African Imperialism Part 2

10. The UN,(united nations,) is an international organization designed for the sole purpose of reaching and maintaining peace and harmony throughout the countries of the world on a global scale. They solve issues and problems as such, and have continued their efforts. They chose to minor help sierra Leone's civil war, and not acting in the way they should have. I think that they thought the war would control itself by ending. And they chose not to act so they would not be interfering or appearing to "control" Africa. I think that the UN and those powerful countries should step in and help. Because, it has previously been controlled by powerful countries. so, they should lend help since they already were involved. Besides, this could culminate in an even bigger warfare next time. They could remove the RUF permanently, get rid of corruption within the govt, and help crate a more secure political rule, by having more good elected officials. Also, they could provide better education.

African Imperialism Part 1

1. The Industrial Revolution was a period in Great Britain, where businesses boomed, jobs were in surplus, and economic growth ensued. With this, came the idea of laissez-faire,(meaning let people do as they wish,) or Capitalism; an economic system which proposed the idea of businesses having no govt involvement. With all this success, came a need for resources and cheap labor. And there just so happens, that there was in fact a continent with both: Africa. This huge continent had key points needed for any ongoing industrialized country. A coastline for trading, many resources,and great places for trading, like the "Suez Canal". In short, Africa was a the fuel needed for the fire, that is:The IndustrialRev

5. I do believe that Imperialism is in fact inevitable. Because,it is in human nature to expand on power that is already obtained. Even if it means crushing other people along the way. Though this may be wrong, I do not think we should strive for pure equality of power and wealth. Why? Because this eliminates individuality, and when other people have something more than another person, they work to gain more than the person ahead of them. This betters the economy and society as a whole. However, the case differs for control of another country, because then ethics comes into play.
