Assuming there's no virus going around, two questions:
1. Would you want to visit North Korea as a tourist?
2. Is it ethical to visit North Korea?
My friend is of the opinion that visiting North Korea (and paying tourism money) is inherently an action that supports the regime in North Korea, and they consider it to be profoundly immoral.
However, I have always been curious about North Korea and would certainly like to, in less turbulent times, visit.
I have heard that they have these tours where you can go to Pyongyang and see how the North Korea people live and that while you're on those tours, aside from you having to be with a "tour guide" at all times and having to travel according to a schedule, they don't do a whole lot to oppress you.
On Youtube, there are many glowing reviews of the trips to North Korea. The only thing that's "controversial" about the visits is that if you want to see the golden Kim statues, you have to bow (it's a rule). But it's not that bad...
State tourism is a growing (or was a growing) industry in North Korea.
Alright, enough talking from me.
Remember the discussion questions... assuming there's no virus... 1. Would you want to go on a trip to North Korea as a tourist? 2. Is it ethical to do so?
Why?
