Seoul Train Response
After watching the video I relaized how much I should cherish all the things we take for granted here in the U.S. The simple things like electricity and running water are resources that almost all North Koreans are forced to live without. The worst part about it is that countries such as China not only refuse to help the brave men and women who have escaped, but they do the honors of sending them back, knowing that they very well may face death. The media has blown the lid off how horrible this place is, and yet we have reached no solution. I'm not saying that we are the ones forcing them to leave, but we are not contributing as much as a global power like ourselves can. Like the clip in the video, families are being seperated because men would rather be free then to live together under the unruling power of Kim Jong Il. The link provided tells the story of the only known case of an escapee of as North Korean prison camp.

Watching seoul train was really said. I had no idea how bad it was in from noth Koreans. It's like your only choice is to die. You either die in North korean because of the conditions, or you die because your trying to excape those conditions in pursuit of a better life in South Korea.It makes me appreciate the U.S so much more.I feel bad for the North Koreans but I do understand China's reluctance in letting them come to their country.The Chinese view the North Koreans like some people in our country view mexican immigrants.At any rate, i feel like the North Koreans are in need of alot of help because too many of them are dying.
