History 102

 Discussion Section:  Imperialism

 
1.  Using all the chapter’s sources, from India to Ireland, assess the breadth and depth of imperialism’s impact on the world.  Conversely, how did the colonial imperial world affect western society?  How did imperialist assumptions embed themselves into everyday western life?  Do these sources reveal moral and ethical reservations about imperial activity?

 
2.  Compare the cliché of the harem with Halid’s informed assessment.  Can the harem be compared with western family traditions?

3.  Read Galton’s excerpt on Eugenics.  What are the proposed goals of this science?  Can morality be separated from science?
