WK2 Project 2


Korea, such a beautiful land but on the inside scared, hungry people live. The way of the government in Korea scares some so much they live in fear of what will happen to themselves and their families if such a simple crime of recording a video of the lands can cause them to be killed. After watching the video of Korea I couldn’t believe the way the government controls so much of the country and their people. It saddened me to see the starving children on the streets of Korea, some the same age as my youngest that is 3. In this country the people seem to be in fear of their government and the harsh punishments for something that we would see as an everyday way of life.

The message of my flyer is more aimed toward the children of Korea. To take the money that is being dropped and help stop the hunger of small children throughout the country. This type of flyer would be inspirational to get people to get together and help these children who don’t have families or homes. The target audience would be children and young teens whom are orphans, as well as people who are in the position to help children in these horrible situations.  

I find it to be harsh they are not allowed to watch any type of foreign television or media. Their government is the only source of media that it is allowed to have access that is through North Korean State TV along with other pieces of government propaganda. Even though illegal the Frontline report stated that over half of the population engages in watching the illegal media risking their freedom and maybe even their lives. Millions engage in listening to illegal foreign radio because they are so curious to what life is like outside of Korea. Within the last several years cell phones have been allowed into Korea, but with all things there is a catch, the cell phone can only be used to make calls within the country. Many in Korea modify their cell phones to make calls outside of Korea, which is a violation of the Korean law.
