North and South Korea

When we got back from break on Monday, we started a new unit and it will be our last unit for our human geo class. Next semester most people have Western Civilization and that class takes place of human geo. Our last unit is called the differences between North and South Korea. Most of it though, talks about North Korea and how it is isolated from the world. Here are some notes we took about this subject:

- North Korea has a oppressive government
- It is very secluded and isolated from the world
- Currently headed by Kim Jong-Un
- Kim Jong-Un didn't seem to like The Interview
- State-run socialist government that many consider to be stalinist dictatorship
- Official name - Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)
- Not North Korea - they claim to be the legitimate rulers of the entire peninsula
- Isolated by the government
- Isolated Geographically
- They are on a peninsula
- Pyongyang is the capital and is located 39 degrees north
- Bel Air, MD is also located 39 degrees north
- North Korea is a developing country, and it lacks development
- North Korea has more than 24 million people
