You believe in promoting self-determination, cultural preservation, and economic independence for all nations, free from foreign domination or control.
Anti-imperialism is a political ideology that opposes imperialism, which is the policy or ideology of extending a nation's rule over foreign nations, often by military force or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. Anti-imperialists argue that imperialism is a form of exploitation and oppression, which violates the principles of democracy, freedom, and self-determination.
The roots of anti-imperialism can be traced back to the 18th and 19th centuries, during the period of European colonial expansion. Many intellectuals and political activists, such as Karl Mar…

What does being a good neighbor mean to you, and how could countries similarly be good global neighbors?
@9JCFCS54mos4MO
I think a good neighbor means trading peacefully and tying to not start fights.
@9JCFSH74mos4MO
Being a good neighbor means to support your neighbors, not only through kindness, but when they need help.
@9JCDY644mos4MO
Being able to help others around you when they fall short of something.
@9JCDXY34mos4MO
Being a good neighbor means taking care of your property, yourself, and valuables. Also being a good friend to your neighbors around you.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Is there a time when you felt misunderstood or not listened to by someone with more authority, and how might countries feel the same way?
@9HTVFJF4mos4MO
Some countries may not have the views of their government nor citizens recognized, even if it's supposedly for the greater good. Best example is for Japan, forcing the emperor to step down as part of the peace agreement when the citizens and emperor didn't want that. Because of their hesitation, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed, and later on it was found that the emperor wasn't even responsible for most of the violence that had occurred.
@9HTRGHHWomen’s Equality4mos4MO
Yes and maybe when they are told they can't move, or do what they want with their own lives.
@9HTS3LW4mos4MO
Yes there are many times ive felt that and related to that and can understand if countries feel inferior to others whether its due to military or politcal power.
@9HTRH52Peace and Freedom4mos4MO
Yes, I actually feel like that quite a lot and it really hurts one's sense of belonging and morality.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Why do you think it's crucial for individuals and nations alike to have a voice in decisions that affect them?
@9JK3M6R3mos3MO
Because otherwise we'd become a monarchy, and just create a cycle of revolutions.
@9JK3C8X3mos3MO
It's important because the premise of America is freedom and equality, all citizens need to have their voice heard no matter what their opinion is.
@9JK36F93mos3MO
because it’s impacting their lives, currency and religion are some examples.

How does mutual respect in friendships relate to the way countries should interact on the global stage?
@9JK32PZ3mos3MO
imperialism should be spread to places that need it like iraq and saudi arabia
@9JJZNL6Independent3mos3MO
Mutual respect should be a major factor in the way countries interact. This respect should be extended to everyone.
@9JJZLFB3mos3MO
All be allies and work together to make the world a better place for everyone.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How important is a nation's complete economic independence to you compared to potential benefits from foreign investment?
@9H7V57V6mos6MO
I agree with foreign trade but I heavily disagree with raiding another country for it's resources and abusing the people who live there
@9H7V9TS6mos6MO
Its important for a country to be able to stand on their own without needing the help of others. If a war or conflict were to break out, you wouldnt want to depend on another country for your safety.
@9H7V78K6mos6MO
It's good to be self-sustaining to reduce negative effects of outside influence
@9H7VDMS6mos6MO
Not very, but I believe we should be able to make our own choices.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Have you ever had to fight for recognition of your personal identity; how might countries feel under foreign rule?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Do you think countries today disguise imperialistic intentions with philanthropy, and how can we tell the difference?
@9HPYTJ65mos5MO
I believe that some countries do use this with corrupt intentions in mind, it's not always easy to tell a difference between them. I believe if we had some way to hold these countries accountable or set aside programs to help regulate these to ensure no ulterior motives were in place.
@9HPYSWS5mos5MO
I say they do because it seems as if everyone has problems with each other.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Do you think that governments should prioritize their interests over international opinions, even if it means less global collaboration?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How does learning about the negative impacts of imperialism on other societies change your perception of history?
@9HP6VHRRepublican5mos5MO
It allows us to see from different view points which may change one’s mind
@9HP6VSH5mos5MO
It changed my perception to realize that the U.S. was the bad guy in most scenarios.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
When have you chosen to go without a product or convenience due to its origins, and how might that impact global consumer responsibility?
@9L5GBLP2mos2MO
Makeup tested on animals even though it includes most name brand makeup.
@9L5FDLL2mos2MO
Anti-imperialism impacts global consumer responsibility because many people argue that imperialism that globalization is a form of imperialism and allows many major powers and corporations to dominate the economy and influence the political system of other countries.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How have you navigated respecting tradition while embracing progress, and what can countries learn from this balancing act?
@9JT9Z9S3mos3MO
Imperialism has been used throughout history by many different countries. Britain, Japan, The United States, and many more. All of these countries wrongfully treated the people who have resided in the countries that they have taken over. While Imperialism is wrong. We cannot say that our history would be the same if Imperialism never happened
@9JT6MSJProgressive3mos3MO
I think that tradition that causes no harm to a society or its neighboring societies should always be preserved however tradition that might cause harm or has an affect on peoples lives whether its negative or not should be thrown out with. I think most countries can learn from this way of thinking but most dont care to hear or dont want to know or spend time on it.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How have your personal experiences shaped your views on the importance of cultural and political independence?
@9HTD24W4mos4MO
I am a person who does not support Imperialism because although extending power over to foreign nations can grow the economy's wealth and power significantly, it does this through exploitations and abusing power.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How would your daily life change if local decisions were entirely made by people from another city or country?
@9HP7CRW5mos5MO
If local decisions were entirely made by people from another city my daily life would change because our city would have the same laws as the other city.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How would society change if every group's interests were equally represented, much like countries in an anti-imperialist world?
@9JC6XLZProgressive4mos4MO
I feel like if everyone's needs were represented there would be less conflict.
@9JB4LCHRepublican4mos4MO
I believe there would be more of both agreement and uneasiness due to the constant concern of power and equality.
