What I think
It's time to get a little bit gossipy here and expect that North Korea will never find out about it just like in our slumber parties, if you are a girl...
In the past few weeks I've seen and learned a lot of the globalized world, but only North Korea has been stuck in my mind like if it was a pop song pinned in the top 100 of the Billabong Billboard. So grab a chair (duh! you are already sitted) and listen or read whatever is you punks do now.

We all know that North Korea has a communist government and has, for a long time now, had a war with South Korea attempting to rule it but big brother USA won't allow it and neither does SK who doesn't wish to live under such government (and I don't blame them). We all know this story from our class History 101 or if you have seen any movie about it, but let me now really get into what I want to say, well more like write.
Last week, in my Globalization and Communication class, we saw Inside North Korea BBC Panorama News about how supposedly it ruled its land. Supposedly because the government only allowed to tape what they wanted and went baffling lies. For example, the reporters went touring a hospital with absolutely no patients in it and no doctor spoke of them, they just avoided the subject despite the insistent question about them. Later on an anonymous doctor was interviewed revealing the truth about the health care.
Let's say, if you are proud of what you have and it's real why wouldn't you let people see it and show it off? Because it's not their, you are most probably hiding something.
It's not new to us to learn that North Korea is making weapons (if it is please, stop and read your news) Though as we see in the videos they are preparing for a uprising war with South Korea, but in reality nothing seems to be going on at the moment in their so called dangerous border (knock on wood I don't want to give that poor land bad luck). No official is actually guarding it.
But one of the things that truly shocked me was the forced labor camps and how they resemble concentration camps. In the video, the people giving the tour didn't want them to be taped actually. They asked the guest to turn off their devices and to abstain of taking any picture. Weird, specially when your guest are actual reporters.They didn't event want them to be seen at all as if they weren't there and it was part of a dream maybe. Why, why are they hiding these?

These forced labor camps are prision to koreans who refuse to be comunist or dare to go against the sayings of their government. So their is no liberty of expression (yes, super hyper new fact nobody knew, right?) and also the internet is banned and why wouldn't it be if their dictator Kim Jung-un is an internationally known meme who is mocked to behave as a kid.
If it really wasn't a concentration camp the North Korean government wouldn't mind these prisions getting on tape. Why? Let's go a bit back in history and remember the end of the WWII. All nazis were judge for war crimes and punished equally as their victims, which it meant to be tortured in labor camps and then merciless killed. Even Hitler knew what he was going to face and he decided to cowardly run away and take his life as rumor has it. And Germany was split to avoid any other upcoming war.
North Korea resemble me a bit to Nazi Germany. The propaganda that went out in the country and off from it said that nothing wrong was happening and they were preparing the world for a brighter future. Also that its population was happy to live in there. Maybe in North Korea we don't get to hear much of their inhabitants but if we ask someone, they are happy, aren't they? (Shh... don't upset them!)

If the "prisions" in North Korea were discovered to truly be concentration camps expect no less punishment as the nazis, and this is not good for them. It will mean the immenent destrucion of a North Korea and korean culture as we know it. So they decide just to shove it underneath the rug and pretend everything is good and happy.
What troubles me is the fact that people are dying in there with no one ever to treat them as the humans they are, just because they wanted to go a different way. I'm not against communism, but neither I'm pro communism. I believe that every country should have it's own government that works for them but never ever put on the line the human rights and lifes.
I fear if this isn't contained and its kept growing in some few or maybe much more years there will be a war, North Korea is getting ready for it... That is how this affects me, the fear of a sudden war that I still don't know who will be fighting it but I asure you, my neighbouring country, USA, will be part of it. I just hope their battlefield is somwhere there is no mass destruction.
Well that's my gossip, thanks for reading/listening to my words. Please don't believe in conspiracy theories.
So long until next post!
