Colonialism and imperialism
Imperialism and colonialism involved the conquest and rule of other lands and peoples. From 1870 onward, European powers aggressively expanded their colonial empires, driven by economic, political, and ideological motives. They sought raw materials, markets, and national prestige. By the late 19th century, most of Africa and Asia was under European control as a result of the "scramble for Africa" and colonial expansion in Asia. The consequences of imperialism were mixed, providing some benefits but also economic exploitation and loss of culture for colonized peoples. Colonial expansion also increased tensions between European powers.

It outlines previous attempts at integration through the British West Indies Federation in 1958 and CARIFTA in 1965.

Its main objectives are improving economic development through free trade and coordinating policies across member states.
Cultural imperialism
This document discusses cultural imperialism, post-colonialism, and their relationship to media. It defines cultural imperialism as one culture dominating another through military, economic, technological, or media influence. Post-colonialism examines media through the lens of colonialism's aftermath. The document argues that Western media, like Hollywood films, can spread Western culture and values globally, functioning as a tool of cultural imperialism. It provides examples of how British colonial rule influenced cultures and how the U.S. culture dominates through media like film.

Roaring twenties
The document discusses life and culture in America during the 1920s. It describes how urbanization led more Americans to live in cities, with New York City home to over 5 million people by 1920.

One clash between rural and urban areas was Prohibition, supported by rural religious groups but opposed by city dwellers, leading to bootlegging and organized crime. Overall, the 1920s saw social changes like women gaining independence, the rise of new media and popular culture, but also a growth in racism exemplified by the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan.

While watching the video, A Dream Deferred, it focused on the African American struggle and how majority of the labor was forced onto one race. While sharecropping, the African Americans were able to remain together without the risk of possibly being separated from their children. Although this was not truly a sense of freedom, they valued the fact that they were able to stay together. Jim Crow Laws were affirmed leaving long term implications and causing more damage and separation with the African Americans and Caucasians. During this time, African American voters stopped voting due to be intimidated and mocked for their illiteracy.
Even worse, during this time lynching was a huge occurrence. Before the Civil War, lynching didn’t occur as often due to there being slaves and they were considered as property, whereas afterwards the property no longer had value. The thought of losing their lives was a never-ending thought that worried them. There were places that African Americans knew they couldn’t go to prevent them from being beaten or even sent to jail.
The African Americans began to create their own “south”. Although they didn’t accomplish all that they wanted to, they did make huge strides. W. E. B. DuBois was a brilliant man that spoke loudly and profoundly seeking for fairness amongst the laws pertaining to blacks and whites. He was an advocate about black kids being educated. This was not just fair, or important, it was ethically the right thing to do.
When I reviewed this video and reflected over the contents, I can’t help but wonder with all the strides taken and all the changes that have occurred, how do we still seem to be so far behind? I have been faced with being ostracized due to my race and even today there has been a few times where one of my children has been called a racial hateful term. Change is not just a fad, it is necessary and must be positive. I understand that not everyone sees a problem with the history of our country and how it was in the past vs. how it is now. However, there is still work to be done. The fact that I am a police officer now speaks volumes about the changes that have taken place and I am grateful for that. No race should ever be ostracized or made to feel less than due to the color of their skin. What additional steps do you think can be taken to continue to work on mending the racial divide and gaps in our county?

Arthur robinson essay
- 1. Robinson1 Arthur Robinson January 7, 2014 English V Ms. Amaya Slaveries Positive Effect Slavery was terrible but also had a positive effect on us. With slavery we were able to come to the U.S. We also made an impact on society. Slavery also helped us produce our inventions and science we use today. Slavery had a positive effect on us in its own way. A positive in slavery was that we were able to come to the U.S. With that we were able to build up on the population. Slavery also made it possible for us to mix up the population. Without slavery I think it would not be possible for us to come to the U.S. There were facts and opinion to this resource. Slavery also helped us with inventions and science. We made it possible for clothes to be made quicker. We also invented a lot of food, products and many more. Just a few names to throw out Madam C.J. Walker, George Washington Carver. We were able to succeed and making the United States a better place to live in. We also shaped the way the United States is today. Without us being in the United States we would have been able to defeat Britain in the Revolutionary War. We also had political leaders in the world. We were able to make the United States Army stronger than it was at first. Whites were even being nice to us for letting us come to the United States. Even though slavery was a terrible thing it also had some positive things happened to us. We were able to bring music, dance, and our culture to this country. It also helped us have our inventions and science made quicker with us being a slave and working. By force we were able
