Colonialism and Imperialism

For human geo class we had an hour late bell schedule because we came in an hour late. The first thing we did in class was take a little pop quiz, but it was posted on his blog we do not know when the next pop quiz would pop up. The first part of the quiz was a duplicate of the quiz we took earlier which was on matching up the correct world leader with the country they were the leader of. On the first quiz I had gotten a 100 and I expect that I got all of these correct also. On the back was the new part of the quiz it asked questions about the world leaders and events in their life that made them the leader they are. It also gave information on what kind of leader and qualities they would have. We were allowed to use our blogs with the quiz, but I felt confident that I knew the answers and was paying attention to them that I did not need to look at my blog to get a 100%. In the next part of class after we had finished our quiz we moved on and talked about imperialism and colonialism. There are some countries that think that we are imperialistic because we are taking away their culture because of things such as McDonalds and the things they eat. These countries sometimes are very annoyed and irritated by us, such as Venezuela. The other word that we had learned today in class was colonialism. Colonialism is controlling state invades another region for its resources or immigration. Colonialism is one of the ways a country may accomplish imperialism. The powerpoint that was presented to us was made by a college professor.
