Multiple Perspective
Lack of human rights in North Korea can be interpreted differently by the citizens of North Korea. North Koreans are brainwashed from birth by the government and this changes their perspective of their leader Kim Jong-un and their country because they are tough and forced to be loyal to the country and worship the supreme leader from their birth: "I was shocked at the truly secretive nature of a nation whose people are brainwashed by their leaders"(Mirror.co.uk 14). North Koreans are also taught that Americans are evil and the United States was the one who started the Korean war. So the government trains the future generations of North Korea to hate and kill American soldiers. The North Koreans worship their leader like god but they don't know that he is not treating them like a human being: "Imagine a country where Great Leader Kim Il-Sung has been dead for over 18 years, but is still president and where his starving followers must worship him as a god"(Vermeer 1). The people of North Korea still have to worship their Great Leader Kim II-Sung like god even if he is been dead for 18 years. People that from North Korea have different perspective of Kim Jong-un because he isn't brainwashing them and have the absolute control over their feelings, emotions, and thoughts. This relates to the book Persepolis written by Marji Satrapi, it has lots of different perspectives of Iran culture. One of them was about the veil, people that aren't Muslim think that women wear veil to cover their head so men will not be able to see it, but a Muslim women would wear it for a religious purpose and to connect with other Muslim women. So there are many ways to look at things in the world and everyone has different views even though they don't all
This is how North Koreans view Kim Jong-un:
