How does the standard of living in South Korea differ from that in North Korea?

Answer 1

The governing styles in South Korea are drastically different than those in North Korea.

South Korea is considered a first class, safe and efficient country. Living in places such as The US, the only things that could be found odd are mostly mandatory military service for men under 30 years, and that abortion is illegal. Food is, for the most part, not a hardship in South Korea. Seoul is a huge, high class city and a lot of the country is farmland.

In both countries, the climate is mild, but on the cold side.

The North Korean government is strict, and although technically a republic, remains a Dictatorship. A modern day feudalism can be noticed, with around %90 of the population living outside the capital, P'yongyang, and food situation is scarce.

For the other %10 percent, life is fairly good - P'yongyang has a great university, specializing in language, but the city is mostly made of government officials and their families.

Laws are strict and bad things that are said about the government are federally punishable. For most of the country, leaving is not allowed.

Answer 2

WELL north Korea is a centralized paranoid communism. its got a poor economy and cant even support its own people. torists have to be with a guide at all times they still do public exicutions. in north Korea they cant practice freedom of press unless it shows the government in a positive view. radios and TVS are rigged to play only government approved channles. that being said north Korea only has 38 TV stations. they ban moble phones. they shut off all power from 12 midnight to 8 in the morning and most of there factorys are abandoned from lack iof funding. the mass majority of the remaining factorys make weapons. also talking crap about there leader is worth the death penalty and they give out food in frount of his statue also north Korea has the 4th biggest militry in the world. lastly they threaten nukes on everyone except there allies which are Russia, china and i think Japan. also they spent less then 40 bil dollars on imports per year.

south koreas economy is booming, they trade on the free market, they have a great nation with a slightly corrupt democracy. and a medium sized military. pretty much everything i said about NK is opposite to SK
