A central idea of the article is "North Korea is an oppressive state that seeks to create unity by controlling its citizens’ actions at all times."

This is completely true because North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un is an authoritative ruler -a dictator- that controls the will of the people. North Korean citizens do not have liberties and they have to obey Kim's orders. Kim rules a Communist nation that limits political freedoms, freedom of speech, and decides over the economics and politics of North Korea.
