September 14th was the best day out of the whole month for me. It was the day of my little sister's birthday and the first time I was not able to be there with her. Although I was not able to see her, I got to Facetime her and spend some time with her talking about school, her dance classes and her friends. This was also the day she decided to tell me that she got her first “boyfriend”, considering she is only twelve it really doesn’t mean much but to her it meant something big. But I got that under control pretty quickly. As annoying and bratty she may be at times my little sister is my everything so not having her beside me on her special day was hard. Although I was not able to physically celebrate with her, FaceTiming with her and seeing her grow one more year was the highlight of this whole month.

COLONIAL ENCOUNTERS IN ASIA AND AFRICA  INDUSTRY AND EMPIRE —  New economic needs found solutions abroad created the need for extensive raw materials and agricultural products: —  Bananas from Central America —  Rubber from Brazil —  Meat from Argentina —  Cocoa and Palm oil from West Africa —  Gold and Diamonds from South Africa By 1840, Britain was exporting 60% of its cotton-cloth production, sending millions of yards to Europe Between 1910 and 1914 Britain was sending about half of its savings overseas as foreign investment RACE AND CULTURE —  Europeans had defined others largely in religious terms, now they adopted the idea and techniques of more “advanced” societies precedented by wealth, and used both to produce unsurpassed military power. —  Its not surprising that their opinions of other cultures dropped sharply The sense of responsability to the “weaker” races  Europeans had the “duty to civilize the inferior races” “Discipline and produc...
