Eritre Popular Media's Twisted Effect

Many people have their ideas and opinions on the topic of imperialism of the different continents like Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Imperialism had different effects that came from the and different reasons for which it was done. There have been poems, essays, and short stories about the good and bad of imperialism. Those who read some of these works interpret them in different ways that can change the message the author originally had planned. Imperialism shed light upon that not everything is how it seems.

It is reasonably hard to measure the extent of the influence that imperialism has had on the contemporary world, at least due to the fact that imperialism shaped the appearance of the modern world, starting from the name of places and geographical boundaries, to the establishment of a globalized economic system. Accordingly, European colonization has left its mark on many parts of the world, especially by providing a strong foundation for the formation of a cultural universalization, substantial changes in the education system, an occurrence of a language hierarchy, and the emergence of a world economic system (Osterhammel and Petersson 2005, pg. 73-77). Through altered societal structures, a restricted access to education, substantial changes to the cultural values of colonized countries, and the special division of the labor market, the age of imperialism has had an outsized impact on the modern developing world, perhaps more than any other particular age.

Relationships between the powerful and the powerless are fundamental ideas that drive the need for imperial takeover. Such events can be identified simply as colonization. To say that imperialism leads to positive or negative effects is subjective. Positive effects of imperialism are very limited by definition however, W.E.B Du Bois offers an approach to the issue that highlights the possibility of beneficial aspects of imperialism. Although subjective, there is a need to address the damaging effects that happen as a result of the process that occurs. Poet, playwright, and politician, Aimé Césaire expresses his stance on colonization by reflecting on consequences of colonialism on all parties involved. With the analysis provided by Césaire

George Orwell argues against the taste of imperialism and its abuse of power in his narrative “Shooting an Elephant”. It is essential to show concern in resolving racial discrimination because of the integrity and viability of individuals. Imperialism involves exploitation of the natives, the oppressed and squeezing them to from different angles for example restricting the freedom of the oppressed. George Orwell expresses anger and disgust against any kind of oppression and tyranny to the less advantaged individuals (Alam and Sarwar, 55). The imperialists burdened the poor natives by inflicting on them hatred and torment. The imperialists considered the Asians as culturally inferior as they humiliate and subjugate them as racially inferior individuals. George Orwell desired to rescue the poor natives from the exploitations by the imperialists (Doyle and James, 15). The Orwell’s narrative “Shooting an elephant” is a demonstration of George Orwell’s argument against the taste of empire-building and its abuse on the poor natives.

Imperialism is a policy of extending a country’s power and influence through diplomacy or militaristic force. Often times, it involves the complete usurpation of a country’s power and involuntary renouncement of people’s rights. This idea is expressed in works such as “Shooting an Elephant” by George Orwell, The Wretched of the Earth by Fanon, “An Open Letter to His Serene Majesty,” A Tempest by Cesaire, and “The Strangehold of English Lit” by Mnthali. These writers all portray imperialism as a discriminatory act in which the well-being of imperialists are given significance over the imperialized. In the ideal case of imperialism, the imperialized and imperialists are accommodated equally. However, all these cases of imperialism, as depicted

The US media has always depicted a traditional family consisting of a mother, a father, and children. Nowadays, there are few families that we still consider traditional. This concept is outdated and offensive to Americans who don 't have a traditional family. The US media needs to redefine the definition of the traditional American family. Divorced and remarried parents, extended families living together, and kids who never really had a family should also be included. This will increase the overall sense of happiness and well-being among children whose families don 't necessarily fit in with society.

Imperialism is a political development in which one nation or power subjugates another in direct or indirect ways, suppressing its political sovereignty and integrating its economy into the conqueror’s. Colonialism is the formalization of this process (Walter, 2008, pp. 340-349). Although generally thought to be a thing of the past, imperialism and colonialism – especially “liberal imperialism” – still exist and are very influential in world affairs today (Cox, 2013). This paper will examine the phenomenon of European imperialism of the last five centuries, its causes, tactics, goals, progression, opposition and its state and consequences today. It concludes that European imperialism is still a significant reality of global affairs and it will continue to have far-reaching effects far into the distant future.

Media is a huge part of people’s lives in today’s society. Through different forms of media people can now obtain vast amounts of information at the slightest touch of a finger.

The media and advertising hinder do indeed hinder our being fully human. Mass media including radio, television and newspapers endeavors to shape public opinion on a variety of things. The media attempts to manipulate those values instilled by parents and society in general, thus taking away from our being human. Messages designed to influence peoples’ attitudes, desires and decisions fall upon society urging those people to buy a certain product, vote for a certain political figure, or support a “worthy” cause. The daily attack of media and advertising persuade the public to be one and the same, rather than allowing them to function as humans who follow their own beliefs.
