Fascinating! I finally got to read the whole thread. I am impressed by your knowledge on Korea. You've learned a lot. And from your posts I've learned some of the related issues I wasn't aware of. It's also interesting in learning outsiders' take on North and South Korean situation. Without a doubt, the people from both NK and SK are heavily indoctronated by their own governments' propaganda. I remember through out childhood, how frighten I became every time I was told about North Korea communist spies. Our Government censored the Media, Reading Material, and the Education System.
I visited the DMZ in SK side for the first time in 2009. It's interesting to hear the situation on DMZ from a North Korean soldier. I also noted the uneasy situation of North Korean defactors in South Korea during my 2009 visiting. North Koreans were struggling in adjusting to South Korean's systems and cultures. They were also facing discrimination and indefferance by the materialized South Koreans.
You've made a good point on your report on "Tradition in Conflict" I agree with you.
You've brought out so many interesting information! I enjoyed watching the links you posted as well. Excellent Job!
I was born and raised in the South. And yes, I become a JW in Korea. So, English is not my first language.
