Today in class we started off by completed Mr. Schick's survey for the first semester.  We had to honestly complete the survey in which i did. I thought Mr. Schick did a wonderful job on teaching us this semester! After finishing up the surveys we went over the end of the North Korea powerpoint, we learned and took notes about their current & past leaders. Here is the notes we took ...



Kim Il-Sung (1912 - 1994)
Ruled from 1948 - 1994
He was know or nicknamed as "Great Leader, Eternal Leader, and Supreme Leader"
He was viewed as a god
Establishment of "cult of personality"

Passing the torch ...

Kim Jong - Il (1941 - 2011)
Ruled from 1994 - 2011 as Supreme Leader
There was many myths written about him, for example "when Kim Jong - Il was born a star to illuminate the sky, and a double rainbow spontaneously appeared"
Everyone is told these myths, which means they believe them

The present leader ...

Kim Jong - Un
Born in 1993
He became Supreme Leader
He is also 32 years old -- the world's youngest head of state
He has threatened the US with "pre-emptive nuclear attack"
He has also put to death members of Jong's family, because he wants to be know as Kim Jong - Un  not Kim Jong - Il son.
They have the 4th largest army in the world.
