In order to document real rates are high since prisoners are forced to perform dangerous slave work and are regularly life in North Korea, Daoust made use of a hidden shutter-release cable to take photographs tortured. Note: Many of those imprisoned are not guilty of any real crime: one man was sent secretly in the non-approved locations. to prison for ten years for absent-mindedly using a newspaper printed with a photograph of Kim Jong-Il to mop up a spilled drink. Pleasure Brigade Bicycles The Kippumjo or Gippeumjo (translated variously as Pleasure Squad, Pleasure Brigade or The late Kim Jong Il reportedly felt that the sight of a woman on a bike was potentially Joy Division) is an alleged collection of groups of approximately 2,000 women and girls dam-aging to public morality. It was the last straw when, in the mid nineties, the daughter of that is maintained by the head of state of North Korea for the purpose of providing pleasure, a top general was killed on a bike.

  • The Juche Tower in Pyongyang. Photo by Uwe Brodrecht, Used Under CC BY-SA 2.0 COMMENTARY: “WE MUST BE READY for REVENGE”: the REAL VALUE of CHILDHOOD in NORTH KOREA
    The Juche Tower in Pyongyang. Photo by Uwe Brodrecht, used under CC BY-SA 2.0 COMMENTARY: “WE MUST BE READY FOR REVENGE”: THE REAL VALUE OF CHILDHOOD IN NORTH KOREA By Robert Huish Associate Professor, International Development Studies, Dalhousie University The Korean Children’s Union is not designed to nurture nor to inspire its members through friendship, camaraderie, or duty. It is meant to belittle, to intimidate, and to instill the belief that the supreme leader is all powerful. It rigorously instructs children that to be an individual is meaningless. No child is unique. Each one is just like the other. Replaceable, disposable, and ultimately? Worthless. Based on the testimony of numerous defectors, we know that North Korean children are told by the government to love the supreme leader more than their own parents. Mom and dad may be responsible for them day to day, but ultimately it is the leader who provides for them in every way. Sound cultish? It is. Juche, or “self reliance”, is North Korea’s official ideology meant to drive the nation towards true socialism. It is a deranged and maniacal cult of personality that convinces people not to think for themselves, but to think through the leader. Allons-y, Volume 3 | January 2019 23 It begins with nursery rhymes. There are two distinct kinds. The first gives fawning praise and boisterous credence to Kim Il Sung, the eternal leader of North Korea, along with his direct descendants Kim Jong Il, and Kim Jong Un. The second set of children’s songs are chalked full of lyrics about killing “Japanese dogs” and dismembering “American bastards”.

The Program's corporate sponsors, as well as support from the government and from private foundations, have made it the largest, most comprehensive, and most widely emulated center of applied Japanese studies in the world. The intellectual focus of the Program is to integrate the research methodologies of the social sciences, the humanities, and technology to approach issues confronting the United States and Japan in their relations involving science and technology. The Program is uniquely positioned to make use of MIT's extensive network of Japan-related resources, which include faculty, researchers, and library collections, as well as a Tokyo-based office. Through its three core activities, namely, education, research, and public awareness, the Program disseminates both to its sponsors and to the interested public its expertise on Japanese science and technology and on how that science and technology is managed.
