My club STAND@cnu focuses on the prevention and raising awareness of human rights violations throughout the world. For one of our events we brought an organization called Link to campus to play a video on North Korean refugees in China. This refuges are captured by the Chinese government and sent back to North Korea were they face torture and death. Furthermore, the government punishes their friends and family as well. The most interesting thing about the atrocities of the North Korean government is the way they are able to create a myth surrounding the leadership. This allows for complete control of the region as the people see their leaders as Gods on earth. They use this to create propaganda and suppress the people despite the harsh conditions. Furthermore, they create lies about outside countries making negative myths about outside nations. It further goes to how myth can be used for negative purposes as well. We can see this depicted in Till we have faces and the adoration for the priest class.
