Plato refers that he evaluates music as a moral role to shape people\u2019 s mind. Now, it is a method for government\u2019s propaganda. Street conveys his point very clearly and usefully that this book is about the relationship between music and politics because this idea connect human rights and it is the \u201cheart of this book.\u201d Furthermore, he thinks that political beyond music represents all our lives\u2019 choices we made and these choices infect us. As he said, this is not a new idea but one easily would be neglected. In <em>Music and Politics<\/em>, his interesting ideas about how people receive music genres and evaluate its political thoughts. However, this political idea is not formulas can easily analysis but each of its aspects has different perspective and it needs audience to understand differently. There is another opinion he noticed that music history originated from the fear and the object of repression refer to Plato\u2019s early statement. At the beginning of the music history, it has its strict restriction and it is not as widespread as now, some scholars treated very seriously such as Plato, because he thinks it is a tool to shape people\u2019s idea and its moral values. Now, improved and updated by other scholars, it is an update idea that has different meanings and values. Music manipulates and dominates the receiver as a powerful tool.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Gulag Camps in North Korea:<\/p>\n<p>In North Korea, people have been sent to gulag because the violet the regulation in North Korea.

Regulative means \u201cexplicit and deliberate attempts to pretend the public session or dissemination of media connection; constitutive it is the name of the civilizing process, censorship is a fact of social life.\u201d The music has the power to disruptive the social and political order. There is a classic example of how music manipulates its people and uses the censorship to achieve its goals. North Korean is a country is a one of few countries that still build the heir kingdom over the public. Stalinism, its Economy, modeled after Stalin\u2019s Soviet Union-controlled centralized, collectively, crumble in the 1970s and 1980s and collapsed heavily with fall of communism in the Soviet Union the forms in China. (P5-10)Because of its worship to nuclear power, the Kim\u2019s family would sacrifice its people starve to death, even worst, this brutal regime will punish people because the free marketing and trades. Especially, as the author mentioned, \u201cPyongyang is active place seeking to control,\u201d Since 1950s, North Korea has examined individuals\u2019 backgrounds to determine political loyalty. It dived its people into three categories: core group has 25% of its total population, and wavering group: 50%, half of its people belongs to its group, also as known as suspect people, and then the worst level people have mostly will be sent to the labor campaign, they are not reliable. This is a nation that god does not bless, refer to author. Because military first (sung-gun) policy force its people devote themselves into pursuing nuclear weapon, defend their countries from Western power and its mediums\u2019 influences. National propaganda and its brutality render people to worship and devote themselves to its corruption and hopeless country. In the early stage, it has its national immigration but with a serious corruption just as other countries. Although, they have to buy the gifts or give money to \u5b98\u50da. But it has complex and detailed regulation for people to travel or go out side of this country. It even has the restriction to its free market and free will to choose their jobs. Those common human rights comprised to the <em>military-first<\/em> policy. The government even made the term to describe theses doctrines, called Organized Life (OL) In other words, \u201cno one in North Korea reaches a level of privilege where thoughts and opinion can be publically discussed without impunity.\u201d \u201cMaking money in North Korea is often linked with illegal behaviors of association and every 1<sup>st<\/sup>, 11<sup>th<\/sup> and 21<sup>st<\/sup> the market would open.\u201d (P4) For example, watching of foreign videos, the reading of foreign books also will receive strict punishment. Although the North Korea already signed up and agree with the <em>Human Rights Committee<\/em> in 1994 but it still violated it and broke the rules. The people escape from North Korea just because they are too hungry to live in this country.
