More Than 100 Years Later, the World I Live in Still Displays the Impact of the New Imperialism

Ok it is safe to say that the world that I live in today still shows effects of imperialism. You can see it almost all the time but no one actually sits down and thinks about it. For example, it is clear how much Europe has advanced. I mean all the new medical advances and military machinery. Then all those advances were spread through to most of the world and if you think about it...where did man know how to make cough syrup or how to make a gun? Everyone and everything starts somewhere and thanks to this imperialistic movement around the world we can see that.

Also we can clearly see that the strong and dominant countries end up taking over the weaker and less united countries. Just think about it...the United States is pretty powerful and with that being said we can also note how poor and weak Haiti is. With the United states government and help we can easily help them. But at the same time we could easily smush them and claim that land. However, the United States is not going to do that so no worries! :)

THINK ABOUT IT!!! THESE DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES DID NOT RANDOMLY APPEAR...THEY TOOK YEARS OF ADVANCES!

  1. Thanks, Anna. A couple of issues in 2nd and 3rd posts, but overall, a good job.
