Imperialism in Southeast Asia

Some results of imperialism in Southeast Asia was that their colonization brought mixed results: economies grew, road, harbors, and railroads improved transportation.

The Pacific Rim is on the Asian countries that border the Pacific Ocean. Europe desired the Pacific Ocean land for their strategic location along the sea route to china. Also the Pacific Rim was helpful to grow crops and business.

The Dutch, British, and French went to Southeast Asia to make money by growing coconut, sugar cane, pineapple, coffee, bananas, and rubber. The French, Emperor Napoleon III order the French army to invade southern Vietnam. What the British did was encourage the Chinese to migrate to Malaysia so they can tap the rubber trees. Since the British needed workers to mine for them.

The Dutch discover oil and tin on the islands and desire for more rubber.

Social Darwinism is what imperialist  countries believe in Social Darwinism, that god chose them to be people to take over others people and use their resources. 

Imperialism in Africa

Imperialism is a strong country taking over a weaker country in order to take over there natural  resources and its political economic. Just like how Europe did to Africa in the 1860s.
Before europe took over africa, africa was a divided country that had different languages. They followed traditonal beliefs; other converted to islan or christianity.
Europe wanted African land because they needed more natural resources like coal, iron, and water, and they needed new markets for goods. They also needed the abundance of raw materials. Lastly, they needed a place to sell stuff.

The Africans fought back using spears and sheilds, but they lost the battle because the British used rifles and guns. So after that the British took over most of Africa.

Dutch and Great Britain were fighting against each other to take over Africa but Africans started fighting against the Dutch and the British.

Socialism vs Capitalism

Threats to Capitalism

1) On March 15,2014 Jeremy Rifkin wrote a opinion piece on The New York Times talking about a new threat on capitalism. Through his opinion he talks about Maginal cost which is the charge in the total cost that arises from producing one more unit of a goal.

2) "Paradox at the heart of capitalism ...threatening it's future", was said by Jeremy Rifkin. What Mr.Rifikin means is it might not seem true by it looks like everything is so cheap its baiscy free. 

3) One example that relates to what Rifkin is music. You can go to need online website to download the latest music without paying a cent. Which makes it hard for artist to make need money.

Another example is movies; downloading free movies or watch just watching them online also make it hard for the actors to get pay or even pay for the equipment they use.

4) In the article he wrote he mentions "the internet of things" in which every single device that has access to the internet are connected. By uploading different types of data this will attract more consumers to make more educated purchasing decisions. By doing this the marginal cost will be decreasing and the threat to capitalism will increase. 

5) I agree with Rifkin because it will be hard for people to make money if everything is on the internet. So this will be a threat to capitalism.

Inequality for all?

The typical factory life for business owners would be working for many Horus and would be risking their own money. If they did a bad job he lose all his money, but he did good he would get a lot of profit.
The union was born in England and help out the workers. Workers wanted reform and join together in association called labor unions. A million of workers were in unions by 1875. The union demanded better condition and better pay when they work, so they all stop working and waited till they got what they wanted.
Children should have the right to work at the age 16 or 17. They should start working at that age so they can help their family or buy stuff they want. Also at that age they would be more stronger and and how more energy.
The life's of workers change over time. Reformers and unions forced government to be responsible for the kids and women in the factories.

Change, change, change.

During the industrial revolution women had to work and even young kids like the age of 5. The cities grew larger. To people it was easier to afford to heat their homes and eat better food.

This change all of work durning the industrial revolution. People would work 14 hours a day at a job 6 days a week. When they we're be working the factory's wouldn't be clean and the machine would injure workers regularly.

There was two middle classes which were the upper class and the lower class. The upper class were the people who were doctors, lawyers, and mangers of factory, mines, and shops. The lower class people were factory overseers, such skilled workers as toolmakers, mechanical drafters, and printers.

The significance of the Industrial Revolution was to create more jobs and provide the hope of improvement in people life. The social media is a important source to teenagers life. Teenagers use Facebook to talk to there friends and family. To find their old friends they haven't seen or even family members. Although there's positive things to it there's negative too. Like some teenagers wouldn't be hanging out anymore, or talking in person.

Industrial revolution began in England

The industrialization is the process of developing machine production of good.

The revolution needed to began was lots of natural resources. Water power and coal to fuel the machines. Iron ore to contract machines, tools and buildings. Also rivers for inland transportation.
The industrial revolution began in England in the 1700s. The first step of the revolution was to feed more people cheaper. An increasing population boosted the demand for food and profit. Farmers were pushed of their land and the farmers and their families had to be moved to cities and had to be fed. 
One of their major problem was pollution. The was bad because it would make people sick or kill them. One way they could of got rid of pollution was by moving the factory's way from their home or use a different method to not get so much pollution.
