Escaping from North Korea in search of freedom:ย Yeonmi Park tells her story of life in North Korea and calls for action against such human rights violators.
Yeonmi was speaking at the One Young World Summit 2014 in Dublin.
I have to do this because this is not just I am speakingโฆ This is for the people who want to tell the world what they want to say.
North Korea is an unnatural country. There is only one channel on TV and there is no internet. We arenโt free to sing, say, wear or think what we want.
North Korea is the only country in the world that executes people for making unauthorized international phone calls.
North Koreans are being terrorized today.
When I was growing up in North Korea, I never saw anything about love stories between man and woman, no books, no songs, no press, no movies about love stories. There is no Romeo and Juliet, every stories were propagandized to brainwash about the Kim dictators.
I was born in 1993 and I was abducted at birth even before I knew the words โfreedomโ or โhuman rightsโ. North Koreans are desperately seeking and dying for freedom at this momentโฆ
When I was 9 years old, I saw my friendโs mother publicly executed. Her crime? Watching a Hollywood movie!
Expressing doubt about the regime can get 3 generations of whole family imprisoned or executed.
When I was 4 years old, I was warned by my mother, not to even whisper, the birds and mice could hear me. I admitted it. I thought the North Korean dictator could read my mind. My father died in China after we escaped North Korea. And I have to bury him at 3 am in secret. I was only 14 years old. I couldnโt even cry, I was afraid to be sent back to North Korea.
The day I escaped North Korea, I saw my mother raped. The rapist was a Chinese broker. He had targeted me. I was only 13 years old. There is a saying in North Korea, โWomen are weak, but mothers are strongโ. My mother allowed herself to be raped in order to protect me.
North Korean refugees, about 300,000 are roaming over in China. 70 percent of North Korean women and teenage girls are being victimized and sometimes sold for as a little as 200 dollars. We walked across the Gobi desert following a compass and when it stopped working, we followed the stars to freedom. I felt only the stars are with us. Mongolia was our freedom moment.
Death or dignity; I was with the knife, we were prepared to kill ourselves if we are going to be send back to North Korea. We wanted to live as humansโฆ
People often ask me, โHow can we help North Koreans?โ.ย There are many ways but I would like to mention 3 for now.
One, as you care yourself, you can raise awareness about human crisis in North Korea.
Two, help and support North Korean refugees who are trying to escape for freedom.
Three, petition China to stop repatriation.
We have to shed the light in the darkest place in the world. It is not just North Korean human rights, it is our rights!
The North Korean dictators have violated for 7 decades. We need governments all around the world to put more pressure on China to stop repatriation. In particular, Chinese delegates of โOne Young Worldโ can play a part by speaking up. North Korea is indescribableโฆ No human deserves to be oppressed just because of their birthplace. We need to focus less on the regime and more on the people who are being forgotten.
โOne Young Worldโ, we are the ones who will make them visible. Please join me as we make this a global movement to free North Koreans. When I was crossing the Gobi desert, scared of dying, I thought nobody in this world cared. It seemed that only the stars were with meโฆ
But you have listened to my story. You have caredโฆThank you very much.

Iโm only 50% sure I know what the South Campus Chiller Plant actually does, but I know it looks really cool. Explore on UChicago Architecture.

Chicago is quite possibly the most beautiful, diverse city I have ever had the honor of exploring, and words can't contain how excited and blessed I feel to be living and studying in this amazing bastion of vitality for (at least) the next four years.
This video is merely a testament to Chicago's glory. Check out its cool takes of some of my future school's most famous locales!
vimeo
Watch this video for its awesome video of Rockefeller Chapel, the Robie House, and the Museum of Science and Industry, but also watch this video because itโs pretty dang cool.

From the Magazine archivesโ In honor of author J.K. Rowlingโs 49th birthday:
โHarry Potter and the Ivory Towerโ
Potter scholar John Granger, ABโ83, puts Rowlingโs series on a shelf with Bram Stoker, Geoffrey Chaucer, Jane Austen, and other Great Books authors.
โHarry Potter didnโt just drop out of the sky,โ Granger says. โPeople may be uncomfortable using the tools we use on William Shakespeare and Dante Alighieri on Joanne Rowling, but sheโs writing in a tradition that goes back to the Middle Ages and stretches all the way up from Samuel Taylor Coleridge through C.S. Lewis.โ

BIOSย 20170. Microbial and Human Cell Biology. 100 Units. Winter.
โThis course is the entry point into an integrated biology sequence designed to prepare non-science majors for applicationย to medical school. ย We explore topics in human cell biology within the context of evolutionary biology, chemistry, microbiology, and medicine. ย We pay special attention to the influence of prokaryotes on the history of life and toย the ecological interactions between humans and their microbiota, which have major implications for human health and disease. ย Students read and discuss papers from the scientific literature, attend discussions led by physicians and other medical professionals, and gain experience with microbiological and basic microscopy techniques and vertebrate dissection in lab.โ
