His idealized expectations disillusioned him and thus left him feeling great loss. It wasn’t the fact that he couldn’t triumph in his quest to impress the girl who lives in his neighborhood that made him feel this way, however, it was the fact that he had invested so much expectation and hope into this one pursuit that it destroyed his ability to ever look back at things the same way, it destroyed the innocent lens he had. Reality is a hard road to take and once it sets in, it can’t be ignored. To go back to childish beliefs of adventure and magic is only teasing and a waste of time wrapping up in the unreal.

When examining the states from the first and third world, it is irresponsible not to recognize the relationship between being a former colony and a developing nation. Understanding the relationship between the first world and the third world is impossible without first understanding the impacts of European imperialism in the countries that they colonized.

Conclusively, the advent of European colonialism and imperialism sparked by changing the economic and political environment established an exploitative relationship between states which became the framework for the modern international political and economic hierarchy.

“The more often we see the things around us - even the beautiful and wonderful things - the more they become invisible to us.
