A Look into North Korea in a Few Years

In recent years, North Korea has made itself more visible to the world for all the wrong reasons. It's stance on being a nuclear power has worried its neighbors and nations like the U.S. But recent developments have shown that North Korea is finally disarming themselves of nuclear facilities.

This comes as a great sigh of relief for many nations and, of course, everything remains to be seen. But what will the future be like for North Korea should they push through with an irreversible deal such as this one?

Open doors

North Korea will finally be able to open its doors to the world. For the first time in decades, the international community will be able to gaze on the beauty and splendor that is North Korea. More importantly, the world will finally see the truth behind the country that has isolated itself since the 1950s.

Reunification

It's been a long time since the Korea's last agreed with each other; but hopefully in the near future they will come to know each other as equals once more. Arguments on why they have been separated have long become stale and it is about time that discussions of a united Korea begin to take place.

New World Culture

From the North Korean perspective, they will no doubt be filled with a kind of culture-shock from the international embrace it will receive. From the perspective of other countries, they will no doubt be amazed at a North Korean culture that has been kept from the world for so long. There will definitely be lots of interest in what North Korea has been able preserve from the past. Also, there still might be a few lessons that the world will learn from observing the North Korean way of life.

New Breed Of Tourists

After being virtually locked up for so long, it will come to no surprise if the North Koreans start to venture out into the world once they are free to do so. Interest in their people will just be as great as their interest in the rest of the world. Hopefully, by the time it does happen, the international community will be mature enough to understand how they will react to things they have never come in contact with in their country.

True World Order

With all countries agreeing with each other at some level, there will be the opportunity to move things forward as a truly united planet. With a major obstacle like nuclear facilities out of the way, a more peaceful and safe means to a better planet will more than likely be a reality. Of course, this is looking beyond a time when the world sees a North Korea that is completely rid of nuclear facilities and material, as well as beyond a hopeful reunification with their brothers in the South.

North Korea's decision to slowly disarm itself and look for alternative sources of energy (provided by the international community) is a huge step in their evolution as a peaceful and democratic nation. As long as there are no more obstacles, political or not, the world should see the Korea that should have been a long time ago: United and free.
