This is illustrating, how some European countries wanted to maintain direct control over their African colonies. (Conrad 83 -- 149) (Hochschild 101 -- 164) (Gainty) However, there were times when other countries (i
During this time, a number of colonies were established around the globe with the intention of addressing these fundamental issues. (Duiker 392 -- 258) This is following a logical progression of industrial capitalism, under this approach there was a focus on: maximizing profits as much as possible and controlling the means of production
These are the people who allow the industrialization and the economic system to remain in place. (Engels 35 -- 158) What are their working conditions like? The working class is forced to endure conditions that are: unsafe, subject to extreme temperatures and they must spend at least 12 hours a day on the job

While other parts of society, viewed these individuals as sell outs who were kissing up to the foreign powers. (Nardo 57 -- 98) (Conrad 83 -- 149) (Hochschild 101 -- 164) (Gainty) These differences stoked tensions in many areas, where there was a sense of contempt for the Europeans
While at other times, these kinds of conditions helped to spark social revolutions. (Engels 35 -- 158) (Parsa 162 -- 196) According to Engels, what political values should they hold? Engels believed that the working class should have a sense of contempt for the rich
" Of course, imperialism has existed since the days of the Roman empire -- but the Victorian stress upon morality in a morally confused and volatile England, the dominant colonial power of the era, brought an added dimension to the military domination and exploitation of the 19th century era. (Greenberger, 2004) This is not to deny imperialism's economic and military components
" (Greenberger, 2004) "Every claim to cultural dominance on behalf of the colonizer was also an assertion of cultural lack of the colonized, in the "justifying discourse" of colonialism. (Strongman, 1996) Many examples of this justifying discourse can be found Punch, a popular magazine that generated support for the colonies in England, in the heart of the common "John Bull Englishman
Previous regimes in the Middle East had the ability to govern their subjects using varied schemes. These regimes had developed policies, imposed culture, and ways of life to its people (Ang 12-17)
These scholars are in the opinion that western imperialism infects citizens with bad cultures. Other scholars further argue that western imperialism is responsible for transmitting modern colonial agendas (Baber 21) Globalization influences on western imperialism and Orientalism in Saudi Arabia Globalization is perhaps the most important aspect in transforming modern cultures and political environments
The present Saudi Arabia respects freedoms of every citizen. These freedoms relate to culture, religion, and level of association in the society (Carruthers 25)
Consequently, it tries to elucidate the influence of Western imperialism in Saudi Arabia. In order for governments in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia included to overcome their thirst for power, market for oil and other influences, there have been agreements with western countries (Chan 3-9)
A. dollar further has been dominating in the market (Keane 4-12)
Global media platforms on the other hand, propagate imperialism ideologies. In respect to these phenomena, global media players have been responsible in marketing global goods and services (White 7)
With such contacts in the Middle East, the United States has had an influence on Saudi Arabia's political and economic spectrum. Perhaps, the United States has had long control of the world economy (Thomas 13)
However, as the relationship between the English and the Spanish became tensed, England started to express interest in various areas previously owned by the Spanish and claimed the Bahamas in 1629. The first permanent colony on the island, Eleuthera, was established by English Puritans in 1648 (Craton 1962, 57)
However, the fact that Europeans invested large amounts of money and efforts in making the islands a hospitable place improved living conditions in the Bahamas and generally set the basis for a thriving country. The islands came to be one of the most developed countries in the Western World as they became more populous, "provided opportunities for greater comfort and affluence, grew more settled (if not in all cases much more orderly), and became internally more complex"(Greene 1988, 168)
And the Bahamas as the islands became a control center for bootleggers smuggling alcohol into the U.S. (Stuart Olson & Shadle 1991, 40)
The fact that the colonial period attracted African-Americans in large numbers in the area made it possible for the hip-hop culture to be presently one of the most important elements in the Bahamas. "Not only does hip-hop provide the literal soundtrack for many of the entrances -- with hip-hop music being boomed from car sound systems -- but its visual cultural expressions are especially pronounced, as prom-goers emulate the displays of materialism and conspicuous consumption found in some late twentieth-century expressions of the genre" (Thompson 2011)
