(Whoops, realized I accidentally posted this in Week 8) Below is a link to part 1 of 10 of a documentary made by the North Koreans, exposing the supposed propaganda behind the our US way of life. I have not watched the whole thing. But essentially, our government are propagandists and keep us (their citizens) busy with music, television, consumerism to distract us from what they are really doing and using our way of life to support their mission of domination. On the topic of worldviews and symbols, please watch from 8:00 to 14:41 in the link below. This segment is about slogans that we hear the in the US like, "Support our Troops", "Freedom", and "Democracy". To us, they are worldviews and symbols that are significant to us, have meaning, and makes sense in our lives. However, the North Koreans have a different perspective on our slogans. They compare them with what is actually happening in the US and use it as evidence for propaganda in our government.
