North Korea & Japan

[Paulette Cubero-Sierra]

One of the most controversial leaders in these days is the Supreme Leader of North Korea, Kim Jong- Un. At his 33 years old, he seems to be a threat for many countries. His recent war of words with the former president, Donald Trump seems to be not the only one, but also over the last month, his word turned into actions against the Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe. In the last month, North Korea fired two test missiles that impacted the sea of Japan. This situation escalated recently when the Prime Minister firmly wrote that he supported the USA position including all the options.

I chose this article because I think is important to be informed and to realize the importance to have a good or bad example of leadership in our lives. I think a good leader look out for the people. After the missiles, the UN decided to put sanctions against North Korea and that has affected them in business and the exportation business. It seems that Kim Jong-Un is more focused on threat people and his tests that to look for his people. I think that he is a selfish man who is destroying his own country, unfortunately, North Korea has not the option to vote for the leaders.
I think we should persuade to pick out good leaders for our countries so we can create a safe environment with other nations.

I really feel for this article in my ways, Paulette. It is extremely horrible how the certain leader appointed end up only really making more damage to their own country. As well as I agree with Jacob. I believe we do get comfortable with what we are so blessed to have. Freedom to live out our faith without getting persecuted for it. We have no idea what could be like to be in the position of those in North Korea. They find themselves surviving and finding ways to live out their faith without getting hurt by the consequences.

Thank you, both of you for your input on this article.

I am in favor of the idea of this article. The choice of the president's freedom is a basic guarantee of the people's living standards. A good president is decisive for the country's development. The opening of a country is an important factor in development. North Korea is completely closed. All the Korean people are under military control. So they have no right to know. The development of the state and the choice of the president have nothing to do with the people. The only thing the people of the Korean people are to obey the president's rule. This is a very terrible thing. Those who do not have free thought are not complete.

I want to say another country, China. Once in China closed the country. Of course, China has paid the price for this. Although China is still a lot of restrictions, China is slowly changing. Because there is no partisan struggle, so the president's choice, the people's right to choose the relative restrictions. But the Chinese people are free to choose the president. This determines that the president is serving the people and working for the rights of the people. So even though there is no freedom of the United States and the right to know, but at least now the Chinese people have been slow with the right to choose and right to know. I'm a job that's fine. Because I believe that a country's choice of its own leader determines the basic attributes of the leader. The fundamental principle of the leaders chosen by the people should be to serve the people. Because the leaders who do not need to run for election do not need to be accountable to the people, nor are they bound by the people.

When I learned the economy, I believe that free competition and the right to know are very important. I think the same is true of the leader's choice. People who know more about their leaders are good. I believe that only leaders born through free competition are the ones who have the greatest capacity and are more able to meet the needs of the majority of the people. Of course, in order to avoid foolish problems. The necessary propaganda and the impact on foreign countries are also necessary. In short, the right to choose and the right to know is the most important when the people choose their own leaders.

Another reason why I mentioned China is faith. In China, the question of faith is still a very important issue. I hope that faith can be respected. Christianity should appear more in the leaders, Jesus is our shepherd. He taught us two things. First, the leadership should be to serve others. So the right to choose and right to know is very important. Only the people have the right to choose and the right to know that is the leadership for the people's interests and the basis of efforts. Second, we want to respect our leadership. So, although sometimes, do not agree with this leader. I think prayer would be a better choice. I hope that leadership will get better and better.
