Gladiator
Imperialism is a big role in alot of the things we see today. A movie that i have seen where i feel imperialism which is a strong nation taking over a weaker one would be gladiators. I feel gldiators shows imperialism because in the beginning of the movie the Roman empire was taking over Germania. The Romans were trying to take over Germania to expand there empire by taking over all the other countries. The Roman Empire was a form of government that had large territorial holdings In Europe and in other places. Early Rome was governed by kings but after 7 had ruled the romans took power and ruled themselves. Instead they had a senate. Roman Empire had 4 diffferent classes of people, the lowest class which were slaves, the next class was known as plebeians the middle class was known as equestrians and the highest class were known as the nobles. The Roman empire lasted almost 500 years. So as you can see the Roman empire was well put together and was a very strong empire. Germania consisted of many different tribes the majority were Germatic. The German system was important to the economy in germany, most of the Germans were farmers but alot of the population were herders. Some crops that were grown were weat,oats etc, Cattle hearding was very important. Germania as you can see does not seem as powerful and strong as the Roman empire but very much as well useful. This all relates back to the movie gladiators because as you have read you can see that the Roman Empire was a much stronger enemy than Germania and as in the movie the stronger ruled the weaker, and throughout history various problems have existed and imperialism has taken place between stronger countries and weaker countries.
air combat
Flying in a plane is frightning for me with 30 people or so. Imagine flying by yourself having a huge target on your back and people wanting to attack your plane and have it fall. They must have been nervous but knew what the task at hand was and knew what they had gotten themselves into and did the job. Planes being shot down, knowing one wrong turn move or shot could put you in danger of having your plane go down or not getting other planes at the right time, basically not completing the task that was asked. It takes alot of training, courage, strength and knowlege to fight in air combat.
communication
Technology has advanced so much since back in the days. People wont believe what type of technology we have. Now a days we dont have to do anything technology does it all for us. Back then during war, solders to communicate with there families and the outside world used paper and pen, because that was all they had. That can cause alot of frustration, using technology is much faster than doing anything by hand. Technology really cant be lossed, loose paper and other things can be lost though. technology and what is written from it is pretty easy to understand. Some people dont have the best hand writing, when you send letters you want people to be able to read your letters. as well as being more effeciant technology is much faster when recieving and sending things out to whoever, wherever. Technology has advanced so much in time.
Panama
Working on the Panama Canal has been strenuous on everyone. Working long long hours, not much break going time and days without eating or taking a break. That is a tuff task to ask of a human being. Noone was physically prepared for this. Being away from family devoting all your time to help and build something useful to everyone. Knowing people were dying and not survivng due to the conditions while building the Panama Canal. Tuff task for anyone to deal with idk how some people may it through but they are very strong and capable human beings.
embelishing
Yellow journalism is commonly known and used by many companies and businesses to make people want to by listen or be interested in what they have to say. For example TMZ deffinately is an example of yellow journalism. They may not know the facts but they will say whatever and do whatever with the things they heard or the resources even though they may not be right. They juice up there stories to make it more interesting and appealing to the audience or there readers.
