I knew that North Korea and the US had high tensions for many years. This has been due to the rising use of Communism within the country. My knowledge was linear and not very expansive. I am interested in this due to my own safety. If war breaks out, will I be safe? Can we deal with this problem? I also have friends in the military, so it scares me for their safety and well-being.

(Opinion Article and online newspaper: Against my opinion)

"My visit left me thinking that Trump’s entire strategy rests on a series of fundamental and dangerous misconceptions," said Nicholas Kristof. He writes for The New York Times. The New York Times is considered to be a pretty liberal news source. Many articles on the page are in opposition of Trump and his policies, which further display the liberal stereotype. Another source I used was Morning Express by HLN. This morning I was watching TV and the subject of North Korea. To my surprise they kept it unbiased and just stated factual information. I was surprised due to HLN being a part of CNN. I agreed with one, but disagreed with The New York Times article. He is too passive aggressive and I don't believe his plan would work. Talking to North Korea hasn't helped in the past and it won't help now.

The article tells of the US Navy putting warships in the Pacific Ocean to send a signal to North Korea and China. I agree that we need to be more aggressive towards North Korea because the negotiation hasn't worked in the past. During the Clinton administration, the US tried to have talks with North Korea, but this obviously did not work as tensions are higher today. I don't think the way Trump is handling it is the best, but I do agree with him in the sense that they are a major threat.

(Discussion with my mom)
My mom, which has typically liberal views, actually sides with the more conservative views when it comes to North Korea. She believes that Kim Jong-un should be assassinated. I agree, but he has a whole legion of people behind him who support his ideas. North Korea is a much bigger problem than just Kim Jong-un.

I chose the tensions with North Korea because it is a serious and extensive problem. I admit I was poorly informed, but this project expanded my knowledge and ideas on the subject. It was good to see that many classmates had the same views as me, while many others differed from me. We all see North Korea as a problem, but many of us have different ideas on ways we can solve our problem.  All of my sources seemed credible, they just may have had biases. Every news source had a deep past with credibility. The only suspicious one was "The Express" because I had never heard of it. With some research I found that this has been published since 1900. I learned many things from the media sources I used. I knew that people had opposing views and they want to deal with the situation in different ways, but I didn't know the extent to which people were divided and the intensity of the problem.
