The type "Juche State" does not exist in this scheme. When we declair the government type for this article, it needs to be in keeping with scholarly work and not the nation's own propaganda. I am pretty sure the majority of countries describe themselves differently in their constitution compared to the infobox.
Hij zweert of belooft trouw aan de Grondwet en een getrouwe vervulling van zijn ambt. In brief what is in the constitution of a country should not be binding without discussion. We've got two editors who revert any changes to this on sight - and one has at least on my talk page stated baldly that he refuses to discuss the matter.
I think that also everyone agrees that NK calls itself a Juche state. We all agree that CIA factbook lists the country as "Communist state one-man dictatorship" but may not be unbiased. IMHO The question is whether Juche state gives sufficient information to the unknowing reader after all, this is a encyclopedia, not an expert to expert forum.
Personally I think most people will not understand Juche; so we might need to change that slightly. Again in my opinion the phrase communist should be somewhere in the government type. However I can agree with the problems against the one-man dictatorship communism. First of all because almost all dictatorships are one-man rule; so this addition is trivial.
Also the fact that many other typical dictatorships e. Zimbabwe are not listed as such in Wiki nor in CIA factbook for that matter should count for something. This is fairly exceptional in worldwide state forms nowadays, so some specific name may be in order after all. Combining all my own arguments my suggestion would be to change "Juche State" to " Juche Communism".
This gives IMHO due account to the specific case of the North Korean leader worship, while giving lay-readers the information that this state form is a subdivision of Communism. Also, please sign your comments. For N. Korea, they simply put 'communist' It is Juche, not Communist.
For the Iran page should we change it from 'Islamic Republic' a term which the Iranians invented to a theocracy? I heavily doubt it. I have not completely read the wikipedia article on Juche so perhaps the source of contention lies in how it is being demostrated on this site. I hope people aren't writing with wikipedia being their ownly knowledge of the term. Reply [ reply ] Wow barf These pictures make North Korea look like a paradise! Look at those high-tech industries!
Why is there not a single picture of the countryside? Most North Koreans live in the countryside outside of Pyeongyang and Hamhung. I can't believe Wikipedia has turned into a source of North Korean and recent South Korean propaganda. See its corresponding Wikitravel article. Who'd want to spread North Korean propaganda? Telling the truth about it can be easily confused with POV pushing or vandalism. A few editors have made a concerted effort to make North Korea sound and look as nice as any other country - to the point of removing a rather telling satellite image showing the Korean peninsula at night.
I am by no stretch of the imagination 'pro-NK' but you really have to temper yourself. This is an encyclopedia. If you want to get polemic, start a blog. Just because the country is run by a dictatorship doesn't mean it doesn't have cities, or industy, or big buildings, or sunny days.
South Korea was a dictatorship too until the late 80's but nobody seems to go argue there that the wikipedia page is "too nice". I think it is important for people to see pictures of Pyongyang so that this image of North Korea of a country of nothing but wasteland can be reassessed. I am particularly annoyed by the self-appointed North Korea "experts" that are only interested in the aspects of human rights and democracy as if they were the only true defining qualities of a "real country" and that discussing anything else about the country isn't worth the time.
To further address specifics, that photo of the blackout that Rumsfeld was so fond of was taken during a blackout in the North except for pyongyang which has electrical priority as the largest and most necessary for function city in the country and inaccurately depicts the north as a country in the "middle ages" compared to the glowingly modern south. I don't see anyone objecting to pictures of downtown Beijing or Shanghai as unfairly representing China.
I don't see how it is unreasonable to see that North Korea was given the short end of the stick simply because it did not care to do business with the US for many many many reasons and as a result is struggling to sustain itself an its Juche policy of self-reliance. This is not the place to discuss whether or not it is acceptable or excusable, but it is the place to point out that not everything in North Korea is a shit-hole and for people who don't have any academic knowledge of the country to voice displeasure with the view they learned from who knows where seems academically irresponsible.
Besides, isn't wikipedia trying to be an academic collection of knowledge? If you want to call the regime a "Juche Communism" because it makes the most number of people happy even though nobody uses that term, then that's fine because that's how wikipedia chooses to operate and i accept that. These stories range from the very good to the outstanding, and they are presented to us, perhaps intentionally, in order from the slightly hopeful to the utterly bleak.
It is also the narratively simplest of the three works. The narrator and Mother witness these killings, and they initially respond by attempting to cover up the reality of the events and to suppress their memories. Pak is skilled at revealing the reality of life in short, nearly throwaway dialogue and descriptions.
This nicely limns the jaded but affectionate relationship between the two women. Even the title is clever, at the same time reflecting the reality of the narrative — most of which takes place in a Buddhist temple — and the relatively happy ending, which features the promise of at least some kind of release.
For a time, the narrator does attempt to tell her tale, but for various reasons can never get the tale just so, or heard in the way she desires and needs. The other two stories in the collection do not end on similar notes. But in general the rape seems both too large and random an incident to occur when it does, and it seems played off quite too lightly after it does occur.
He is a man of contradictions, perhaps more contradictions than one character can conveniently contain. It is not that it is unlikely that a man of high standing in his church could also be a torturer cf. The Inquisition , rather that such a character should also have such clear inner awareness of the sources of his own trauma, be so able to connect those traumas to his existence in his daily life, also be aware of their outcomes, but then draw no conclusions from them.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, pointing at the bloody corpses.
