What were the consequences of imperialism for Asia Africa or latin America?
Imperialism had negative affects wherever it existed. The first imperialists of South America was the colonial power of Spain. Much like Great Britain was the "father" of the 13 American colonies who eventually left the British Empire, so too the colonists of South American wanted "freedom" as well from their "father" the Spanish Empire.
The nations of Central & South America were late comers to independence and the heads on leadership of of the US founding fathers, built a powerful new "imperialist" as far as the people of South America were concerned.. that was the United States of America.
While France, Britain & Spain still retained some colonies in the Caribbean, central america and in South America ( not forgetting the Portuguese ) the United States had become a viable power in the Western Hemisphere. In fact it became the dominating power.
The USA's growth and other economic concerns affected the " former Spanish colonists " in a negative way. The first problem was the US's war with Mexico. The capital city of Mexico was invaded by US forces and as part of the peace treaty, Mexico had to give up much of its holdings in what became the USA's South West. Also California was ceded to the USA.
The fact that the Mexican territory of Texas shook off its Mexican government and became the US State of Texas left a bad taste in the mouth of Mexicans.
In the 1900's the USA continued the quest that had been originated by a French corporation, that was the project to build a canal joining the Caribbean Sea with the Pacific Ocean. The construction of such a canal would be a boost for the American economy and help all nations cut shipping travel time immensely.
Of course the deal now was in the hands of America. One of the best locations for constructing a canal, and it would be a difficult engineering project, was where Panama is today. But, and a large but, was that this area was part of Colombia. To make a long story short, rebels in Colombia wanted to make a new nation called Panama.
With the "help" of the US Government, a deal was struck with the rebels and the nation of Panama was given birth.
The canal construction was part of the "help" deal. The US, with many problems from malaria, to sophisticated lochs and canals finished the project by 1914. The deal was that the USA would control the canal.
The Monroe Doctrine
Late in 1823, long before the war with Mexico, the US President, James Monroe issued a foreign policy statement to the world.
Simply put, it was a doctrine that governed US and South American affairs vis a vie the rest of the World.
In his annual message to Congress, Monroe stated that the United States had hegemony over affairs in the Western Hemishere.
It basically warned the powers of Europe the the Western Hemishere had a shere of interest of the United States.
In one way of interpreting this doctrine, it laid a coat of protectio over the new and struggling new nations of South America.
It meant the the US would not tolerate further colonization of European puppet regimes in the Western Hemisphere.
Some South Americans believed that this doctrine was an open invitation made by the USA to "handle" international affairs in South America.
But this doctrine together with the Mexican War, The Spanish American War and the Panama Canal issue and many South Americans now saw the USA as the new imperilaist power in the Western Hemishere.
The affects were long term and relations with many nations from Mexico and southward were damaged.
This was sound & bold policy for a new nation like the United States. Whatever its faults, it actually helped the former Spanish and Portugese colonies from interference from Europe. With the exception of Mexico.

What fantasy or science fiction novels incorporate Asian mythology or culture?
The Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny has elements of Hinduism in a science fiction/fantasy setting.
Some South Africans are poor, but then again some are not. Most people in africa are more poor than people in America or England. Most africans have to scrape up all the money they have just to stay alive. They have families to feed and if not, even feeding just yourself can be hard when you are very poor. South Africa is more of a poor country than rich because most of the citizens die young or are unemployed so they can't afford money nice things, some even food. Most africans are farmers because you needn't be fully or at all educated to have this job. It does not make people a lot of money but enough to get by. When africans crops fail in storms, they became very poor for a while or for ever. Some africans can not even afford to be a farmer!
Approximately 25.5 million South Africans are poor and rising.

When it is autumn in Asia what season is it in Antarctica?
Autumn marks the beginning of the six-month period in which the sun remains below the horizon. Antarctica only has winter and summer. Since there is no vegetation to speak of, there is no means by which to delineate seasons like autumn and spring. Because Antarctica is a "polar" region, there is no precipitation, it has no lakes or rivers and is in fact the driest continent. Average temperatures in the Antarctic interior get down to -70 degrees Celsius during the winter months and -35 degrees Celsius in the warmer months. The coastal temperatures are much warmer with a range of -15 to -32 Celsius in Winter and -5 to +5 Celsius in Summer. The interior of Antarctica is considered the world's driest desert because the extreme cold freezes water vapour out of the air. Annual snowfall on the polar plateau is equivalent to less than 5 cm of rain. Antarctica has some of the strongest winds on earth, with some winds reaching 320 kph.
What geographic features make India a subcontinent of Asia?
Geographically, the Indian subcontinent is a peninsular region in south-central Asia, rather resembling a diamond which is delineated by the Himalayas in the north, the Hindu Kush in the west, and the Arakanese in the east, and which extends southward into the Indian Ocean with the Arabian Sea to the southwest and the Bay of Bengal to the southeast.With all seven countries included, the area covers about 4.4 million km² (1.7 million mi²), which is 10% of the Asian continent or 2.4% of the world's land surface area.Overall, it accounts for about 34% of Asia's population (or over 16.5% of the world's population) and is home to a vast array of peoples.
Most of this region rests on the Indian Plate and is isolated from the rest of Asia by mountain barriers. The Indian Plate includes most of South Asia, forming a land mass which extends from the Himalayas into a portion of the basin under the Indian Ocean, including parts of South China and Eastern Indoneisia, as well as Kuen Lun and Karakoram ranges, and extending up to but not including Ladakh,Kohistan, the Hindu Kush range and Balochistan.

In the past like when kings and queens and princesses lived, some people wore dresses. Girls would wear long pretty dresses. The reason I know this is because I watch Chinese movies with my parents because I am Chinese. Nowadays they wear modern clothing just like the West. They wear traditional clothing as well... Indian men wear kurtas, Indian women wear saris. In China they wore plain cotton clothing like Chairman Mao did. Silk is prevalent in Asia. In Japan you will occasionally see kimonos. In South Asia you will often see sarongs.
What are the traditions and values of Afro-Asian people?
Each nation that identifies itself as Afro-Asian has its own distinct identity, both in itself as a nation and as a Afro-Asian nation. However, what many Afro-Asian nations share, traditionally, across the board, is a similar style of music and dance. It is strongly reminiscent of those found in African countries, but it has an influence from Asia that is impossible to ignore.
What two mountain ranges separate India from the rest of Asia?
The Himalayas and the Hindu Kush
The Himalayan Mountains separate India from the rest of Asia. Currently, India is part of Asia, though it is believed that they use to be part of Africa, and then became a subcontinent, and then became joint with Asia, the shifting of the plates is what is believed to have formed these mountain ranges.

Why were the natural resources of Africa and Asia important to europeans in the 1800s?
The 19th Century is known as a time of great industrial expansion for Europe. It was particularly cut-throat,too. Britain led the movement, and other countries soon followed, trying to gain industrial strenth. This was all leading up inevitably to a war–the Great War, or WWI. These attempts to gain natural resources became especially competitive between European countries, so this competition drove it. The movement is known as the “scramble for Africa,” and later the “scramble to Asia.” Europeans simply divided up Africa, for the first time they were moving into the interior of the African continent. Whereas the times before, control of Africa had been limited to ports around the east and west.
I think the idea of Nationalism was a key motive for this move to gain natural resources, Governments promoted patriotism because they saw international politics as this grave competition. The 19th century was very important for establishing modern civlization, but we’ve certainly developed a sense of moral economy that was simply not present at the time.

Why an MBA
The MBA is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. It is a degree designed to give you the ability to develop your career to its fullest potential, at an accelerated pace. What will you get out of an MBA? Aside from a powerful life experience, the MBA degree should supply three main value propositions: Skills, Networks, and Brand.
Skills
These include the "hard skills" of economics, finance, marketing, operations, management, and accounting, as well as the "soft skills " of leadership, teamwork, ethics, and communication that are so critical for effective management. MBA students acquire these skills inside and outside the classroom. Since MBA programs attract people from very diverse industries and cultures, a program should be able to leverage these differences and translate them into learning opportunities.
Networks
An MBA degree program offers access to a network of MBA students, alumni, faculty, and business and community leaders. This network can be very useful when beginning a job search, developing a career path, building business relationships in your current career, or pursuing expertise outside your current field. For example, entrepreneurs need access to capital, business partners, vendors, and clients. Arts-related businesses need access to funding and strategic management in order to position themselves to be relevant in the marketplace. Global businesses need access to local business cultures as they expand their enterprises to new territories.
Brand
The MBA degree is a recognized brand that signifies management and leadership training. The particular school and type of MBA program you attend also have brand associations that can help open doors based on the school's reputation. The strength of a school's brand is based on the program's history, its ability to provide students with technical skills and opportunities for personal growth, and the reach of its alumni and industry network. A powerful brand can give you the flexibility to make changes throughout your career.
