NORTH KOREAN GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE'S LIFESTYLE

By: Wendy M. Victor Fuentes.

NORTH KOREA

1

  • Officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK or DPR Korea).
  • Its active duty army of 1.21 million is the fourth largest in the world.
  • It possesses nuclear weapons.

The "Great Successor"

Essential understandings

Kim Jong-Un

But the “Great Successor,” as he is called by the regime, has turned out to be every bit as brutal as his father and grandfather before him.

The Supreme Leader of North Korea since 2011 and Leader of the Workers' Party of Korea since 2012.

When Kim Jong Un became the leader of North Korea almost six years ago, many North Koreans thought that their lives were going to improve.

ARMY

  • North Korean men must stay in the army for at least six years.

ECONOMY

4

  • A country where the state provides everything, including housing, health care, education and jobs.
  • People work in factories and fields, but there is little for them to do, and they are paid almost nothing.

The Farmer

“Technically, you don’t have to pay to go to school, but the teachers tell you that you have to submit a certain amount of beans or rabbit skins that can be sold. If you don’t submit, you get told off continuously, and that’s why students stop going to school. The kids are hurt just because the parents can’t afford it”.

FAMILY

5

  • If a man comes from the family of a high-ranking party member, and a woman from a family that does not have a comparable sociopolitical status, a marriage between the two would not be approved of by the society.
  • There are many twins and triplets without parents, like these triplets singing at an orphanage.
  • Upon marriage, a couple is given a house or, if they live in an urban area, an apartment.

6

HUMAN RIGHTS

  • North Korean women are routinely subjected to sexual violence, unwanted sexual contact, and rape.
  • The International Coalition to Stop Crimes Against Humanity in North Korea (ICNK) estimates that over 10,000 people die in North Korean prison camps every year.

“Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.”

—Kahlil Gibran.
