe that this is just a faze and there can be peace. Kim Jong-un wants complete power over everybody in North Korea. “State Surveillance permeates the private lives of citizens. ”(Life in Korea: executions, starvation and

Kim Jong-Un is the “supreme leader” of North Korea, but don’t let his somewhat-friendly smile fool anyone. He is by far one of the cruelest leaders on the face of this Earth, and this is not strictly opinion – it is factual, based on countless different news reports, articles, and other various sources. “‘Kim Jong-Un has picked up where his father and grandfather left off, by overseeing a system of public executions, extensive political prison camps, and brutal forced labor, …’” This quote from Phil Robertson (Human Rights Watch deputy Asia director) could not have been said any better, and practically hit the nail right on the head. Jong-Un controls the government to send

North Korea lacks basic utilities to make modern human life impossible in most areas, “There is no medicine, there is no running water, there is no soap in hospitals,” (Ling 20:10). In North Korea they have no way of ensuring a healthy population, and they rely on countries like America to provide for them. Access to the small amount of modern amenities is completely based on someone’s position within the government. North Korea has not asked for aid even when they were in a massive famine, “I saw children dying under my hands when I was too late,” (Ling 20:31). Children in North Korea are dying from lack of food and the rest are stunted and deformed from malnutrition.

Often, authoritarian governments will stop at nothing to achieve consolidation of power, utilizing methodical violence and elimination of political freedoms as a source of control and manipulation over the country's population. By creating a sense of fear within society, it becomes easy to perpetuate a culture of self-censorship and

As an American, we cannot comprehend the types of laws that are enforced upon North Korean Citizens. A few bizarre controlment rules that I still struggle to comprehend myself are there are only twenty-eight ways North Korean men and women can cut their hair, North Korean Men and Women are not allowed to own a bible or any western literature, and also there are only three channels on tv and you must only watch those. Along with those laws in place, the North Korean government has control over education and news which leads to many growing up to hate other countries besides their own with no reasoning behind their hatred. Our lives along with many others are still being affected by the iron grip of societal norms.

In North Korea ever since birth every man and woman are to love their ruler as if they were “God” themselves stated well in the Documentary of North Korea. They must bow everyday and pray to their ruler and to please their ruler. In the book “Anthem” the people love their brothers as equal no such thing as loving more than one another. There is no selfishness and may not exceed what you are told the amount of intelligence is required; they are put into a group with a given name and number. They have a routine they must follow in their everyday lives until death.

North Koreans believe that as long as they follow their ruler, they will have a happy, full life. They hold large, elaborate celebrations, parades, and children compete in the Mass Games. During parades “as they march past, they cry 'Mansei ' which means "Long Live!"”

Kim Il Sungism, the belief that Kim that the Kim family is all-powerful, was the ideology within North Korea, and breaking this ideology resulted in banishment from the cities, imprisonment, or public execution. If any person were to visit North Korea, they would have to visit the statue of the “Great Leader” on Mansudae Hill, and place flowers on the feet of the leader. There were, and still are, pictures of the leaders placed all around the country. These posters, and different means of propaganda, directly effect the way in which North Koreans think and perceived their leaders. The men of North Korea were encouraged to dress themselves in similarity to Kim Jong-Il.

Today, this “ability” is being abused by those who have this privilege. Boss tweed once said “The way to have power is to take it.” There are many different ways in which it is being abused and many people who are abusing it. I will discuss how power is being abused through political leaders, military officers, and life-to-life people. One of the most powerful person in the world is Kim Jong Un.

Manipulation is shown in many ways such as politics, the media, misleading information and false advertising. To convey one’s thoughts to your own advantage is seen as crude and unnecessary. However, many people have their reasons in manipulating someone whether they are good or bad. In Shakespeare’s Othello, the concept of taking advantage of someone through manipulation leads to unnecessary, horrible events.

The leaders of the north korean people, dwelling in Pyongyang, have not only shown progress in advanced military weapons, but have also shown progress in separating themselves from our goal of universal peace. That, unto me and unto us, is all we need to feel threatened. Therefore, it is on our own responsibilities

(Ryall, 2013). Despite no radical change, Kim Jong Un tried to put sign on his tenure by showing stricter policy. During his leadership, more first class elites were executed including Jang Song-Thaek, his uncle which was well-known as Kim Jong Ill’s right hand. Kim Jong Un who relatively mysterious before the succession tried to raise his popularity by building monuments for example the newest waterpark in Pyongyang. Human Rights Watch published

People in North Korea are suffering because of one leader: Kim Jong Un. Because of his ruling style, no one is allowed to speak out against him. His strategy is to stay in power until his death, and he has his own country under his control. In the USA, if the people don’t like the government, they can overthrow it, and people can also critique the government without getting thrown in a World War 2 style labour

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has a unique political regime that is often the subject of international talk. Despite being a distinct system of it’s own, the regime in North Korea shares similarities with other authoritative structures. The system was based on a Stalinist economy, however, is the only regime of it’s kind to last this long. The North Korean regime has been active for over five decades and is the only regime to survive generational leadership changes. The political system in North Korea is a highly centralized and materialized bureaucratic regime that is focused on their leader.
