Blog #12 Imperialism

I read an artical about imperialism, or more so what imperialsim is because I didn't really know what it was. This article says imperialism is "the policy and practice of forming and maintaining an empire" they say this mostly refers to the the empires in Europe during the past 500 years. They use they same kind of qualities about Imperialisms and our world today. They use it with economic, technology, colonzing, and many skills we want people today have. Imperialsim started a long time ago but we still use many of the techniques today. Even though it's different we can still see how we got ideas from a long time ago. Imperialism is about growning and creating. Weather it's a building or government or how we do things. I think it's cool how we can take an idea from something so long ago and build it with things today. Imperialism has helped our government today, and the forming of our cities.
