Do you support imperialism for your country? Explain.

I do not support imperalism for our country. Even though we may be able to get more supplies, better our country and expand ourselves i do not support it. I wouldn't support imperalism for most countrys. I believe countries should expand themselves before jumping to overthrow another country. Imperalism causes nothing but hatred, war and doesn't help the world create much needed peace. I believe America is good as is. There are many countries that are way worse off then we are. We have most of the supplies and other things needed. We shouldn't become greedy. Instead of trying to take over smaller, weaker countries we should be looking to help those countries. The countries that actually need help. We could expand with them and help them, they could even have things America would need. We shouldn't go to war just for simple products and resources which is what imperalism would cause The only reason we should go to war is to for freedom.

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

Some examples of imperalism today is companies taking over other companies to expand their own company. Such as water companies, food companies, cable companies; any major company can take over a smaller, less wealthy company. This is different from the past because then there weren't as many companys so not many companys attempted to take over other companies.

Another example of imperalism today is when a country owns or controls another country but doesn't officially calling them apart of their country. Such as the United States and Puerto Rico. There are also other kinds of imperalism. Such as robbery. When a person steals something that is not their own to take and claiming it as their own. This is similar to the past because robbery has been going on for ages, since the begining of time. People have always stolen from others and claimed things as their own.

Should countries pursue policies of imperialism, or empire expansion?

I believe countries today countries should pursue policies of empire expansion. If we expanded our empires we would have more supplies, products and freedom. Empire expansion would also bring peace among the countires. Empire expansion would do nothing but good for all countries. Imperalism is taking over smaller, weaker countries and overthrowing them. This wouldn't bring peace among the countries but only bring more problems. It causes war and hatred. If a countries needs goods or military weapons they can just expand their country with another country instead of attempting to overthrow the country. Instead of impearlism, empire expansion would be simpler and peaceful.  If more countries pursued empire expansion i believe there would be less poverty in the world and more wealth. Countries could lean on eachother for help, they could share products and there would be less war. Empire expansion would be a better choice no matter what.
