Similarities Between Anthem And North Korea

The Australian government and the North Korean government are both similar and yet different in their structure and system of government. The Australian government is both a democracy and constitutional monarchy with queen Elizabeth second as head of state where as the north Korean government is ruled by one man, the president Kim II sung who rules north Korea as a dictatorship both countries have political parties that assist in ruling the country. Australia is made up of a number of parties that represent the people, whereas North Korea have one party; Korean workers party. Both countries have different systems of government, Australian government is made up of 3 arms of government, these include the parliament, the executive and the judiciary.

The government structure of North Korea has its existence in one man, Kim Jong Un. It existed in his father, Kim Jong Il, before him, and in his grandfather, Kim Il-sung, before him. North Korea has one of the few successful hereditary dictatorships based on a personalistic regime where the leaders are worshipped as almost a deity (after Kim Il-sung’s death he was made “eternal president”) creating a dynastic transfer of power (Aoki, 2012). In China the one party of the Chinese Communist Party will rule as an Authoritarian body over the nation, but in North Korea the sole power rest dangerously in the arms of one person. Some of the reason for this dissimilarity between the two government structures lies in the country’s differing political cultures.

North Korea is the subject of one supreme leader, Kim Jong-un. The executive branch involves the head of government, Premier PAK Pong Ju and vice premiers, and the cabinet- also known as ‘Naegak’ - both are elected by the Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA) (CIA World Fact Book). The SPA is North Korea's “rubber-stamp legislature”, with 687 delegates (Inside North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly, 2015 ), they come under the legislative branch and are also known as ‘Ch'oego Inmin Hoeui.’ The Judicial branch is headed by The Supreme Court, here the judges are chosen by the SPA. Despite this three-way division of power, balance and checks have no meaning in North Korea - “a country characterised by a one-party dictatorship” (Understanding North Korea, 2012). The North Korean legal system involves a “civil law system based on the Prussian model”, inspired by Communist legal theory. (CIA World Fact Book)

North Korea is a totalitarianism that is considered the strictest in the world. Among other things, North Korea has been selected as the nastiest in the world when it comes to press freedom. All the media in North Korea are controlled by the regime and top managers sitting on important party posts. For example, in every home in North Korea there is a radio fit in the wall. The radio cannot be turned off and out of it, it sends out North Korea propaganda.

Most people probably think 1984 is completely fiction, but there are many drastic similarities between 1984 and North Korean Society. These societies have forced labor camps, powerful dictators or government parties, and the use of propaganda. Both of these societies slowly gained power over many years and took full control of their country or territory. On the other hand, they differ when it comes to they way they designed their governments. Both 1984’s and North Korea's societies are similar in the ways they control, torture, and deprive their people, but differ when it comes to government organization.

Barbara Demick, an American journalist once wrote, “One of the ways the North Korea regime has kept power is by keeping its people ignorant of the living standards in the outside world. That's the underlying lie that supports the regime” (“Barbara Demick Quotes”). North Korean citizens do not believe their country is “normal”, instead Koreans believe their country is better off. At birth, North Koreans are oppressed into thinking their way of life is the best. If a citizen were to disobey these protocols their punishment would be atrocious. Hence, Frontline’s The Secret State of North Korea reveals how ordinary citizens are resisting one of the world’s most oppressive regimes. In the movie documentary, viewers are able to see North Korea in a way they have never seen it before. Likewise, viewers become aware of the way North Koreans are brought up from birth and many experiences they have throughout their lifetime.

North Korea, also known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has the fourth largest Army in the world. They have an estimated 1.2 million troops with a population of over 24 million people in 2011. Their leader is the most powerful dictator in the world, Kim Jong Un. Kim Jong Un took power back in December 2011 after his father suffered a heart attack and died. Nevertheless, Kim Jong Il’s legacy has

The conditions have changed after Kim il sung had died. After his death from a heart attack his son Kim Jong ill became the supreme leader of the regime, Furthermore he would say that my son will come the next leader after I die. Just after Kim died North Korea did not follow these rules, citizens would be thrown into prison camps for not showing respect to the leaders and regime. That was just one rule but there are more from not being allowed to follow another religion to

This is a country led by an individual who doesn’t have the country and its people’s best interests at heart. What he says goes, and this is a dangerous system as the rewards are low but risks high for society and the country as a cohesive unit. “Deadly attack dogs, kidnappings, public executions, starvation, thought-control, religious persecution and forced marriages. A new United Nations report reveals in grim detail how the North Korean government terrorizes its own people. It also declares the country’s young dictator, Kim Jong, guilty of crimes against humanity” (Smith). Kim Jong is a ruthless dictator who uses any means possible of oppression to subdue his people. The international community took a while to, but finally started to take action and labeled him as a criminal against

Most aspects of the lives of all North Korean citizens are dictated by the authoritarian regime in command. A harsh social hierarchy system dictates where you can live, work, and go to school, as well as decide your food supply, and access to medical care. In North Korea freedom of speech and political dissent are punished. If you dare speak out against the regime you may find yourself in forced labor camps, re-education camps, or even dead. It is a startling picture when contrasted with the personal freedoms we as American are so privileged to experience on a daily

The North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is considered like a totalitarian regime. The leader Kim Il-sung, his son and now his grand-son were considered like god, especially the first dictator. The entire population is sorted by a status classification system called Songbun: based on their behavior and the background of the whole family, (uncle and niece included) on three generations. If someone goes to jail, the whole family has to pay. That status can determine the access to adequate food, education, work and the possibility to join the ruling party. The population doesn’t have the freedom of association, expression and movement; the deviants can face arbitrary detention, torture or public execution. We can also find labors camps or total control zones where a lot of atrocities

North Korea or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is a country of dramatic contradictions. The capital, Pyongyang, is a city of colossal splendour, broad avenues, high-rise apartment buildings, showcase institutions, and endless tributes to the glories of 'Great Leader' Kim Il Sung, 'Dear Leader' Kim Jong Il, and North Korea’s home-grown 'Juche' ideology of self-reliance.

Under the rule of powerful dictator Kim Jong-Un, North Korea remains the single most repressive country in the entire world. The government is controlled by a single-party: the dynastic leadership of the Kim family, who do not tolerate diversity or multiculturalism and consistently deny their people of any basic freedoms. A 2014 United Nations Commission of Inquiry found that the abuses in North Korea were completely unparallelled with those in the modern world (Walker). There are countless examples of these offenses, but some of the most extreme include the lack of personal freedoms such as speech and religion, murder, enslavement, torture, imprisonment, rape, other sexual violence, and exterminations. This harsh and utterly diabolical treatment has been going on for over seventy years, and despite efforts from outside nations to stop it, nothing has changed. Through the regime’s rigorous indoctrination, the people of North Korea continue to be subject to some of the most inhumane and unrelenting treatment since that of the Jews in Nazi Germany. The lack of human rights possessed by the citizens of North Korea and the destructive impact it has on their lives makes it the most significant problem their society faces today.

North Korea is a Southeast Asian country that is on the Korean Peninsula. Pyongyang is the capital and also the largest city in North Korea as well. North Korea has no official religion and is an Atheist state. North Korea is a country that is not like any other.
