The recent North Korean missile launch has caused great controversy. The threat of them using long range nuclear missiles that can possibly reach the United States is higher than ever before. Neighboring countries are becoming more concerned about their behavior on this matter. In response to these actions, the United States has stopped their export of food to the North Koreans.
Who do you think the audience is? Do you think this poses a significant nuclear threat? Is there anything either the United States or neighboring countries can do about it? Is right to stop the food aid given to the North Koreans in response to this? Do you think that due to the failure of the missile launch that is causes less of a threat? What should we do if they do successfully test a second missile? Is forceful intervention needed to secure peace of the world? What is a good resolution to this situation?

I could not care any less about North Korea, or any of this news. However, it is important that we keep ourselves safe from international threats. Not only do I agree that we cut off food from North Korea, I think we should boycott and blockade all trade with them entirely until they forfeit the nuclear weapons. If a nuclear strike were to ever occur, and if American lives were lost due to a lack of proactivity, then the only response would be to nuclear blast the entire military portion of North Korea to the point where they have no more military weapons, or leadership left.
We don't have to kill the civilians, just the military cuckoo's who control all this stuff, just the men responsible.
Kill or be killed.
As much as I don't like to admit.... ever since I've been in college I haven't been paying much attention to the news and the world around me, secluded in my own world known as the campus of Ohio State. Clearly, this is an important world event that could have detrimental effects on everyone. The audience is clearly Americans who watch the news, most likely informed and interested people. But the news is for the everyday American so news shows hope to target the average person.
I think that the United States can only go so far, yes, it is our duty as the United States and a world power to help different countries and protect the world's safety.... but we have out own problems that seem to be in more dire need of solutions like the economy, our own national security (I can't even think of anything at this point because I can't remember the last time I watched the news). Clearly, North Korea is not cooperating with the rest of the world, and although it is unfair to their innocent citizens, we can't keep putting time and energy into a lost cause. So maybe it is a good idea to stop giving aid. I don't think forceful intervention is a good idea at this point because clearly North Korea is not afraid to fight and the world does not need a war when many countries are struggling in their own ways.
The audience for this video is basically everyone who follow the news. North Korea's is being stubborn on this nuclear weapons issue and it definitely is a serious security treat especially to the neighbouring countries. However, the United States, as well as many other countries, have done what they could in order to stop the North Koreans but their unreasonable pride and stubborness kept them going and for now, there's probably no better alternative solution other than blocking the economic relationships with them. Militiary intervention, after all, is not appropriate though- they might, and probably will, defend themselves and that will cause more unneccessary damages and harms. Violence could not end violence.
The target audience of this video is adults. Although the missile launch would affect all Americans, the children don't watch the news so the main audience would be the adults who do watch it. I believe America has the right to stop the food aid given to North Koreans in response to this. North Korea is putting everyone in danger and there is no easy way for America to stop them. It is America's job to keep its citizens safe and even those around the world safe. While North Korea's citizens will suffer from the lack of aid, it is necessary in order to keep everyone else safe. America needs to be smart and only have forceful intervention if it is absolutely necessary. Intervening will be very expensive, but it should be done if that is the only way to keep everyone safe and secure the peace.
According to U.S. analysts, not only did the missiles fired into the air fail, but all of the other nuclear and tomahawk missiles that they're showcasing are fakes. So no, I do not think that North Korea poses a significant threat against us. Even if they really did have missiles capable of reaching us, we would most likely be able to shoot them down before they hit.
I think that it is right for us to stop giving food and aid to the North Koreans, because any of the aid we give them can easily just be taken by their military. As far as a good resolution to the situation, I'm not sure if there is one. If anything bad happens to any countries, including us, the UN will surely step in and at least offer some advice or help to whatever countries are affected.
The audience of this video is definitely any American that is old enough to be concerned with foreign affairs and nuclear warfare. I think that there will always be a nuclear threat coming from North Korea, at least until they decide to officially make peace with everyone else in the world. I don't think it's right to stop the food and aid given to the North Koreans in response to this because the people in the country are obviously not treated well by their government; thus, they still need supplies from countries like the US. I don't think that the failed missle launch means less of a threat because North Korea might be embarassed and try again. Forceful intervention might very well be needed to secure peace in the world, but we would certainly need several of the worlds most powerful forces to intervene and fight.
The audience of the video is everyone in the United States and other counties who feel threatened by North Korea. I feel as though the news anchors did not feel that this was a very big deal even though the news is very serious. They were almost laughing at North Koreas failure. Since the broadcast was so short, the importance of this news item was not very important like I had said before.
The audience to this video is everyone. It's international news. I believe North Korea and every other country of nuclear capabilities is a threat no matter if we are their friends. There's not much anyone can do about it. They're just testing the missiles. If another missile were to be successful we should continue to live the way we do. We have many counteractive nuclear bases the explode missiles before they land. U.S. is strongly defensed.
The audience for this video is everybody who cares about the international news. North Korea is the most isolated county in the world; it has being doing its own things since the Korea war. Although it possesses the nuclear capability, it doesn’t have the power to destroy a nation. Also the North Korea’s technology is not very advanced; therefore North Korea’s military force is not a threat to United States. However North Korea is a threat to international peace, it might try to unite Korea by force in the future, and if that happens thousands of people will die. We should always try the peaceful resolution first; if that didn’t work then we can use other method such as stop the food aid.
I think the audience for this is anyone within proximity to North Korea. I think North Korea does have the ability to cause a nuclear threat, but if they would, I don't think they have the strength to uphold themselves against other countries. There are many strong alliances now that would be able to easily over power them. The only issue is if they actually did decide to use a nuclear weapon, the amount of people that could die and be affected by radiation. I think it's a good thing that we've cut off food to them, and I think we should continue to limit resources until they agree to a resolution. If they don't agree to a resolution, then I do think forceful intervention may become a possibility eventually in the future to protect everyone.
This video looks like is targeting on those people who watches news and cares about international affairs. What I heard about this launch is that North Korea was launching an artificial satellite not missile. Rocket is different with missile, though they are in the same system. They have totally different purpose and application. Japan even want to use patriot missile to shoot it down, I don’t get it. Is it because of North Korea is in the evil country list? So, we have to use force to persuade the country? I consider this news is very misleading, it draw on the potential of threatening, use the word missile more than rocket and exaggerating the possibility of security threatening.
This article pertains to the American people obviously. I do see this as a threat to the United States and I also think that shutting down our imports to the North Korean's was a good move for us to make. When people are struggling and hungry, usually they'll make the changes that need to happen to obtain the foreign aid that they need. If they had a successful, second missle launch, obviously diplomatic action would have to happen. But if no treaty was made, obviously we would have to police the world like we've always done and induce the change that we want to happen.

The audience of this video would be young adults and older. I think it is a serious issue that North Korea is launching missiles. It doesn’t change how dangerous this could be even though the launch failed. I’m sure they will be right back at it. I don’t know if there is a whole lot that we can do. It is a very hard to decide when to intervene. It wouldn’t be appropriate to step in too early and upset more countries with our bullying attitude, but then again it could be catastrophic if we step in too late. If a second launch is successful it may be time for forceful intervention even though that is the last thing most people want right now. North Korea has shown over history that they don’t get along with other countries and they can pose a major threat to our security.
the audience of the video is informed adults who care about this developement. Many people do not beleive that this is a serious issue. It could almost be seen as a joke to some people, but it is anything but. A nuclear weapon in the hands of the North Koreans is not only dangorous to us but friendly asian nations as well.
Stopping food giving is a bold strategy. On one hand, it is possible that the discontinued giving will anger the North Koreans and cause them to plow ahead in research. The other side of the coin is that the leaders of North Korea will see thier people's need for food and stop nuclear research.
While the nation is reeling from the loss of Kim Jong Il, our diplomats should step in and attempt to reason with this new administration. It is our best defense against a nuclear war.
I believe the audience here is the American public, especially people in the armed forces since they are the ones defending our country. In my opinion, I think that the missiles do pose a threat to the United States, even if the first one launched did fail. The North Koreans could improve the quality of their missiles whenever they get the chance, which is why it is important for countries in danger to respond to the matter now. I would hate to imagine that forceful intervention would be needed to stop North Korea from threatening world peace. I wouldn't want to end up in a situation in North Korea that is similar to that of Iraq. I will leave the decision about forceful intervention to the Commander in Chief though. In regards to taking away the food supply from North Korea, I see that as unfortunate. Innocent people are suffering, which I don't believe is fair.
The audience for this video is basically anyone interested in politics and watch the news. That could be any one of us, even if your not interested in politics, its public safety that grabs anyone's attention. I think the U.S, with the help of any major political power, can issue penlites on North Korea for these unsafe experiments that could lead to a disaster, it's definitely a threat. Cutting the food aid to north Korea is not really the solution. its the government not the civilians that need to be punished.forceful intervention is needed if the traditional communication processes failed to achieve its goals. A good solution from my point of view is issuing economic penalties on N.Korea, that might force N.korea to slow down its plans a little bit.
The audience for this video is anyone who watches the news and keeps up on current events. I think that North Korea definitely poses a threat to the United States but I do not think the United States should cut off the civilians' food supply. The civilians have no control over the matter and would most likely starve without the food supply. The United States along with other powerful countries need to join together and intervene on this matter in order to keep the citizens in many countries including the United States safe.
The audience of this video is mainly Americans. This event should be semi-alarming to all countries, but mainly America. I honestly don't think stopping food aid is going to do a lot. It may upset the citizens, but for them to be upset enough to riot against their leaders seems a little farfetched. I think the failure of the missile launch is going to cause them to maybe feel embarrassed and thus try to come back with something more powerful, just to show that they are serious. I think forceful intervention could be a resolution to this situation, but if it means our troops are going to have to be in Korea for 15+ years, it is definitely not the solution.
