Imperialism involves extending a country's power and influence through military or diplomatic means. It often involves colonialism, where a country takes control of another, occupies it with settlers, and exploits its resources. Social Darwinism and the concept of the "White Man's Burden" were used to justify imperialism and racism, arguing that white people needed to civilize other cultures. The Scramble for Africa in the late 19th century saw rapid colonization of the continent by European powers through conferences like the Berlin Conference. Colonized peoples often resisted losing their independence and having their way of life changed by colonizers seeking to industrialize and exploit foreign lands for resources.

The upper class comprises 1-3% of the population but holds over 25% of the nation's wealth. The middle class is divided into lower-middle and upper-middle classes. The working class includes blue-collar and service workers, and the lower class experiences poverty. Social class is determined by factors like wealth, education, occupation, and life experiences. People can move between classes through career or financial changes.
Social darwinism
Social Darwinism applied Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection to human societies, believing that society should allow the "survival of the fittest" through minimal interference, such as in the relationship between workers and employers, and that governments should follow a laissez-faire approach to capitalism.
Social inequality in bangladesh
Social inequality exists in Bangladesh and is evident across several dimensions including education, employment, health, and income. Inequalities exist between gender, rural/urban areas, and socioeconomic classes. Literacy and education completion rates are higher for males compared to females.

Poverty rates remain higher in rural areas compared to urban areas. Occupational inequalities also exist across class and caste divisions in Bangladeshi society. The document analyzes trends in these various forms of social inequality in Bangladesh over time.
Social Darwinism
Social Darwinism applied Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection to human society. According to Social Darwinism, only the "fittest" individuals could survive and flourish in the marketplace. Many business tycoons in the late 19th century used Social Darwinism to justify their wealth and power, arguing that it was acquired through hard work and that those who failed did so due to their own shortcomings. While Social Darwinism appealed to businessmen, others like Andrew Carnegie argued that the wealthy had a duty to use their fortunes to advance society through philanthropic works. Writers like Horatio Alger also promoted the idea that anyone could become wealthy through hard work and virtue.

The Industrial Revolution Presentation
Industrialization began in England first due to several key factors:
1) Agricultural advances increased food production and freed up labor to work in factories.
2) England's colonial expansion and international trade networks accumulated capital for investment.
3) The Enclosure Movement consolidated small land holdings into larger commercial farms.
4) Inventions like the steam engine and cotton gin drove new technologies and industries.
Industrial Revolution Powerpoint
The Industrial Revolution began in England due to natural resources like coal and iron, new technologies like the steam engine, and a growing population. Key inventions like James Watt's improved steam engine and Bessemer's steel production process drove technological advancement and industrialization.

Unit 4 vocab 7
The document defines imperialism as extending the power and dominion of a nation through direct territorial acquisitions or indirect political and economic control over other areas. It also defines annexation as attaching or appending one thing, especially one that is larger or more significant, to another. Social Darwinism justified imperialism by saying that stronger countries could take what they wanted based on survival of the fittest, while the "White Man's Burden" portrayed Europeans as having a duty to civilize other "inferior" races. The Scramble for Africa in the late 1800s led European powers to colonize most of the continent at the Berlin Conference for resources and power, with the exceptions of Ethiopia and Liberia remaining independent.
Imperialism
Imperialism involved the domination of one nation over others through unequal economic and political relationships such as colonialism and annexation. Social Darwinism applied Darwin's theory of evolution to society, believing that nations would compete to dominate each other for power and resources. Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden" portrayed imperialism as a duty for white men to civilize other nations, though it often exploited local populations for economic gain. The scramble for Africa in the late 19th century saw European powers invade and colonize most of the continent, excluding only Liberia and Ethiopia.
Impearalism
Imperialism involves extending a country's power and influence through military or diplomatic means. Colonialism is acquiring political control over another country and exploiting it economically, often involving settlers. Social Darwinism justified imperialism by arguing the strong nations had a right to rule weaker ones based on survival of the fittest. Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden" promoted the idea that white people had a duty to civilize non-white people through colonialism. Racism and paternalism sometimes motivated missionaries to try to convert indigenous people to their religions. The Scramble for Africa from 1876 to 1912 saw European powers invade, occupy, and annex much of the continent at the Berlin Conference. Nationalism involves devotion to
Imperialism
Imperialism involves one state exerting political control and economic exploitation over weaker states. Colonialism is when a state politically controls another, while annexation incorporates a state into another state's territory. Social Darwinism was used to justify imperialism, arguing stronger societies had a right to rule weaker ones. The "White Man's Burden" asserted white men had a duty to civilize primitive countries. Racism and paternalism characterized the missionary impulse to convert indigenous peoples. The Scramble for Africa in the 1800s saw European powers invade and occupy the continent, except for Liberia and Ethiopia. Nationalism promoted pride in one's country through military and economic strength. Colonized peoples often rebelled against foreign domination.
Unit 4 - The Age of Imperialism - Vocabulary
Imperialism is defined as a policy of extending a country's power and influence through military force or diplomacy. Colonialism involves acquiring political control over another country through occupation and exploitation. Social Darwinism and the idea of the "White Man's Burden" were used to justify imperialism and racism. The Scramble for Africa from 1880 to 1914 was a period where European powers rushed to colonize the African continent. Nationalism led colonizing countries to feel superior over colonized nations.
Colonialism in Indonesia: Resistance and Accomodation
Colonialism in Indonesia faced both resistance and accommodation. Resistance came in the form of nationalist movements led by educated elites and political parties that educated the masses and spread nationalism. Publications in both Dutch and local languages helped spread awareness of colonial abuses and the nationalist cause, gaining sympathy. Accommodation occurred through the collusion of local rulers seeking selfish gains, and from ignorance and feelings of powerlessness among uneducated groups. Soekarno defined imperialism as "a lust" and "system" that directs another people's economy and country against their will for the benefit of the colonizing power.
Immigration as "Racial" Policy
Though politicians and members of their constituencies argue immigration policy from seemingly infinite perspectives and sides, one point stands clear and definite: decisions as to who can enter the United States and who can eventually gain citizenship status generally depends of issues of “race,” for U.S. immigration systems reflect and serve as the country’s official “racial” policies.
IMAGINED COMMUNITIES
Benedict Anderson's seminal work "Imagined Communities" explores the concept of nationalism and how nations are imagined communities. Anderson defines the nation as an imagined political community that is inherently limited and sovereign. He believes print capitalism and the spread of print languages were important factors in enabling the imagining of communities beyond face-to-face interaction and the development of national consciousness. The work examines the origins and spread of nationalism throughout history.

Imperialism
Imperialism involved countries extending their power and influence through military or diplomatic means. Colonialism was the practice of acquiring political control over another country, settling it, and exploiting its resources. During the Scramble for Africa from 1880-1900, European powers invaded, occupied, and annexed African territories, dividing the continent among themselves. They justified this through social Darwinism and beliefs of racial and cultural superiority, seeking to civilize the people and impose their rule, which often led to resistance from colonized nations seeking independence and self-determination.

Martin Delany, “Father of Black Nationalism and "Friend and Rival of Frederic...
Martin Delany was an important 19th century Black abolitionist and nationalist who argued for Black emigration from the United States. He lived in Pittsburgh for many years and published one of the first Black newspapers there. Though initially collaborating with Frederick Douglass, Delany came to advocate for Black communities leaving the U.S. to achieve equality and rights, traveling to explore potential emigration sites in Africa and South America. Despite their philosophical differences, Delany and Douglass remained lifelong friends and rivals who debated the issues of their time. Delany is now largely forgotten compared to Douglass, partly due to their diverging views on assimilation versus separation.
Slavery as a cause of the civil war
Slavery was the central issue dividing the Northern and Southern United States and the primary cause of the Civil War. The Southern economy depended on slave labor for cotton production, while the North rejected slavery and embraced industrialization. Life for slaves was brutal, with frequent beatings, malnutrition, and lack of basic necessities even for children. Slave owners justified slavery through claims of black racial inferiority, despite slaves making up a large portion of the population. The divisions between the free North and slave-holding South grew too deep to be resolved through compromise, making war inevitable to decide the issue of slavery in America.
Schlesinger 2013
Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. was a historian and critic of multiculturalism who believed it promoted separatism over national unity. He argued multiculturalism abandoned the goal of assimilation and integration in favor of emphasizing distinct ethnic identities. While recognizing the value of understanding other cultures, Schlesinger felt taking multiculturalism too far undermined the idea of a shared American identity and culture. His critiques remain controversial and debated in discussions around education and national identity.

Ethnic and Immigration
The document discusses ethnicity and immigration in America. It covers several topics:
1) It describes the ethnic mix in America, including indigenous peoples and both voluntary and involuntary immigrants. It also discusses questions of religion, allegiance, and national pride among ethnic groups.
2) It discusses the concepts of assimilation, the melting pot, and Americanization theories about how immigrants would adopt American values and identities. However, it also notes that maintaining ethnic traditions has become more accepted.
3) It examines literature by ethnic authors that aims to reclaim and reinhabit cultural identities, such as works by Native American authors Leslie Marmon Silko and Louise Erdrich. Their writing preserves tribal traditions and communal identities.

Respiratory System
This document discusses the respiratory system and its functions. It describes the upper respiratory system including the nose, mouth, pharynx, epiglottis, and larynx. The lower respiratory system includes the trachea, bronchi, bronchial tree, bronchioles, alveoli, lungs, and diaphragm. Various types of breathing such as inhalation, exhalation, and respiration are also defined. The document then provides details about parts of the upper and lower respiratory systems. It concludes by mentioning some respiratory conditions in elephants such as tuberculosis.
Circulatory research
The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. It transports nutrients, oxygen, water, and waste such as carbon dioxide throughout the body via the major arteries and veins. The circulatory system acts as a highway connecting body cells. Blood moves through the heart and is composed of components that aid its function of transporting materials.
Nervous system
The nervous system controls voluntary and involuntary movement through networks of neurons that send signals between different parts of the body. It consists mainly of bundles of long nerve fibers called neurons. There are three main types of neurons - sensory neurons that carry impulses from stimuli to the brain/spinal cord, connecting neurons that relay impulses between neurons in the brain and spinal cord, and motor neurons that carry impulses from the brain/spinal cord to muscles and glands to elicit responses. Each neuron has an axon, cell body, and dendrites that receive and propagate nerve impulses.
Painting an Animal Project
The document lists the names of various bones and muscles in the human skeletal system. It includes bones such as the skull, vertebrae, ribs, pelvis, femur, tibia and bones in the hands and feet. It also lists muscles like the masseter, pectorals, triceps, biceps, trapezius, latissimus dorsi, gluteals and others. Additional information is provided about red marrow, yellow marrow, compact bone, spongy bone, periosteum and sarcomeres.

This document discusses the muscular system. It defines key muscle vocabulary terms and describes the three main types of muscle cells - skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells - and their functions, locations, and appearances. It also explains the sarcomere, the basic unit of a muscle cell, describing how actin and myosin fibers interact to cause muscle contraction using ATP as an energy source.
Skeletal research
The document discusses the skeletal system. It describes the main parts of the skeletal system including bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and joints. It explains the functions of the skeletal system are to provide structure, allow movement, protect organs, produce blood cells, store minerals, and regulate hormones. The document also details the different types of bones, bone marrow, and joints in the skeletal system.
Week 2 dogs
The document discusses the characteristics of several dog breeds including the German Shepherd, Old English Sheepdog, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Shetland Sheepdog, Brittany Spaniel, and English Bulldog. For each breed, defining traits such as size, coat, temperament and activity level are presented along with their herding or nonsporting group classification.

The document discusses 5 herding dog breeds: the Australian Cattle Dog, Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, Cardigan Welsh Corgi, and Collie. For each breed, it lists their scientific name, defining characteristics such as size, energy level and coat colors, and that they are all in the herding dog group.
Periodic table
The document summarizes the periodic table, including who created it and how elements are organized. Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer independently developed the periodic table around the same time, but Mendeleev published his first. The periodic table arranges elements by atomic number and groups them according to metal/non-metal properties and families such as noble gases, halogens, and transition metals. It also provides examples of the elements boron, aluminum, and beryllium, where they are found and some of their uses.
The Revolutions
The document summarizes several revolutions and political philosophers that influenced the development of democracy:
1) It describes revolutions in England including the Magna Carta, Glorious Revolution, and English Bill of Rights that limited the power of monarchs and established more power for parliament.
2) The Enlightenment period encouraged ideas of logic, criticism, freedom and individual rights which further pushed democracy.
3) Philosophers discussed include Montesquieu, Locke, Rousseau, and Jefferson. Locke's ideas of natural rights to life, liberty and property influenced Jefferson in writing the Declaration of Independence.
