The extent to which common speech varies from place to place is indicative of massive cultural incongruity, as well as the absence of any linguistic common denominator. Korean stands as one of the world's most complex and difficult languages; with its spoken presence in over thirty countries, one might readily surmise that this particular language has transgressed many of the cultural boundaries that continue to plague myriad lesser known global tongues.

Poverty in North Korea
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages. This paper tells of appalling conditions in North Korea with thousands of people starving to death and yet the government of North Korea refuses to allow any outside help or even to admit there is anything wrong in the country. The cries of the North Korean people who are starving to death must be heard. It is the noises that the political parties of other countries make that serve to drown them out. This inhumanity is the equivalent to another Holocaust. The thesis here is that the message needs to get out to the world that these poverty-stricken North Koreans desperately need help – but that the North Korean government will have to be circumvented to do so.
