Comparison of Dictatorship and Democracy

# data[].attributes.body
In North Korea they follow the Tyranny/Dictatorship form of government. In The United States of America they follow a Representative Democracy/Republic form of government. There are many BIG differences between the two forms of governments. A Tyranny/Dictatorship is a form of government where one person, has, controls, or leads with total power. A Representative Democracy/Republic is a form of government in which the citizens elect representatives to exercise the power for them. Although there are many differences between the two forms of government there is one main difference. In a Tyranny/Dictatorship the citizens don't have any freedom especially when it comes to how they are ruled. In a Representative Democracy/Republic the citizens have nothing but freedom especially when it comes to how they are ruled.

Some of the laws that the citizens must follow are the Three Generations Rule, Practicing Christianity, Interracial Relationships and Access to Non-State-Controlled Media. The Three Generations Rule states that if someone is sent to prison, their immediate family and the generations after that can also be sent to prison. They do that so they can attempt to "wipe out the 'seed' of class enemies." The Practicing Christianity Law states that if someone is caught practicing Christianity they will be sent to prison. The Interracial Relationships Law states that interracial relationships are not prohibited. This is in place because, "female defectors being  forced to have abortions after becoming pregnant in China." The Access to Non-State-Controlled Media states that all media is controlled by one party. This because, "The regime goes to great lengths to stop any outside media reaching its population. "

In North Korea they have elections but they are nothing like Americas elections. They make the voting  process very similar to the one in America. The citizens go into a room and get a ballot but they don't get much of  a choice. On the ballots that they are given to vote with, there is only one candidate from them to choose. So even though it seems like they have a choice because they are voting and they get a ballot but their choice is already chosen for them. After they vote they set their ballots into a special ballot box. In North Korea, the officials take the elections very seriously so, "abstaining or voting no would be a dangerous act of treason." Even though everyone knows that the elections are rigged, they still happen because they want to act like the "Democratic People's Republic" that they are.

In North Korea the government prohibits Independent Media, Prison and Labor Camps and Foreign Detentions. In North Korea they don't get to view outside media. All of the media that North Korean citizens see are strictly from a controlled state media site. In North Korea the Prison and Labor Camps are not anything positive in the minds of the citizens. Whenever someone is caught doing something "bad" in the eyes of the officials they are sent to a prison or labor camp depending one how "bad" what they did was. A Labor Camp is where the people must do, "physical work such as mining and logging." A Prison Camp is where, "detainees face torture and beatings by guards and women are left especially vulnerable to sexual coercion and abuse." In North Korea Foreign Detentions are serious as well. In the past many foreigners have been detained for long periods of time. At least 6 foreigners are still being detained and several were kidnapped but managed to escape.

The structure of the North Korean government goes as such: The Kim Dynasty, The Party Above All, The Military Rebalance and The Economy and The Elite. The Kim Dynasty consists of the entire Kim family and are the highest because they rule over North Korea. The Party Above All consists of The Political Bureau, The Commission Control and The Executive Policy Bureau. They are second highest because they are the Chief Policymakers. The Military Rebalance consists of, " an estimated 1.2 million active personnel, including two hundred thousand special operations forces, as well as millions more in reserves and paramilitary personnel." They are the middle of the government structure because they bring order to the country by taking care of all the citizens wrongdoings. The Economy and The Elites consist of one of the poorest nation's, with widespread malnutrition. They are second to last because they don't do anything and they really aren't cared for by the government.
