Colonialism played a large role in shaping North America. One significant outcome of colonialism in North American was the residential school system. Residential schools were a tool of Eurocentric colonialism to forcefully assimilate Aboriginals into white Canada. This system was mainly created to indoctrinate Aboriginals (savages) into the white European society (civilized). Therefore‚ I argue that the residential schools were the setting in which the concept of the civilized/ savage dichotomy was

The Case for Imperialism There is little if any doubt that modern society has condemned Imperialism and its various devices. I will gladly concede the fact the past implementations of Imperialism have been‚ in many ways‚ terrible with consequences that have wounded humanity deeply.
