A dictatorship is a form of government where one person rules with total power over the people. A dictator will use his or hers power to force their beliefs on people. In addition to North Korea being a dictatorship, it can also be seen as fascism. Fascism is where state is above everything such as family, religion and personal goals. Most fascist governments are ruled by a dictator who wants the people to believe that he and the state are above all which is much like what Kim Jong-Un is implementing on North Korea.

When Kim Jong-Un's father, Kim Jong Il, died in December of 2011, Kim rose to power as supreme leader to take over for his father. Due to Kim Jong-Un's rise to power, he was also made leader of the military in addition to North Korea's supreme leader. In the years leading to Kim's takeover, he was given a spot on the countries National Defense Commission (NDC).  By the middle of 2009, he was seen as a "Brilliant Comrade", he was getting a lot of attention for his success' and help and was later named head of the State Security Department. Kim Jong-Un has been in power since 2011.

In North Korea, the government takes away all basic human rights such as freedom, expression, religion and association. They also fail to protect the more "vulnerable groups"  which include woman, children and people with disabilities along with people who are incarcerated. North Korea's government has even picked haircuts men and women can get. Each gender has a pick of 15 haircuts that they can choose from. Women are also often punished for actions done by their male relatives or their husband, including sexual abuse and other gender based abuse tactics.

Due to them being under a dictatorship, the government chooses how you can live your life, and your'e not allowed to step out of line. Some of the ridiculous laws are that if you want to live in the capital, you have to be approved and the government has to say it's okay. You also have to watch state approved T.V. so anything that you are interested in, it better be state approved otherwise your'e breaking the law by watching it. You have to vote, you don't get a say in wether you do or not, and it's rare that someone will run against the Kim family, according to the article, anyone who does run against the family is usually and undoubtedly a paid actor.

A democracy is a form of government in which the citizens elect representatives to exercise power for them. Some examples of democracy is the United States, Switzerland, Rome etc. Clearly this is the complete opposite of a dictatorship, which is complete control over the people and their basic human rights. In a democracy no law is passed without a word in from the citizens, and in a dictatorship all laws are passed without any word from the people. ]]> 2018-08-17 15:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/morgan_gonzalez1/z99n7y5qjanu/wish/273744528
