Freedom from North Korea

“When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.”

George Martin

Living in a life that we are unable to have our own rights of what to do is not okay. Humankind, sharing the same planet shouldn’t be in control of each other and should learn to accept each other and let each other have their own rights. North Korea is one of the most extreme places on Earth with the government strictly banning all types of media and limits rights for citizens. I disagree how North Korea forces their citizens of what to do, most of them aren’t even allowed to leave the country. I believe that everyone deserves to have their own rights and should have freedom from North Korea.

First of all, I understand that the North Korean government wants their citizens to use North Korean products and wants their citizens to see the positive way of how the president treat them. The North Korean government has authority but I think they should let their citizens have freedom and be able to access the outside world. In my opinion, I think this is torture for the people because how the government actually treats their citizens is horrible. Most of the North Koreans can’t even afford to buy TV to entertain themselves, so I think that they may have better lives outside of North Korea since because it is a poor country that mostly spends their money on military.

North Korea blocks the internet and bans the mobile devices from the citizens, only some high-level officials are allowed to access the global internet. I believe that everyone should have their own device and is able to access whatever they want because it is their choice. There was a case that there was a North Korean man that have accessed a South Korean network then that man got caught by the government, after that he go executed for accessing the outside world. This event not only shows how much the government wants to use their own source, but also shows the negative side of the government.

I think by North Korea executing their own citizens will lead to other people wanting to leave the country and make people from all over the world think bad of North Korea. Already, people have attempted to escape the country, but most attempts didn’t go successfully, resulting in either death or get sent to a concentration camp. People want to leave this nation because those people feel trapped, being unable to give opinions or explore the whole world. I think the way of how the North Korean supreme leader rules his country is just extreme. Why does the president take care of his citizen’s like this? He wants other people to see him as a good person but the way of him doing “good” is a cruel thing.

To sum up, the government has authority. However, they shouldn’t use their power in bad way. I think North Korea should connect with the outside world, to improve their nation in many ways. I believe that everyone deserves human rights and nobody should go through what happens in North Korea, so we should look on what is happening on some part of the world.
