Progressive thinker?

After a discussion with my parents, I found out that a progressive thinker is someone that thinks ahead and thinks beyond than what people ussualyy think. A progressive thinker is w-one that is not afraid of reaching higher expectations to arive to a higher point of thinking. A progressive thinker never gives up because they know that the solution is always there somewhere and we will not find it by giving up.



A majorly discussed issue that has been spredding worldwide is the ecenomic crisis. Unnemployement is becoming a bigger and bigger problem all around the world. This leads to less consumers for products because of lack of money and therefor this causes less money for the buyer and so on. It is a very serious problem and with the increase of this problem or spread, there is the increase of poverty as well.


A progressive thinker would go beyong what people say about solutions to economic crisis and find a solution that required higher thinkingmight be to encourage people to have more bussinesses becaue it will help people leave unemployement.

Imperialism? Pro or anti

By the late 1800 America, the industrial revolution had changed America
completely and everyone’s daily lives were majorly altered. Because of the
extraordinary economical increase, America became imperialistic in order to
seek control and power over less industrialized nations.



There are many things that cause imperialism, however there were four
important factors that lead to imperialism in the late 1800’s.
These are: economic factors, nationalistic factors, military factors
and humanitarian factors. Economic factors are when there was a great
increase of factories all around Europe and these factories needed some
materials or resources from smaller or lesss strong nations therefore the
developed and strong nations seeked to gain control over them to get the
resources. Nationalistic factors also lead to imperialism because
nationalism is an extreme patriotism were the people of the nation believe
that they are superior to others and only believe in their ideas and beliefs.
Nationalism leads to nations thinking that they are the only ones that are
important and all the other nations are worthless, therefore they try to
gain control over them. Military factors caused imperialism because the
military forces in Europe were a lot more powerful than those in Africa
and Asia however strong navies needed bases and resources from smaller
nations all around the world. The final factor that caused imperialism is
humanitarian factor, in developed and strong nations people wanted to
spred their culture and health system in other smaller nations and this
lead to imperialism.



There are many examples of imperialism the first one being how the state sent
50,000 troups to mexico in order to threaten france because they had put an emporor
in mexico. Another example is when William Seward decided to buy Alaska from
Russia to gain control over more land. The Americans did not understand why
Seward chose Alaska, but later, they found out that Alaska had la lot of very useful
resources that America needed. A third and very important example is when Cuba
asked for America’s help when they were in rebellion with spain because the
president Mckinley didn’t accept to give cuba independence. This started the Spanish-
american war which lead to numerous battles, but finally came to an end after the
navy of America sank many Spanish ships. After that came a treaty that allowed Cuba
to have it’s independence and for 20 million dollars, Spain gave the united states:
Puerto rico, guam and the Philippines. This expanded united states land and the u.s
gained control over the philipines, guam and Puerto rico.



Imperialism had both positive and negative effects. It helped increase the
economy. However it had several negative effects, imperialism caused war. Another
negative effect is that there were many people for and against imperialism and this
lead to the creation of two opposite groups against each other: the pro imperialism
and the against imperialism. There also was a lot of exploitation and many people saw
imperialism differently and so not everyone accepted change.



There were lots of people who were for imperialism and many who were against. Both sides had very specific and logical
arguments. People who were for imperialism said that it would benefit the
economy greatly since it increased productivity and increased the economy. People who were against were anti-imperialists
and believed that it was not constitutional to expand into other countries and nations.




Personally i am anti imperialism. Yes imperialism is supposed to help a nation become better but some
people do not see it as help and some people do not accept it. Also sometimes it is for their own benefit. I think that every
nation should deal with their nation and not interfere with others.
