Question 1

Imperialism is connected to what set of oppressive political process of domination and control?
A) Sexism
B) Colonialism
C) Capatalism
D) Individualism

Accepted Answer

Colonialism refers to the process of a stronger nation exerting its control and influence over a weaker nation or territory, often with the intention of exploiting its resources and people for economic gain. Imperialism is closely connected to colonialism, as it involves the extension of a country’s power and influence over other nations or territories through colonization or military force. Both colonialism and imperialism are seen as oppressive political processes, as they involve domination and control by one group over another. While capitalism and individualism may have played a role in the spread of imperialism and colonialism, they are not inherently connected to these political processes in the same way that colonialism is. Sexism, while also a form of oppression, is not directly related to imperialism and colonialism.
