Dictators Amongst us Today

Dictators still live amongst us today ruling countries such as North Korea, Cuba and Russia... they solely rule making their own choices, destroy the possibility of everyone’s freedom and make sure nobody can change that. These dictators are turning our world into a massive, real-life dystopia headed towards rebel groups, conspiracies, anger and war. An important thing for all of us; how do we deal with this type of people and the situations they put us in?

Kim Jong-Un, the leader of North Korea has prepared nuclear weapons and missiles that could easily reach the United States (or so he claims, as nobody knows what happens in his territory). In Russia, Mr Vladimir Putin completely controls what goes on the media, doesn’t allow people to say anything even the slightest bit against him, cheats during voting procedures to give himself the power, lies to the citizens and is completely corrupt.  These dictators are harming the people of their country in ways such as keeping them segregated from the rest of the world, having children in the armies and taking away their freedom and human rights. Shakespeare wrote a play about the life of one of Rome’s greatest leaders, Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar was a dictator, and was assassinated by the other senators including his best friend: Marcus Brutus. When the senators and more noble people of Rome began to feel that Caesar was abusing his power, they wanted to end that for the better of Rome. Their method of doing this was by creating a conspiracy group and assassinating the leader. Adolf Hitler, another powerful dictator from the past lost his power when an outside force (Russia) came in with their powerful weapons and military force, won the war and then America literally removed him from his position turning Germany into a fair and equal democracy. Today, we face an issue in North Korea because of the possibility of World War III beginning on a nuclear level which could completely destroy entire countries and eventually our entire planet. The first steps have already been taken; an embargo on North Korea. The UN decided to stop any trade with North Korea to prevent them from getting hold of any more weapons foreign goods forcing them to live off whatever they can grow and make in their own country.

There are several ways to deal with dictators; assassination, embargo, fighting a war, talking and reasoning, starting union or conspiracy groups and much more. When dictators are malevolently and unjustly abusing their power and the rights of the people, steps have to be taken to save the country from bursting into chaos and keeping the over seven billion people of the world at peace.
