Comparison Essay
Lee Yu Hyun
My comparison subjects are South Korea and North Korea. Originally, they were one country but they divided into two countries, because of the 6.25 war. As a result, they began having many different and diverse cultures.
First, South Korea's dominant ideology is free-democracy. In South Korea, everybody is free and respects others' rights. But in North Korea, the country's chief is the center of power. Everyone in the nation obeys him, so they have little freedom. Second, South Korea's president or lawmakers are voted for by the nation. Everybody has his/her own right to vote. But in North Korea, their high position is heredity. The present president's son will become the next president.
There are many differences but there are some similarities. First, South Korea and North Korea were both started from democracy. In North Korea, democracy was changed. So now they have Socialism and Absolutism. Second, both spend too much on the military. South Korea is economically better than North Korea, but neither country is rich. And finally, they have family separation pain. It is the most lamentable and doleful pain.
Between South Korea and North Korea, there are some distinctive differences. But, we have to unify at all costs for everyone because we are the same race. And our peninsula is the only divided country in the world. It is very shameful. So, we have to unify in haste.
