They follow the same type of government structure as the United States, which is the 3 different branches: Legislative, Executive, and Judicial.

South Korea uses a government similar to the U.S with the 3 branches of government, while North Korea operates as a single-party state. North Korea is also very oppressive of independent media, political oppostion, trade unions, etc. Whereas South Korea grants citizens all of their civil rights and a lot of freedoms. South Korean government officials usually serve 5 years, whereas North Korean officials usually dont leave office until death. ]]> 2018-08-17 20:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_green/23w5cob1nph9/wish/273815706 dylan_green https://padlet.com/dylan_green/23w5cob1nph9/wish/273817540 Korean citizens have numerous options available to entertain them, such as K-Pop, dramas, etc. You can probably attribute this to the massive market for services in Korea, which even outdoes America. Gaming is also a huge industry in Korea, with numerous huge tournaments being held in Seoul every year. Almost everywhere you go, you can find a PC Bang, which is basically an internet cafe where you can pay to play as long as you want. ]]> 2018-08-17 20:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dylan_green/23w5cob1nph9/wish/273817540
