p. 166 The Dictatorship of North Korea vs. Our U.S. Constitution

Look at a map of the Korean Peninsula at night.  In the southern half of the peninsula, you will see pockets of bright lights denoting South Korea's cities and population centers.  In the northern part, you will see an expanse of a dark expanse with the occasional tiny light.  That's not an ocean or other body of water.  That's North Korea, an absolute dictatorship and one of, if not the most, isolated countries on Earth.  How did this happen?  Does North Korea have a Constitution? What is the relationship between the people and their government?  What role does "juche" play in the lives of North Koreans?  To help us understand this country, we are pleased to welcome Suzanne Scholte.  Suzanne is a noted human rights activist, president of the Defense Forum Foundation is the vice co-chair of the U.S. Committee for Human Rights in North Korea.  Thank you for joining Suzanne and our student panel for this eye-opening discussion on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
