They are taught to worship whatever the leader thinks, says, or does no matter if its good or bad, they do whatever he tell them to. 3)One criticism on the U.S. that has some merit is that they think we are scared of them. This has some Merit because I think some of our politics are afraid of them but not our whole country.

Sure, their nuclear power must be watched but if we place sanctions on them it will only force them to be more angry. That would quite possibly push them to do something bad with there power. 2)I think that it comes from political/educational teachings. The North Koreans see how and what we are being taught and do not like it simply because it is not they way they do things. They feel it is there way or no way at all. 3)One criticism on the US that has some merit is there views on Bush, because hes just not that great. -Dylan L. 1) Sanctions against North Korea would be a bad idea.

After reading first hand stories I disagreed with sanctions. The people of North Korea are so terrible poor they do not need more things being taken from them, unless its plutonium… 2. I believe that it is in political/educational teachings. At first I couldn’t choose between which options, but education is key. Hate is learned, and where is this learned-schools and family. If a nation isn’t even taught of the wonders of the Western world, how do they know any better? They are taught to worship their leader almost like he’s their salvation; I don’t think it’s healthy. 3. One criticism of the U.S. found in these articles that I think has some merit is, ““If President Bush continues to ask North Korea to ‘kneel,’ war ‘will be inevitable,’” This expresses how America looks down on North Korea and they know it, who would respond with ‘yes I am lesser than you.’? It kind of makes sense why North Korea is so upset. ~Carly S.~ 1. After reading first hand stories I disagreed with sanctions.

There is strong animosity and negativity towards Americans as it is and to impose these sanction will only hurt our already terrible image. 2) I think the main root of their distrust is a combination of historical differences, and political and educational teachings. Ever since the end of the Korean War, North Korea has strongly disliked America. Ever since, North Korea has hated us and has continually taught its people that we are the enemy, still recounting the atrocities committed against them in the Korean War. 3) One criticism that I found intresting was "If President Bush continues to ask North Korea to 'kneel,' war 'will be inevitable,' said by North Korean General Ri Chan Bok. It is striking how Korea sees these talks as "bowing" to the United States. North Korea refuses to accept any terms ultimatim except for keeping these weapons or war. It's their history and culture that morally prohibits them from considering any other choices and it is very different from the American way. ~Hope H. 1) I think sanctions would not be very good, mainly for the United States p.r. to the North Koreans.

I feel that if the sanctions are put in place then both the North Koreans and other countries will be affected. I feel that if the sanctions are put in place then they will either ignore them or test the bombs more just to prove a point. I feel that if the sanctions are put into place then everything is just going to get worse. 2. I feel that the root of the cause is political. The people in North Korea are taught to both honor and respect their leaders. They show how much they love their leader and never speak badly of their leader. This is very different then in the United States. If we have problems with Bush we are able to say it but they do not ever fell this way and if they do they never make it public. 3. One criticism is that the United States should bowl down to North Korea and respect them. They feel that they are better then the United States and that the United States should really show how much they respect them. Erika I. 1.

I think that sanctions wouldn't be a good idea because North Korea are making them for a reason so they could use it against us. 2. North Korea is going to have hate towards the United States for a long time. The schools in North Korea are teaching young children to hate the U.S. If this doesn't stop soon then they could hate us for a very long time. - Torri C 1.

I think that the economic sanctions that they want to do against North Korea is a bad idea because its just going to make the situation worse. I think that we should deal with this situation very differently...you know a one that doesnt involve that much force that could hurt the people in North Korea. 2. I believe that there are many differences between the two countries. There are many cultural differences, how we deal with politics if different as well as what we teach the children in our country is different. All of these differences cause each country to think differently and badly about the other one. 3. One critism in the article was how the North Koreans say things about us which are untrue. They dont really know anything about us cause they judge us on our actions and most of the actions towards them arnt good ones so they just asume things... 1.

I feel that economic sanctions against North Korea being increased are the wrong idea completely. For starters the people whom need those things that are trying to be traded would be horribly negatively affected. And two in previously read works we read that sanctions to halt nuclear weapons growth, does not work, we have had sanctions on North Korea for over 2 decades already. 2. All of the above. Yes there are cultural changes that are true and that causes some distrust, two historical differences are present, from the Korean War, which they are still upset over and taught that they should be. And the teachings are present to push the historical differences, and then few negative incidents are than generalized into the entire country. 3. I don’t have my article with me so I can not answer this question, so I will hand it in during class. I wrote the answers to the other two down at home then brought them to my Penn state class and forgot the articles. joe affel 1.

Opposing economic sanctions is a good idea because it is clear that North Korea is trying to build nuclear weapons. All though the sanctions do not work as well as most would like at least we are doing something that will maybe deter them from doing this. 2. I agree with Ali and Cara I think that the root cause is political teaching I think that because Kim II Sung has such hate an animosity towards Americans that is how all the people feel. North Korean people really respect the opinion of Sung and do a believe what he tells them to believe. This was made clear in the video that we watched on Friday. 3. One criticism is that the economic sanctions are not allowing them to defend themselves. North Korea said that they are testing nuclear weapons to defend themselves. I think that this has some merit because they are afraid that the U.S might try to attack them and they want to protect they themselves. Beacause the U.S is a very powerful country and since N. Korea has made an enemy of the U.S they feel they need protection. Jamie I. 1. Opposing economic sanctions is a good idea because it is clear that North Korea is trying to build nuclear weapons.
