Yes I do support imperialism for my country. We are all naturally born imperialists. We in any type of way try to imperialise other people. Imperialism has many benefits that come along with it. Our country would be granted more resources and would be given the chance to industrialise itself more. The more workers we have, the more successful businesses we will have as a country and people.
Since the state of this country isn't as great as it should be, imperialism is a definite option. Desperate times call for desperate measures. If we must take over another landmass to thrive, then we will do so. There is no question behind it honestly. We will do what we must to survive.
Sure we might not be thinking clearly about the consequences, since when does that matter. This is America, we can do what we want. We hold no time for judgement. America will fight for the better of its well being.

Imperialism today is not often quite as blatent as it was in the past. What are some examples of imperialism today? How is it different or similar from the past? Explain
Examples of imperialism today are robbery; a person or a people taking something that is not rightfully theirs in an act of aggression. This is has been around since the beginning of time. People do it to try and better themselves without thinking how they break down another person or people. Today there is more of this than there has been lets say a hundred years ago.
Bullying is also a part of imperialism today. You see kids trying to control kids of the same age or older people. They take your money, make fun of you, beat you down and take your pride.
Racism can be part of this as well. Back then people were highly against others who weren't of the same race, religion, or family.
All these contribute to imperialism in general. Past or present, it is all the same because you're still taking advantage of another person. But I wonder. Can imperialism be related to animals?

Should countries pursue policies of imperialism, or empire expansion?
I think countries should pursue policies of imperialism rather than empire expansion. An empire can expand as much as it wants. The issue is How they do it. With policies of imperialism, it can be inferred that ones country will be limited to specific details on how they can take a part of another country. The key here is having an equal advantage that benefits all of the world.
Take imperialism in China for example. The Spheres of Influence. Every country involved was somehow limited to something. Whether it be not being able to interfere with another country's trade or not being able to make one sphere more powerful than the others. Every one had an equal chance to have more power in some type of way.
If a country were to pursue policies of empire expansion, how would anyone cooperate? A country some how in some way needs to expand its empire. Have you thought about their motives? What if they are in need of certain resources for their country?

Individual Reflection
For my groups presentation, I believe that we did a well job on keeping what we talked about to the point without any nonsense. We gave our audience the mot important information they needed to know and managed to have well put together explanations.
What could have been improved was the design we had for vertical and horizontal integration. The poster was all beat up and I believe that people couldn't see what we were exactly discussing with them. Other than this I believe that there was nothing else that could have been improved. Given what the teacher said, all presentations had gotten stronger with the next. So I suppose we were the strongest group because we went last. We kept if brief and to the core.
I pretty much know this because of the time span that presenting all of these chapters took. Plus our classmates were losing interest of paying attention. Evidently we saved our presentation for the next day when people were likely to pay more attention than they did before.

Do you think an individual today can rise from "rags to riches" like Andrew Carnegie did? Why or why not?
I guess it all depends on the product that you're trying to produce and sell. Lets say you want to be a manufacturer of a new guitar line. If you are able to produce them efficiently and make them last an extremely long time then yes I do believe an individual can rise from rags to riches.
But it's not the same as it was a hundred years ago. Nowadays we're running out of certain resources and that holds a great problem depending on what you're trying to sell. The more you have the less you can sell it for. The less you have, the price begins to range higher.
It is not really hard to start a business. The key factor in it is how you're able to get your product(s) out there in the world so you can make profit. The world works in weird ways all the time.

In this photo, I see a crowded room full of men. This place doesn't look healthy, given by what I see. It looks like everything is piled up onto other things. Looking at the faces of these men makes me feel like they're uncomfortable, and depressed. But ultimately shows the blank expression on their faces. "This is life." These men feel tired and over worked. All they have is a blanket to cover themselves up in.
Where do they store their food? I see bowls and pots, but no food storage. Is it illegal to store food in your compartment at that time? Did food have to be given to you?
These people are hit by the harsh realities of life. I am pretty sure that they aren't that well paid either. Is this because they are immigrants? I believe that this is unfair. Although this is a big part of life during this time period.

Compare industrialization in China today to the description of a Carnegie factory of the past
In China today workers work over 60 hours a week. Some have 24 hour shifts. Working conditions over there are terrible. These people work for less and live horribly. They have 20 people sharing 3 tiny apartment complex rooms. These workers are barely fed. How can you just be fed a biscuit and tea?
Andrew Carnegie's steel mills were basically the same. This man worked his employees to death and hardly ever paid them. Some one was always at there death in those mills. Safety was a big issue. There "protective gear" consisted only of two layers of wool long johns. Definitely not enough protection if you are working around high flames, breaking chains, and tired as ever.
These workers work to create something so efficient, but receive less than what they should. But I guess some people have to go through hard times to set themselves at a successful position in their lives.
