Could you complete the assignment listed below in APA
format?
Colonialism in Southeast Asia and the Austral and Pacific
Realms
As you have learned thus far in the course, Europe influenced
many cultures by colonizing other countries and meshing
European tradition and ways of life with the native cultures they
ruled. In past assignments, you have explored this influence
from the perspective of a peasant farmer, or the indigenous
culture as a whole. In this Application Assignment, however,
you will examine the impact of a colonial ruler from the ruler's
perspective to see how your influence changes the region.
Choose one of the following regions to research in depth: the
Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar/Burma, Malaysia, Timor,
Cambodia, Laos, Australia, New Zealand, Melanesia,
Micronesia, or Polynesia.
Consider the impact of the colonial ruler on the local cultures
and economy of the region you chose.
Reflect on the experience of the colonial ruler coming into this
foreign region, and how the ruler may have gone about
colonizing these areas.
The assignment:
Compose a 1 - 2 page essay in which you write from the
perspective of a colonizing ruler and answer the following:
What actions did you take to colonize the countries that you
ruled? How did your actions impact the people and the
economy?
How did you use the surrounding oceans and other bodies of
water to your benefit?
Considering the state of the region today. How is your influence
still evident?
If you could go back and colonize the area again, what might
you do differently and what results do you expect for your
country and for the colonized country? If you would do nothing
differently, explain why.
