How do North Koreans show respect to their leader?

What do North Koreans never do with regards to their leader?

The north korean flag
- The red star is the Universal symbol of communism. The disk represents the taekgeuk found on the flag of the Korean Empire, and represents the opposing principles of nature. The red stripe shows the revolutionary traditions. The white stripes symbolize purity. The two blue stripes symbolize sovereignty, peace and friendship.
- Dictionary meaning: the quality of being patriotic; vigorous support for one's country. My meaning: to support your own country with enthusiasm. Someone could be patriotic by never saying anything negative about their country. Fully supporting any decision made by their government.
- Personally I think that it is unfair. I think it is unfair because it makes that family look snobby and makes people think that their family is "better than other families". I think that other people should get a chance at being the leader and not just one family.
so what to you think?
New Zealander's should not show more respect towards our leaders.
Assessment
- Name 6 differences between how New Zealanders and North Koreans live.
- We do not worship our leaders like they do.
- Our country does not use propaganda.
- New Zealand does not make statues of our leaders.
- We elect our leaders, we do not pass the role of being the leader down through the family.
- We have very different traditions and cultures in our communities.
- New Zealand has different religions and beliefs.
- 'The New Zealand Government should be run like the North Korea Government.'
- New Zealand should not use personality Cult like North Korea.
The people of North Korea are not entitled to their own opinion on who should run their country like New Zealand. They are made to worship and admire whoever runs their country.
I would be very disappointed if New Zealand did change to Personality Cult. I like the way New Zealand is run at the moment because we are allowed to vote for our favourite party to run our country.
