May 6, 2012 (Deceive for a purpose)

A group, institution, or organization can appear like one thing and actually be another under the surface. In other words, they can be deceptive. Not only groups, institutions, and organizations do that, but also countries. Let's take DPRK as an example. After the Korean War, the Koreans were left to decide which country they would like to live in, which there is no turning back. Many Koreans at that time chose North Korea since the North Korean town rigth next to the border looked so grand with ample amount of electricity and luxury. In reality, the electricty and goods are from the aid of Soviet Union. Also, the buildings that look so grand to lure the Koreans in were in fact hollow and empty in the inside. (There were even no floors!) This example shows how North Korea appeared one thing (luxurious) and actually was another (empty and poor), which its purpose was to lure more, get more Koreans in their country.
