17. What is life like in North Korea?
The North Korean government has many ways in which it brainwashes its people. When visiting North Korea, you will find signs posted everywhere that say things such as, “Hail Great Kim Jong Il!”; “If the Communist party decides it, we will do it”; “Let’s beat America with a big iron stick!” All North Koreans must attend a class every Tuesday where they copy Kim Jong Il’s speeches or recite them until they are memorized. There is no electricity for the common people. While the government spends money to build nuclear weapons and throw parties, they ask the North Korean people to eat only two meals per day. Ordinary citizens do not have cars, underwear, refrigerators, or heaters. North Koreans have all seen or heard about the black vehicle that comes to people’s homes and takes them away, never to be seen again. Prisoners in North Korea are beaten, tortured, and forced to work hard labor. There is so little food in prison that prisoners eat the maggots in the outhouses and the earthworms in the manure.
