Imperialism today is not often quite as blatent as it was in the past

Examples of imperialism today is bullying, Kids trying to take advantage of other kids because they are smaller and weaker. Taking away their pride and self respect by beating you or humiliating you.
Rasicm is also another type of imperialism trying to take advantage of another race because you think they are inferior and below them so they treat them like dirt.

Anjother type of imperialism is economic imperialism which a huge corporation  such as Google buys out a less richer company such as Apple but they suck so Google will not bother . But the point is that the bigger company will take over and use thier resources for the own benefit without sharing the income with them.

So Imperialsim back then is not really different from the different ttypes of imperialsim we have today , their is npothing different imperialism is imperialism.

1930's Reflection

The 1930's was a much simpler time back then. I recently did some research on my school before it was actually my school. It was William Penn high for girls, I read some of their dreams and achievements. They were different then the dreams my generation have now. I would say they thought '' inside the box'' they wanted to become things like a mother of twelve and other weird things. There was nothing complicated really in that era.
 It would be VERY difficult for me back then because the technology was horrible to me there were no cell phones how am I supposed to text?!? or even go on Youtube we all love us some Youtube.

What I like about that era though is the fast paced music and the dances. The moves such as the Charleston chew are moves we today just give them a different name and twist. These kind of things were the foundation to build up something more.

Billie Holiday "Don't Explain"

Billie Holidays song don't explain is about her man doing whatever he wants and she still wants him. She does not care what he has done in the past. She just loves him no matter what. She tells him not to explain anything he has did even though she knows he cheated. She says that he is her join and pain. She basically says they that belong together. This song is similar to Mariah Carey's "We belong together". The song is about her not caring about what anyone says just like Billie Holiday. For instance she said "when you left i lost a part of me ,she felt empty inside meaning she needed him and he needed her.

Do you support imperialism for your country?


Yes, I do support imperialism because there are many good benefits coming from it. It helps improve the colony, the country that we are imperializing and also the people living in it. Our country would have colonies that are able to give us more land for more and better resources than what we already have now. The more land that we have, the more people we need to put at work for business. The population will start to gradually grow which means a larger work force often times for lower wages. This offers more job opportunities for those who are struggling without a job. Also, this can lead to gaining more successful businesses that we have as a whole. Since we have a lot of land, it gives us an easier access to goods because instead of trading and wasting more money by buying it elsewhere, it’s way cheaper to get it at home.

Should countries pursue policies of imperialism, or empire expansion?

I believe that countries should pursue empire expansion , But in a different sense. We become a partnership  instead of taking their resources for our own needs . We should trade them our goods in exchange for theirs so we can both make a substantial amount of money doesn't that sound lovely? I thought it would , I'm  a anti imperialist myself but I love taking over but I love sharing the power equally even better. In a sense though if a weak country needs help a bigger country shouldn't take them over expand their territory because they know they have the upper advantage they should help them so we all can be on equal terms in my opinion.
