What did you find interesting about the documentary "Inside North Korea"? Discuss some of the connections to sociology from this documentary. (1-2 paragraphs)
One of the things i found most interesting about North Korea was they had absolutely no family photos or even scrapbooks. The only photos they own were of their "great leader". It seems disturbing to me because it doesnt seem that a family can be a family. They all care more for their leader than their mother or father or even their siblings. This connects to Sociology because their environment that the North Koreans live in is unfathomable. Its disgusting to even think that children are being tortured and taught that the life they are living, is the best they will ever get. They dont have freedom to be a kid like others do. They are completely forced into a life that has to be 100% perfect and if they make the slightest mistake must serve a consequence.
The one thing that I found interesting about this video was how much they worship the "great leader" and that they will do anything for him. All the books are written by him and all pictures have to be him also. They act like the great leader can't do anything wrong. This connects to Sociology because this culture is run by a dictator that controls everything they do. There actions, behaviors, beliefs are all for the great leader. It's disturbing to me that they follow the great leader so blindly never doubting what he does or they believe everything he does is for them. As he's the one that starts famines, makes concentration camps for his people, no family pictures, any fun, no outside connections, and little medical supplies. While he lives a wealthy life with tons of food, cars, and internet. But they still worship him as a god. If you doubt the great leader, try to leave the country, or make a mistake to them its considered a sin and you must serve the consequences not just you but your whole entire bloodline is being punished for it or even killed for it. They are forced to have perfect lives they cant have there own ideas, opinions, beliefs, music, not even entertainment like if I had to sit there and listen to the granddaughter sing as entertainment I would be bored outta my mind. I would not survive two minutes in Korea . I would never go there it just sounds like a terrible place to be in.
The one thing I found interesting in this documentary was how much they worship the dear leader. Every family has pictures of the dear leader all over their house but no pictures of their family. This connects to sociology because the great leader is in charge of all the customs, beliefs, and food given to the people. The people in North Korea have no say in what they do or how they do it. If they choose to fight against the country their whole family will be killed.
What I found interesting was how much power the great leader had over their food sources. And how he would kill them off if he wanted too. They all believe and worship him with no matter of all the things he does wrong. This connects to sociology because in some way someone should be able to have their own beliefs but it seems as though they have to believe in him and worship him or he will kill you or send you to a concentration camp.
Kim jong un rules north korea as a doctator and instills fear then molds it into ubwavering love, constant beleif, and pacticed praise towards the dear leader. the great leader rations food and water without hestitaion or mercy. people are to afraid to oppose him and his army. anything will offend the son of god and your whole family will be sent the death. koreans have restrictions placed upon them by the dear leader. medical care is non existent and reuse what ever is avaible to them.
One thing I found interesting about North Korea is the respect and loyalty they have for their great leader. I find it unreal to have such faith in a human being and truly believe that they can do nothing wrong. One thing I really noticed was how every person healed of their blindness thanked the great leader. The doctor who performed over 1,000 surgeries did not get a single thank you. This connects to sociology because they live in such a different society than us. Their society revolves completely around the great leader and continue to believe that they live a life because of him. It seems as though they must live in fear and can’t even be their own person.
I found it interesting that their great leader had control on the rations of food they got. They all worship him no matter all the wrong things he does. This connects to sociology because they should be able to have their own beliefs but it seems that they are afraid to disrespect their leader.
One thing I found surprising about the article was how genuine all the people were in their love to their dear leader. All of these people worship their leader like he is a god. I wonder if some of these people actually do love their leader or if they are just really good at faking it out of fear. If they are just pretending they are very good at it because I would expect anyone under this much control to be fearful of this man but they marvel at his existence and they don't even give it a second thought when asking an opinion of him. They are so used to their lifestyle it might just be their nature. This connects to sociology because it shows how much the North Korean society revolves on this one source of dependence and trust it's literally a social norm to behave this way.
