colonization and orientalism The basic idea of colonization and orientalism started after Europeans discovered other people except themselves. These people existed in different geographical regions that were coincidentally not as developed as them. Colonization is the act of settling in a new land and taking control of all activities in the area. Orientalism is viewing black and Asian cultures as either backward, uncivilized or inferior in respect to European culture. Orientalism continues to widen the western and eastern boundary and is an irreversible practice. The only thing left is to wish the two traditions had not started in the beginning. Colonialism and orientalism are different in that despite seeing other cultures as backward, colonialism goes ahead to take control of people’s way of life, forcing them to do activities forcefully and reaps them off their identity.

what the United States would look like with a fifteen dollar minimum wage Imagine what the United States would look like with a fifteen dollar minimum wage. You don’t even have to, just take one look at New York City today with homeless people scattered up and down the streets. Every day, the argument of raising the federal minimum wage comes up in conversation whether it’s grandparents arguing with their grandchildren on holidays or “anchormen” arguing their side of it on opinion-based news.
