We just finished our chapter on Imperialism and its effects on the world. We specifically discussed the motives of Europeans as they went out and conquered South America, Africa, and Asia. Many of the students began to make connections between the present and the past, when they realized that the reason many of them speak the languages they do today are because of imperialism, (Puerto Ricans speaking Spanish or Brazilians speaking Portuguese). To finish this section we watched a movie called Last Samurai, the students were very excited by this. The movie illustrated the period in which traditional Japan met modern Japan and the conflict it created for the Japanese feudal society. We move onto Indian Independence next.
