Part A: Reflection
I learned that Residential schools did not treat the children with respect the children were abuse and hurt in the schools. The aboriginal people tried to get an apology for a long time and were getting no attention for what was happening. The aboriginal people received an apology and money from the gov't.
I found it interesting  that we are finding out about this information now and not before when it was a real problem.
I can connect this to what i have learned in class with things out side of school such as abuse some kids receive abuse at home and it can hurt them the rest of their life.
What surprised me was that in the beginning of the unit i found residential schools boring and unimportant because i didn't care. When i found out a bit more about them i was interested and curious to why it happened.
One concept i'm still having difficulty with is understanding things right away it makes more sense when we take time to understand things.
One skill or strategy found useful was using the S.O.A.P.S (subject,occupation,audience,purpose,speaker)  or using the ts,f,o,f,o,cs (topic sentence,fact,opinion,fact,opinion,concluding sentence) they made writing  essays easier to write.


Part B: Early Economic Globalization
Mercantilism is a  trade that was controlled by government to gain their wealth. Many merchants wanted freedom to make their own money. After Mercantilism came Capitalism which is also another trade that was not controlled by government and their was competition between the stores. After Capitalism there was Industrialization that was similar to Capitalism except their was raw materials from all around the world and sold in markets. Industrialization led to Imperialism, Imperialsim is when one nation takes over another nation for territory or raw materials. 


 Part C: Impacts of Imperialism 
The source of the white mans burden was very similar to the scramble of Africa they both civilized colonies.


Part D: Legacy of Imperialism
The legacy of  imperalism was was intenational trade passed down  through the world!
Part E: Connection to globalization 


Globalization is greater interconnectedness and interdependence of the world. The things we have learned in class relate to globalization for example Imperialism was when bigger nations took over smaller nations.
