Refugees of North Korea

This topic is basically about North Koreans who risk their lives and cross the DMZ line for better living. They go to special schools to learn, speak, act, and eat as South Koreans do. But they come with fear as they defect their citizenships because of their families that are suffering to survive in the other Korean nation. They are provided jobs and opportunities to help their families that are left behind live for the better.

Big Picture


It's mostly impacts of human geography. North Koreans fled to South Korea and are living in freedom. They have their own schools to learn properly all over again. They are also fearful because they can't speak like the South Koreans or act like them. Before in North Korea, they didn't have freedom but once they came to South Korea, it was a complete new way of living.

It relates most to the concept "Migration" because it's a movement of the North Korean refugees fleeing either across the DMZ line or the border of China for safety and freedom.

Just like North Korea, people in other places may be having the same issues. For example, Hispanic people are crossing the Mexico-United States border for better living while having to pay for their families left behind. Living under communism with no freedom. They learn about only their dictator, Kim Jong Il. They have famines and barely survive. Many people in other countries tries to flee to other nations.

  1. This reminds me of the Mexican illegal immigrants coming into the United States. The impacts are similar in both places. In both the US and South Korea/China, the newcomers have to learn about a whole new culture. They have problems communicating and getting used to their new lifestyle. One thing that stood out is the fact that they pay their families in their home countries. This happens in both Mexico and North Korea, so the immigrants' families can continue to survive.
