I think it is kind of funny. America does have starving people but they put themselves into that places because most of them have some sort of a addiction because we have our agency to choose if we buy drugs or a lot of video games when we can not even make our bills. North Korea people I feel like they are losing there trust in there president or the president thinks that the people will rebel. If the people did rebell the president would have to back down because one man cant control a whole country. I wonder how we got this video because if it was made in North Korea then how did we get it? This Video is just showing the North Korean people the bad part of the people who make poor choices. They dont show all the good and if we were to make a video of there Country and give it to them I dont know if they would think its bad. They have been raised up in a corrupted Country. All Countries have there flaws some more then others but America is the Greatest place to be on the Earth because we all have our Agency.

This just shows you how much contorl the governement in North Korea has. They cant even get a Facebook because the Government thinks that they might meet someone and that wouldnt be safe for the president. The President has cut off most of the relationships with the outside world so none of the people there will come up and state what that Country is doing is not the best. The goverment has so much power of the people they cant search anything world wide it is all North Korea. That would drive me crazy not knowing whats going on in the outsides. Maybe they get updates but probably not when they want to. How would you like to live in a Country were you are a prisonare just so your president can be selfish and not spend any money on the people and spends it all on himself? It doesnt sound like a very happy and self growing place. This Clip just shows you have much power the government has that they have to band Facebook/twiter/Myspace/ect...

Great job! I also wonder how they got this video, when North Korea is such a closed country. I love living in America too, we are able to use our agency because of our freedom. All people have agency even those in North Korea but it's what we do with that matters. I totally agree! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so strange to think about what the perspective of people living in North Korea might be. For all we know, they don't care about the outside world. But I know that I would go crazy not knowing what the rest of the world was like. This is a great topic, thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteI'm supposed to comment on your To Kill a Mockingbird post, so you better give me points on that one. I think it would be horrible to live in North Korea especially when you really don't have liberty to express what you think. I think the hardest part would be to be constantly worrying about what the dictator might do to you at any given time. It's true, everybody has their own agency, but I think the people should rebel and free themselves. Even if they die trying, it's better than living in North Korea.
ReplyDeleteIm in the same boat as Tyler! haha so this is for my comment on To Kill A Mockingbird because you didn't post that one yet. It is truly crazy that without freedom, knowledge, and access to truth a nation can truly become lost. There are so many good people who are stuck in circumstances just like North Korea, but they don't realize that it's wrong because that's all they have ever known. I agree that government should not have all the power! Government is supposed to protect and ensure people's freedom and not put them in bondage. Great Post! It's important for us to know and be informed about things going on around the world.
