seoul train reaction
Watching this video in class really opened my eyes to what was actually going on in North Korea and China. I knew things were bad there but i had never taken the time to learn much about it. Seeing the devastation in North Korea and watching the hungry children trying to pick food off of the ground made me want to throw up. The living conditions that they are in are sub-human. They have no food, no water, and no cloths. You are lucky to even have shoes. This makes me sick to my stomach and forces me to realize how easy and nice we have it living in the United States. When you are watching the people trying so desperately to get out of North Korea and the chinese authorities are just sending them right back to what could very well be a death sentence, you cant help but to sympathize with the Koreans. Hopefully everyone will come to their senses and the regime in North Korea will fall. But if this does happen the whole world has to help and get that country out of the failed state they are in.
Reaction to Seoul Train
So after watching the movie about North Korea did I realize just how good I have life. I feel so bead for all of the people who are stuck in that country without anywhere to go or anyone to turn to for help. I feel that China was in the wrong for not helping any of these people in danger. To me it doesn't matter if they are illegal or not. We are all people who deserve rights to be treated like humans. This movie was so sad but really eye opening as to what happens around the world. I really wish that me myself cold help these people get free and or get what they need to survive. I know that everyone is scared that if we take action we could get into a war, but these people need help and we need to act now so that they can be helped and survive. As you can see in my link the UNHCR isn't even helping the people of North Korea. They aren't allowed to help them. I don't get how the UN can't help who ever they want because isn't that what they are suppose to do. How can they not do there job. This crisis makes me sick yo think about and I wish I could do something to help North Koreans survive.
