Document Summary

Globalization is more than interdependence; a sense that the linkages among states are broader and deeper than ever before, and not just economically, culturally, transportation ally, etc. Languages are dying out (homogenization) due to globalization. The idea of identity being erased and a sense of loss occurring. It is not the multinational"s job to provide and think about their locals like it is for politicians; their job is to leave others out of poverty. Globalization has adverse effects on culture and the flattening of differences economically. Borrow from foreign banks and end up accruing a lot of national debt and sometimes some pay more debt than their national income. One way to solve this would be to allow for foreign investment in your country (not always the case though when multinationals make a profit for the nation, and could even drive businesses away) It hurts sovereignty because they become very dependent.

Did colonization bring more advantages to the countries that were colonized?

Unit 2: Historical Globalization: Two Views on Colonization

Colonialism in Africa lasted for a period of about eighty years. It began with the mad "Scramble for Africa" at the Berlin Conference in 1884. Major leaders of different European nations came together and agreed to the partition of the entire African continent.

Here are two views on colonization in Africa. Review each, summarize each side and state your opinion: Did colonization bring more advantages to the countries that were colonized?

Be sure to use vocabulary, concepts and terms from the course to support your thoughts.

VIEW ONE

The African continent was undeveloped, Europeans brought in opportunities for industrialization and employment
Europeans opened Africa up to trade and the benefits of science and civilization, to the invention of the wheel and writing
The imperialist nations built roads, railways, electric and telegraph lines in these remote areas
Europeans brought the benefits of peace, stability and education
When the colonists left, the trouble that followed independence was caused by tribalism and corruption

VIEW TWO

The continent of Africa was flourishing before the Europeans arrived, just in a different way from European ideals
Europeans came looking for loot - they found it in human slaves, many of whom were uprooted and forced to live in the Americas
This made Africa poor while Western countries became rich, especially as the slaves helped to support the Industrial Revolution
This gave the Europeans a sense of superiority which was interpreted as racial superiority. as this further encouraged more colonialism
Europe carved up Africa so it could more easily exploit Africa's mineral wealth
