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.

Describe/comment on a Jacob Riis photo.

Picture. The photo is named Necktie workshop in a Division Street tenement, 1889. This photo is of women and men workers in a small tenement making neckties. The tenement looks small, dirty and raggedy. There are cloths, sewing supplies, trash and many other things all over. The workers are concentrating on their work, most not even looking up and looking poor and tired. I think this photo shows the conditions workers in the 1880-1890's had to work in. Poor conditions, definitely not healthy. Many workers probably got sick from the trash and many germs around. Tenements are small, not enough room for workers. The tenement is overcrowded and run-down. I would definitely not enjoy working in these conditions. The workers most likely got very little pay even though they were forced to work in such poor conditions.

What are your feelings/thoughts/opinions about your groups proposals on Colombus Day?

I agree with all of my groups proposals for Colombus day. I feel as though Colombus Day should not be celebrated but it should be celebrated as a different holiday. We should be celebrating the founding of America and not the actions of Colombus. My group and I focused on the many wrong doings of Colombus. I agree with my groups proposal but in my opinion our new holiday is kind of confusing because we are still kind of celebrating Colombus since he was the first to record America. But other then that I believe our proposal is a good  one.
