NORTH KOREA is worse, by leaps and bounds.


North Korea is probably the worst place in the world to live with frequent famines, poor human rights, dictatorial oppression, and other massive violations of the personal dignity of its inhabitants. By contrast, South Korea is a first-world country on par with the United States, Canada, Australia, Western Europe, and Japan. The only thing that detractors say about South Korea is that the modern South Korean culture is increasingly materialistic and less reflective of historic Korean values than North Korea is. However, you can live a very traditional life in South Korea; it just happens that most of South Korea's youth do not want to.

North Korea! It's because of the way people are dying each year of starvation, death to those who've tried to escape, the people don't have freedom of speech and that it's a slave state.

Is the conflict between South Korea and North Korea over?

No. In fact, it just seems to get worse. There was an incident before Olympics that angered many people on both sides. Maybe one day the conflicts will be resolved and the 38th parallel will be eliminated, but for now, the two country remains separated.


Why is North Koreans such haters?

Because they're told that everything outside of North Korea is worse. They believe that the supreme leader ( Kim Jong-un) is a kind of a god.


Why does North Korea use propaganda?

North Korea is not the only country that uses propaganda. Every country in the world does; it is just much harder to recognize propaganda in your own country. We notice North Korean propaganda because it is more ridiculous and overstated than most countries' propaganda. The reason North Korea uses propaganda is to create a society less willing to revolt against the North Korean government. Currently, the North Korean government starves many of its own people, lacks any serious internet capabilities, requires all of its citizens to belong to the Juche religion (worshiping the previous leaders of North Korea like gods), and place hundreds of thousands of prisoners in camps. Any sensible group of people under those conditions would at least consider rebellion. However, the North Korean government has carefully calibrated the propaganda machine in its own country to "inform people" that the world outside of North Korea is significantly worse and the US, South Korea, and Japan are all conspiring to hurt the North Korean people. In this way, the tyrannical North Korean government looks like a hero as opposed to the monstrous villain that it is.


When was North Korea run by the USSR?

After World War II and the Japanese defeat, the Japanese occupation left Korea. USA and the USSR split up Korea to be managed by the two super powers, the USSR in the north and USA in the south, to be later unified in a single election. However, as relations between the two grew worse with the progression of the Cold War, the 38th parallel division became more and more permanent. Eventually, Communist and Moscow-trained Kim Il-Sung became leader for the Democratic's People of Republic of Korea and the USSR troops departed.


What was a major event that caused the American Civil War and how?

A major event was the conflict between the North and South about how African Americans should be treated. The South thought they should be slaves while the North thought opposite. Fights began to go through and it got worse and worse until a war began.


Why shouldn't North and South Korea remove the DMZ and get back to one country?

There is nothing saying they can't....BUT there would be some major issues that arise out of it. The first is what kind of government will the unified Korea have? I'm sure the folks in the south don't want to live under a pseudo-communist kingship that the north currently has, and the elites in the north don't want to give up their absolute power and privelage. Second is the economical impact. The south has a booming, thriving economy. The north's is essentially non-existant. If the two were to reunify, it would have some severe economic backlash, worse even than when the Germanies reunited. Third, does China really want a thriving, liberal democracy on it's southern border? And what would it do if that were to happen?


Is Vietnam better or worse off because the North Vietnamese won?

Vietnam today seems to be doing fairly well under their communist government. However, if the south had prevailed (RVN-Republic of South Vietnam), then the RVN might be in the same category as todays ROK (Republic of South Korea). And ROK is profiting quite well in the global trade market. Some of their automobiles are of the finest quality!

Why would African Americans have fled from the south to the north after the Emancipation Proclamation?

When I was a kid (say just a half century ago), there were still "white" and "colored" signs in Washington DC. 150 years ago it was even worse, and the farther south you went, the worse it got. If you were smart, you ran.


Why does communism appeal and still exist today in North Korea?

Communism does still exist in North Korea, but it does not actually appeal to the citizens. The reason why it still exists is that the citizens have nothing else to compare it to since they are basically cut off from news media and television. North Korea is also a totalitarian state where any political opposition is crushed with torture and unending jail sentences, a significant percentage of the country is uneducated, millions die of hunger, and people are told to believe that the rest of the world is even worse off than they are.
