Today December 19th 2011 North Korea announced death of Kim Jong-il, the president of North Korea. He passed away of heart attack he had on 17th of December with the age of 69, but was only announced today by the state media. According to KCNA state news millions of North Koreans were in sorrow and cried openly in Pyongyang. The KCNA also mentioned that Kim Jong-un, the second son of Kim Jung-il, is left behind to unite North Korea as a great successor. South Korean were full of fears since the North had test-fired a missile early this year and it could easily reach the South. The military generals in South Korea mentioned that there is not much chance of North Korea launching missile, however, after Kim jung-il’s death South Korea have put the armed forces in high alert and even scheduled a meeting with Japan. Kim Jung-il’s death also caused the Asian stock markets to fall.

Death of a person, well he is not just a person but a leader of a country. It might seem sad for some people or even make some people happy. It is because the things he has done, the work he did which either satisfied people or gave them the hard time. As an example the nuclear bomb development was one of the big treat to the rest of the world; however it did satisfy the allied countries and also the country itself. I was always interested in this topic, “is being a hero to some people, but being the villain to others better?” I think that it is not possible to be a hero, however, some people might say “what about the super heroes like Spiderman, superman and so on”. They are still a villain for the people who are committing a crime. Therefore there is no hero or a villain, but it is just the way people think and the way people act.
