Topic > North Korea Government: Fear in Citizens - 514

North Korea's citizens stand no chance against its oppressive government; fear and uncertainty dictate the country's mentality. The country of North Korea is in danger. The video talks about how massive rains have caused crops to fail and forced many North Koreans to go hungry. The video describes how a family ate hot clay and tree bark for their evening meal, only to have something on their stomachs. North Korea has closed its borders and will not associate with prosperous South Korea. Oppression works against North Koreans through propaganda, lies, closed societies, repression and scapegoating. All five of these tie into one, LIES! North Koreans are brainwashed from birth. They are told complete fabrications about South Korea and the United States. The North Korean government insists in the heads of its young people about the divine leader they have, they blame the United States for their danger, their tourism is terrible, and if they speak out against the government, well, there are camps for that. The North Korean government makes the country believe it is one of the stronger and more prosperous of the two (North and South). North Korea stands out from the rest of East Asia. The future I foresee for North Korea is uncertain, they are on the road to disaster. East Asia is a well-populated whistling area. The region's economic growth is phenomenal; they are integrating technology and making long-term plans for the future. North Korea is the only one excluded. North Korea is poor, isolated and appears to have little grasp of reality. North Korea's leadership is focused on dictatorship and tactical measures to make other countries believe they are superior. The video shows the terrible conditions in which every North Korean has to live. They force their children to dance and do gymnastics, with my collaboration in case a tourist arrives. I predict a collapse of the North Korean government, a more severe economic collapse, and the outbreak of civil war. I don't believe in the old saying "history repeats itself", what I believe is that we can learn from the mistakes of other countries. I think North Korea should take a look at Syria and take note of the way protesters are rebelling against the central government. America and South Korea have different positions on how they should handle problems arising in North Korea..
