Colonization = Exploitation?!?

People used to get suffer by getting hungry of power and when it reaches the limit, catastrophic things happen such as confliction, war and colonization. Colonization is when a country brings people to other land and having to settle there and slowly overtaking them. By taking foreign land, one country is benefit from resources, land, power and people as slaves. But the country where is being colonized, is losing their culture, generations, land and their history. But the awful true is never to be undiscovered. When British had colonized the Australia, they surely came with other reasons than to develop their nation. Once in Richard Hakluyt’s book, he said that the real reason for the British came into Australia was because they wanted to please God and to “Empower the force of the Christians.” Colonization is like corrupted government politics where all politicians pretend themselves as one honored countryman but at behind the scene collecting all bribes in. colonization act similar to this as one country came up into other country and saying that “we will be taking this land for religious and to develop their people furthermore.”, but when it really comes to climax, they ‘religiously’ inject people with pains of losing their properties and corrupting their cultural identity.

Exploitation is when I use someone or someone’s properties to treat unfairly for my own advantages. When colonization is on proceed, they come to foreign country carrying many risks with them, as they do not know anything about their land, culture and people, to reduce those risks, they exploit local people as if they are using them as tools to remove obstacles. For example, when the British realized they were much more powerful than the Aboriginals, they took advantage of that to benefit their own needs. They saw how amazed the Aboriginals were by all the technology and weapons the British had, so they decided to use them to know more about the land as they are using innocent to make sin. In late 1800s, leader of Belgium and Congo, Leopold II had put himself as an dictator of colonization when he first took over free land of Congo, he decided to show respect towards them as if he is really protecting them. But as soon as the time past and he realized that his power was divine, he starts to take greedy acts on Congo such as asking for slaveries, money from workers, resources and many others. This exploitation went all the way up to becoming genocide. We can see in the picture that a Congo man is coiled up in between the snake, face of Leopold II. The man is strangled by the Leopold and suffering by his laws to follow. In conclusion, colonization can become exploitation because people get hungry of power as when they discover on opponents weakness and how to break them and use them in their own judge.

Decayed Past-Apologies from Kevin R.

Apologies are simplest form of saying sorry to another and this shouldn’t a couple of words to thrown out. We do not know the exact time to say apologies to one who had suffered by your fault. But when the one receives the trueness of your apologies, the interaction between those may develop further than before. There was a case where one man stands alone and apologized to aboriginals for many actions taken against them in the past.

Kevin Rudd, who is current prime minister of Australia, had decided to make apologize to all aboriginals about 1900s ‘Aboriginals protection Act’. This act was actually meant to ‘protect’ the people of aboriginals but what it actually did was claiming hundreds and hundreds of aboriginals to suffer physically and mentally. This act wasn’t working properly until previous as aboriginals who attended to follow this act were all abused, influenced and used by white peoples’ culture and their life behaviors. During the apologizes were proceeding Kevin had included all of his heart-filling words to improvise the audience that those word and expressions taken wasn’t a useless thing but was to give a sign of relief and truly saying sorry to the aboriginals who had suffered their past history in about 100 years.

How does this quote reflects about myself...?

-Ability is nothing without opportunity-

Once in a while, people faces a great chance, a great moment when they can express all their ability to be shine. Ability is what you have inside of you, what yourself is really mean. Everyone has their own unique ability which is always waiting to be shined, and this is the quote telling us that every people's ability is accepted trough chance and moments you will face trough lifetime.

I personally thinks that even myself had faces chance where i could express all of my extra-ordinary abilities to be accepted and to be shine.

I think this quote reflects me directly. As I'm the person who is seeking for chances but waiting for chance, I don't really participate in every such things. But whenever I grap the chances, I take all my standards to throw out understandable and acceptable accomplishment.
