Culture

North Koreans have a significantly lower standard of living than developed countries. The wealthy elite in P'yongyang live lives similar to those of lower middle class Americans. Little can be said for certain about modern day Korean culture because of the strict policies regarding foreigners that are in place there. It is difficult for Americans to enter the country because of the hatred that all North Koreans seem to possess. However, the younger generation of North Koreans is becoming more apathetic to America than the previous generation. Also, increasing numbers of citizens are beginning to become connected to the outside world through television, music, and popular culture.
