North Korea

Recently in a couple of my classes the topic of communism has arose and with that in one class we saw a documentary about North Korea. North Korea’s political views are influenced heavily by communists. Before Korea split in two they were not communistic, it was not until after World War II and Korea split into North and South did North Korea became a communist country. After the war and the division of Korea North Korea became dominant and tried to overthrow South Korea, they failed. South Korea disagrees with the ideology of North Korea they made communism illegal. Communism may seem a good political view, but it's all about perspective. Communism, for those in power, might seem good but for the lower classes it is a nightmare. Your have no freedom what so ever. Everything is owned by the government, nothing is yours. Those in lower classes have to follow their rule or die, that is why communism is terrible. An average person starts to learn about their dictator at a very young age. They are taught only that their master is the greatest and nothing else. They have no internet, no books other than the ones who teach about the same topic, and no media outside of their country. This means they have no idea about anything outside of their country. They are brainwashed and praise their dictator without hesitation, they have no clue of the horrors they live through. This would not be an ideal spot to visit.
