1. A person who comes from a place with right to privacy and freedom of speech would definitely visit the prison of North Korea, just like the other 120,000 state prisoner who are held not for criminal offense but for just voicing their opinion.
2. The World Wide Web provides us information about things happening around us. In North Korea, you see what the government wants you to see on the World Wide Web. I cannot image surfing the net and not seeing any news from around the world.
3. Travelling has been a huge part of my life. I just cannot image asking permission from the government before leaving the country every single time. It would make me feel claustrophobic.

For example, on the day of 9/11 in New York terrorist they destroyed the World Trade Center, and damaged the Pentagon near Washington D.C and on Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941 the Empire of Rising sun sank most of the U.S Pacific fleet in Hawaii. These 2 specific events have a huge impact on America and the whole nation. Because of the attacks on pearl harbor and 9/11 there was a lot of hate and racism too japanese and islamic people. Prejudice became more common toward each race.
Safi also made it known that terrorism is happening everywhere. However, the world only seems to care when it takes place in a major city, or cities in the West. In order to beat this problem, the world must open their hearts and “let the light permeate us,” (Safi, par. 36). Sadly, in today`s world, any religious violence that occurs is immediately associated with Islam. Many people in the world isolate Muslims because of the fear that all Muslims are bad.
In the 1800s, slavery in the South was common. African Americans were treated so horribly that they got whipped and beaten as a punishment. They were even allowed to have basic human rights. Basic human rights include having the right to have freedom and control of yourself. For example, in Document 1: A Speech by Frederick Douglas (1850), it says "The law gives the master absolute power over the slave."
The terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 had an enormous impact all across the United States. Since this life changing event the United States has taken extreme measures to ensure the safety of all American citizens. This deadly attack has led to many changes in Immigration and security (Krikorian 567). It has also contributed to the unnecessary judgements against ethnic backgrounds and religion (Chavez 563). The increase of racial profiling, fear and paranoia, upgrades in security, and decrease in immigration are all factors that contribute to the results of 9/11.
Because the attacks were done by Muslims this has affected the lives of Muslims living in
Nothing to Envy Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick is a must read for anyone interested in North Korea. Because North Korea is isolated from the rest of the world, this novel gives readers a chance to explore these foreign grounds. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the different experiences each of the six defectors went through while living there as well as escaping. Numerous North Koreans are starving and living in poor conditions till this day; yet, amidst all of their hardships, they found love, learned, and enjoyed. My favorite part of the novel was the star-crossed lovers story of two defectors.
(U) North Korea (NK), although isolated, have developed their own cultural aspects over the decades. The civilian considerations, such as PMESII/ASCOPE, in NK comes in many shapes and forms. The cultural aspects of NK are dependent on and significantly affected by these considerations. The culture of NK varies from the political to the information considerations in PMESII/ASCOPE.

According to ijtihad, Muslims can explain and control the extent of their Islamic practices individually as long as they are directed towards the will of God in their Islamic community (“Religious Basis for Islamic Terrorism: The Quran and Its Interpretations” ). The Middle East’s religion plays a role politics. The important role of religion in politics emerged slightly from the history of the region.
There are over 120,000 people in North Korean prison camps. Over 400,000 people have died in the North Korean prison camps. Shin Dong-H yuk, author from CNN says, “ The people chose the system and that they are happy”. They are really lying to the rest of the world and everyone knows that the concentration camps exist and it is hard to deny but they are doing it.
Rarely are terrorist organizations driven by “pure lust for power” (Drake, 1998). Most groups are motivated by an ideology which influences their decisions. Ideological foundations of a group may initially suggest the use violence,
In September 11, 2001 there was a terrorist attack. The terrorist attack happened by these terrorist that hijacked three planes, two of them crashed in both buildings at The World Trade Center and the last plane crashed into the Pentagon in Virginia. This affected people because it alerted them that there were terrorists invading their country.

Two actions about what the U.S. did for the terrorism is that the people in the country started to wear the American flag and put them in their porches and cars.
Across the world, many people have faced hard times. But few challenges can compare to the Dust Bowl, escaping a life of poverty, or living in North Korea. In the 1930s, farmers were being traumatized by huge blankets of dust known as the Dust Bowl. Many Americans today are living in poverty.
Probably the only country in the world that totally rejects globalization, North Korea, upon becoming a separate country in 1948 when the Korean peninsula was divided into two separate countries in the aftermath of WWII, has emerged today as the world’s most enduring isolated totalitarian socialist society in recent history, according to Freedom House. Trapped somewhere amid a medieval monarchy and a communist party-state, North Korea has been ruled under an iron fist doctrine for more than half a century by the dynastic succession Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-Il and Kim Jong-un (hereinafter referred to as the Kims) still exhibiting many features of the typical Stalinist political system and bureaucratic regime, emphasizing the one man–centered
