In Asia, China and North Korea did many things to maintain control. China was under Mao and North Korea is totalitarian. Mao Zedong was China 's leader and Kim Jong Un is North Korea 's leader. Both China and North Korea used indoctrination, propaganda, censorship, persecution, and dictatorship to maintain control. In China, Mao Zedong had led a cultural revolution that brought a form of government called Communism to the country in 1949. He launched the Cultural Revolution in order to maintain that system. First he would use indoctrination to get kids to know he is like the “god” and they need to show loyalty and follow his rules. A group called red guards pledged their devotion to Chairman Mao and the revolution. They were mostly students and teenagers who were part of this group. They wanted to smash the old, non-maoist way of life, by destroying buildings, beat and even kill alleged enemies. One example is …show more content…
Both leaders also use propaganda as a method of control. Mao and Kim Jong Un both used paintings, advertisements, and posters to show that they were the best and people need to show love to them. One Example is Mao would have pictures of people holding red books to show that if you did not have one you were not part of the revolution and you would be punished if not. Also, Kim jong Un had pictures of him as the sun to symbolize that he is like the “god” but if you get to close to the sun there would be serious consequences. Kim Jong Un uses censorship but mao did not really use it. Kim Jong Un uses censorship on media. He controls the news, what people search up, etc. He lets people have no privacy and controls their lives. One example that proves this is Kim Jong-un has his police force go house-to-house to search for illegal DVDs, movies , shows , Etc that 's he does not want people to see or have. He does not want people to see the outside world. (videos) this shows how he gives his people no privacy and they have limits and rules for doing what they
Mao Zedong got power by refusing to settle for traditional ways. He played a big role in a lot of organizations. He became one of the founding members of the communist party. Mao got power in 1949-76. Communism is the founding political party.
In cambodia, the uprising was much different from Stalin to Khmer Rouge. Khmer Rouge was lead by Pol Pot, a man originally from Vietnam but moved to france becoming a powerful leader as a communist. Pol Pot eventually became one of the most powerful communist leaders of all time. He then starts the group Khmer Rouge and takes over Cambodia. Another very important detail creating difference between the two hardships in two different countries would be the amount of time the country was under distress because of their cruel leaders.
“All political power comes from the barrel of a gun.” - Mao Zedong (Chairman Mao). Mao Zedong was Chairman Mao, the leader of China during the Cultural Revolution. The Cultural Revolution took place from 1966 to 1976. The memoir Red Scarf Girl by Ji-li Jiang was written about the life of a young girl, Ji-li, who lived through these hard times.
Any outspoken person of Mao was attacked. The Cultural revolution worked. After Mao Zedong’s death and Hua Guofeng, essentially a Mao fanboy, failed as his successor, Deng Xiaoping took over control of China and basically saved the country. Deng Xiaoping started to undo some of Mao’s policies and began to open up the country. Xiaoping wanted to shift away from Maoism and began to institute 4 modernization to help China grow.
Chairman Mao Zedong’s Great Proletarian Revolution created scarring effects on the Chinese youth of the time. Chairman Mao’s propaganda encouraged the young population to revolt against the old systems, to give up their education and to support and participate in his revolution. Finally, Mao’s policies stripped the youth of their identities and created a generation of mindless and uneducated adults. These actions taken by Mao and his communist government failed to achieve their goals and forced the entire population to suffer through a decade of economic struggle. The youth of China were directly targeted and encouraged by Mao and the Communist government to destroy all old ideas, culture and customs by taking a violent role in the revolution.
Chairman Mao devised a plan to expel the “Four Olds” – old habits, manners, customs and culture (E). This would involve destruction of any symbols or objects of traditional China, such as historical sights and cultural relics (E). This strategy also meant many people would have their precious belongings destroyed. The Chinese were forced to forget their traditional customs and culture and those who refused were considered opposition to Mao (F). Mao formed a paramilitary group, the Red Guard, to implement this campaign which was made up of the Chinese youth.
They have complete dominance over everything their people see. The government selects what society witnesses on the news, and often even changes or gives completely different information to keep them under their full control. For example, when Montag is on the run after the book incident, the government loses track of him and falsely orchestrates Montag’s apprehension. They refuse to allow society to have any sort of thought that they do not have complete control over them; which perfidiously, they do. In reality, foreign reporters struggle to get any good and truthful information from China.
The values of North Korean society are further demonstrated through the way in which men and women are portrayed. There are clear gender roles established at the beginning as Un is seen by Gyong Chan and Nam Chol, the chauffeur for the head of the research institute, as bossy and overdramatic when she brings them to Traffic Controller Office for breaking the traffic laws. Even though they broke the rules, they don’t believe they need to punished for it and are visibly annoyed when she punishes them for their actions. Un is in a role of power in the film, but that power is repeatedly undermined throughout the film. When her mother finds out that Un ticketed a family friend, she questions her decision and suggests to her daughter that she try
Grace Fair April 20th, 2023 Mr. Selitto World History China DBQ Mao and Deng both transformed China in similar and different ways. Mao tended to be harsher, wanting everyone to conform to his idea of the cultural revolution of China. While Deng wanted people to have more capitalistic ideas, allowing people to run things themselves without harsh control from the government. This DBQ will discuss how China ran under the similar and different political, diplomatic, and economic rules of Mao and Deng.
The transition of power in China changed the dynamics of post-World War II relations. For the United States, the so-called “Loss of China” was a a catastrophe, not only because the US supported Chiang Kai-shek in the last few years, but also because it seems to be a victory for the Soviet Union and the global Communism. For China, in 1949 started for the first time in its history the possibility to build foreign relations without being “suppressed by unequal treaties” by western powers. But China‘s relations to other countries remained very complicated and complex.
When China's influences took place with both Korea and Japan, the practices created similar/different societies using the same techniques. China had strong ties with Japan and Korea due to regional trading; it's apparent that the Chinese culture had a significant impression upon the cultures of both
Many revolutions have similar characteristics whether they are non fiction or fictional. This is shown in the Korean War and in Animal Farm. Even though the revolution in Animal Farm is Fictional a lot of the characteristics to the Korean War or Korean Revolution are alike. Throughout the course of the Korean War, North Korea’s leader Kim Il-Sung, had similar characteristics to Animal Farm’s Napoleon, such as they were both dictators.
Mao Zedong was a Chinese communist leader and is the founder of the People’s Republic of China. Mao was born on the 26th of December 1893 into a poor peasant family in Shaoshan, in Hunan province, which is a province in central China. After becoming a founding member of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921, Mao has greatly influenced and shaped China into what it is today. He is regarded as one of the most controversial leaders of the twentieth century as a result of the widespread impacts and hardships that the Chinese people had to endure as a result of his policies and reformations. Firstly, the impacts and effects of the Great Leap Forward, which turned out to be a disaster, killing between 20-40 million people and ironically sending China backwards.
Overcoming numerous difficulties and struggles, by October 1, 1949, Mao became the chairman of the Communist Party and founded the new communist People’s Republic of China, governing the country until today. China’s glorious leader during his lifetime proved to be an exceptional hero of China to certain circumstances, leaving influential history behind for the future generation. Mao Zedong displayed incredible and positive leadership traits during the Long March Campaign. During Mao’s time in the CCP, the party encountered continuous conflicts with the Kuomintang nationalist party (KMT) led by Chiang Kai Shek as both sides considered
China’s leader Mao implemented a program called Mao’s Great Leap Forward program this program told peasant framers when to plant crops, what to plant and how much to plant. Also peasants were required to turn over a third of their crops for taxed that was meant to feed the cities. In return the presents were made promises from the government such as the commune would provide workers with food, medical care, and other necessities. This contributed to the people starving and going to great lengths to survive such as trading children and killing and eating them, at this time famine was widespread and killing many people in China. Mao ruled for over twenty-seven years and during that time, “he had doomed China’s people to become some of the poorest on the planet”.
