Ideology can be viewed from different perspectives in terms of how people perceive it. Some people think ideology is bad, while others think it is good. Ideology takes a very harmful path in Christianity; Pope Francis explains to Christians that ideology alienates the Church and the people. From his point of view, ideology is a “serious illness”.

Juche has two parts; “Ju” means “master” or “main element,” while “che” means being “all.” (James) North Korea began using Juche on December 6, 1967, when Kim Il Sung used Juche for a speech. (Ilpyong) Juche consists of philosophy, loyalty and dedication to leaders such as Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il and Kim. Jong Eun. This ideology is also a tool through which these leaders can express their ideas on how to govern North Korea.

(Juche Religion) North Koreans show respect to their leaders by bowing to them every day, and people who save portraits from burned houses are praised across the country.
