Colonialism

COLONIALISM: Colonialism is the building and maintaining of colonies in one territory by people based elsewhere. Colonialism is a process whereby sovereignty over the colony is claimed by the metropole, who impose a new government and perhaps a new social structure and economy. Colonialism comprises unequal relationships between metropole and colony and between colonists and the indigineous people.

__**-How does colonialism impact the culture of the society being colonized**__ Colonialism can make people very mad or frusterated. If someone changes their rules or traditons just because they don't believe or like them, then the people will get angry and it may cause fights. Changing someones beliefs is deffinitly something thats wrong to do. It is impacted by people not believing in someones religion so they try and change it to make it better. Or other people that try and change it may just think that they should be just like them so they have to change it. But in some cases Colonialism is a great helpful thing. If a country or nation is being treated badly or harmed and someone comes and changes how their being ruled, and it helps, then that is a great change. Other then that, no one should change anything in any nation, unless its helping.



__** -What are the long and short term effects of colonialism **__ Long term effects of colonialism can be people left angry with countries for months or even years. It can even lead to fights and even worse, wars. There could be some violence because of how they are mad at one another. Short effects could include anger for a short period of time, patitions, marchs, and protests.



__**-What political, economic and cultural factors led to colonialsm**__ Political factors play a huge role in colonialism. Other nations can look at a different nation and look at their political problems and change their hole nation around, thinking their making it easier. They could be angry with the leaders or rulers and the rules that they give. People viewing other nations economic problems make them want to try and help out to, so they change the way the country is ran. Also with cultural, people have their own views on cultural problems so they change everything around. Religion also plays a huge role, people don't understand others religion so they try and change the nation.



__**-Does colonialism improve or destroy culture**__ In some cases it does both. It can improve cultures by other countries helping out and fixing other cultures problems. If the people and community in the cultures are being harmed or hurt by the leaders than other people and leaders can come in and try and help. In other cases it can cause problems and difficulties. It can destroy a culture by changing rules or traditions that others think are unfair or not natural. Different cultures have different rules and religions and followings that people may try and change which will destroy their community and cultures. So in this case they can do both, improve by helping and destroy by changing



**__-Do more technologically advanced civilizations have the right to take what they need from less technologically advanced nations?__** No, I don't think they should take from anybody. Considering that they have more advanced technology then they should be helping the less technological nations. Helping with this problem would keep every nation up to speed with everything they need to know and up to date with technoloical materials and problems. Instead of taking or steal from people less fortinate they should buy or create the parts they need and give some other materials to the other nations.



__**-Do you think Colonialism in China is fair? What about all around the world?**__ In my opinion i think its sometimes fair and sometimes its not. It's fair when a country comes into another country and helps them because they are being treated badly or have bad leaders that arent helping. When others help other countries its fair to change rules and make things easier on everyone. I think its not fair when a country comes in and changes everyones beliefes and views on things just because they don't like it. They make major changes to the Government in that country and they make changes to the Envoirnment and Community. People end up getting angry and it results in fights and outbreaks. So, sometimes its a good thing and its a bad thing, not just in china but all over the world. No one should just be able to change someones religions,communities,or beliefs. If their helping out a disaster and decide to change something in that country than its okay to do.
