  1. There are cameras everywhere. The government controls what you watch, read, and hear. If you don't listen to the rules, you will be punished. Everyone thinks the leader is a god and the leader is the one who gave them everything, even their children. Americans are not welcome there and they hate the US. I think it is really weird that the citizens do everything they are asked and they should get more rights. If I were them, I would have tried to escape except I would have a really high chance of being shot.

  3. The people of North Korea live under propaganda. They are told what to think and how to act. I don't like what is going on and it is horribly how these people live. They have no clue what is going on in the outside world. They should be able to see other places.

  4. There is a huge crisis going on right now in North Korea. There is a dictator named Kim Jung Un, and he has complete power. The citizens of North Korea have no say in anything, and they have no connection to the outside world. They have no technology, or anything. They are forced to love the leader and thank him for everything that happens. They are basically brainwashed.

  5. North Korea is under the rule of a cruel dictator, and it has been like that for many years. The dictator, Kim-Jong-Un gives his people no rights, they are under the Big Brother rule, in which they are surveillanced and only get to have what the government gives them. He makes them feel like he is the reason they exist, why they have such a "wonderful life" and he is propaganda. The country is also in poverty, they on average barely earn $1,800 GPD, and even the generations have gotten smaller, not in population but in physical size. Kim-Jong-Un is paranoid, which makes him even more dangerous than just being an overall dictator. opportunity
    I feel bad for the citizens of North Korea, they have no rights, and they may say that everyone worships Kim-Jong-Un, but they have no option but to "worship" him. They have to do everything the government says, having to wake up and go to sleep when they want you too, not getting to know what it's like in the outside world, and only getting so see things the government wants you to see. I would never want to live there, or visit.

  7. In North Korea, they think that their leader is God. Being that isolated from other countries is not a good thing, because it makes you a big target. Also, the United States, a military powerhouse, is allies with the country's heated rival, south korea. they are alligned with China, being the sole reason they are still a country today. If they bomb the south, china and the us will bomb them. I wouldn't escape from north korea, just to a place where people usually aren't. So, it's pretty bad.

  8. North Korea is ruled by the leader Kim Jong Un which barely gives anything to the people living there. The government watches over everything people do and if they do anything wrong they go to jail which is really bad. Basically, people in North Korea have been brainwashed with things like Kim Jong Un is the best for example when blind people got their eyesight back they thanked Kim Jong Un, even though the doctor was the one who helped. They are also brainwashed that Americans are bad. My opinion in regards to the citizens living in North Korea is that they are living in poverty and should not be brainwashed with all these bad things and I hope that they get in good conditions so that the citizens can live like we do.

  9. Right now in North Korea they're going through a very hard time and Kim Jong Un has way too much power. All the citizens of North Korea are believing everything the government tells them and the government is controlling their whole lives. The people are isolated from the outside world and do as their told. Their life is very limited and they don’t have the freedom that we have here in America. I think it’s terrible what their going through and it's complete chaos.

  10. What are your overall thoughts with regard to North Korea? Use evidence to back up your opinion/thoughts. I think North Korea is a very poor country that is only set out to fail because the country is dangerous and hated. Their government doesn't fund their people and only care about military reasons. This ruins the economy and angers people. They are also hell bent on destroying their enemies like us the U.S.

  11. I think that North Korea is a very corrupt country because of the leader. Even though NK is unstable and they might attack a country with a bomb and cause devastation to that country, but when they attack that country almost every other country country will go into war with them and attack them. Maybe when a new leader after Kim Jung Un will make the country normal and stable again, that is if Kim Jung Un does not attack another country and send them into war and the country will be devastated.

  13. Well I think that they are very unpredictable, and very dangerous. I know this because of the article that we read in SS, it said that little information is known about Nk and that they are very unpredictable. Also the people in NK don;t know the situation that they are in either, they are starving bt they still "pray" to their leader Kim jong un.

  14. There are many crisis's in North Korea a main one is that pretty much all their people are brainwashed and think that Kim Jong Un is a god. Also they have nuclear weapons( They say they have a hydrogen Bomb, but not a lot of people believe it) also they think that their army is the best in the world and could destroy any country. So putting those things together they could launch a nuclear bomb and then within a day not be a country. I feel bad for the citizens of North Korea because a lot of them are either brainwashed or just scared. In a video that we watched a man said that he would kill every american with his one gun to help the great leader. That could not happen so that guy was either brainwashed or sad.

  15. Kim Jong Un, to most people, is not a good leader or person. He watches you, literally watches every move, to see what movies you watch, what books you read, what things you do on the computer, everything. He even goes as far as saying everyone has to have lights out by this time, basically setting a bedtime for everyone in the country. As they said in the VICE Video we watched when the basketball players were going to North Korea, they said that they felt like they were living in a real life Truman show, because everything they did was watched and they knew that everyone knew that there were Americans in NK. Many people from America or around the world may think that the way of life that North Koreans live is very bad and they must be having a terrible life, but probably some North Koreans think that it is a fine life because that is all they know, they haven't had freedom before, so all they know is how to live under strict laws and only watch movies and read books that are okay to watch and read.

  16. I think that North Korea is a place where everyone is closed off from everything except for what the leader provides. In the video we watched it shows that the leader provides his nation with propaganda. This shows that whatever the leader shows them is seen as the truth. The leader doesn't give the nation things like communication to outsiders/foreigners and internet connection. I think the worst part is that the citizens don't believe that they are living in a bad place and that the leader does everything for them. Many people praise their leader even though it's his fault their suffering. Many of the people in North Korea suffer from malnutrition and are very poor, but they still thank the leader for all that he has done for them.

  18. Well, I think North Korea is stupid and very rude. They are mean to all their citizens and won’t even let them leave. Maybe if they were nicer and less controlling like a lot nicer and less controlling than their citizens would like it there and it can be more of a developing country but, it’s not because of Kim Jong Un. He is a small control freak. He is probably weak. so somebody should just go up to him and shoot him in the face.

  19. The people of North Korea live under propaganda and they live in fear. They live in fear because there are cameras everywhere and the government watches their every move. The government doesn't care about their people. You can tell because lots of people have malnutrition and are dying of starvation. An example of this is Joseph Kim's dad who died of starvation. Citizens of North Korea have really old technology, if that, and they have almost no communication with the outside world so they don't know what happens in other countries unless their government tells them. They all praise Kim Jong Un out of fear and punishment because they don't want to see the punishment. Finally, they make it practically impossible to leave North Korea.

  20. The current situation in North Korea is horrible. The people of North Korea have barely any rights. Many of them do not make enough money to survive. Also, the amount of people in labor camps is extremely devastating. Lastly, one of the worst things in North Korea is the propaganda. They have convinced their citizens that their leader is god. I think the situation in North Korea is horrible. The life expectancy is much longer in South Korea than in North Korea. Even though it is the same people. That is one example of how bad North Korea is.

  21. The current Situation in North Korea is terrible. They have a leader that does not let any citizen have the rights that they should have. There is propaganda all over the country to get the citizens to believe they live in paradise. Many citizens are starving because the leader does not provide food for them. They can't do anything the government doesn't like or they will be put in Labor Camps.

  22. I think that North Korea is a little scary and you never know what will happen the second you walk out the door.I also think that people are very scared because it showed in the youtube video it shows people sobbing at the the death of Kim Jong Il you can not tell if they are actually sad or are scared of what will happen next. In every video we watch you see how their are pictures of the leader everywhere which show that they are brainwashed to think that the leader is the most important person in the world.

  23. North Korea is a country where everything you do is watched, they are only certain movies, music, books, websites and TV shows that you can watch. Kim Jong Un is the leader of the country and he is the one that controls everything. There are pictures and statues of him everywhere and all the people worship him and bow to him everyday. If you don't worship him or you go against his orders you go to concentration camps where they make you work till you died or starve to death. This makes most people in the country scared. We watched a video where it showed Kim Jong ll death and you can see that they are fake sad and crying probably because they are so scared they will get in trouble. I think North Korea is a terrible country because it's forcing people to do things or just live a life that is controlled they never show them what the real world looks like or how in other countries the have freedom in speech and in other things. If it was still Korea then all those people would not me starving or scared because they would be free.

  24. The people of North Korea live in very bad conditions. The children are malnourished and there is not enough food to support all of the people. Citizens have no access to electronics or the internet and their every move is being watched by security cameras across the country. Nobody can come in or out of the country. The people are brainwashed to believe that all the leaders are never wrong and they do things to benefit the people. Nobody knows exactly what goes on in the inside of North Korea, and the citizens do not know what goes on any where else.
