African Slavery
For my project i focused on African slavery. European people would go to west Africa and bring them back to the 'New World" to help build. They were treated very poorly, some would say they were treated un humane. Today slavery is still a very big problem.
Residential Schools
Another topic that was talked about a lot in this chapter was Residential Schools. Aboriginal children were taken from there homes and put into schools to learn the "english" way. This is an example of assimilation. The english were trying to make Aboriginal people like them by taking away there culture and langue and forcing theres on them. This still affects Residential school survivors today by some of them not knowing there culture.
To What Extent Should Contemporary Society Respond to The Legacies of Historical Globalization?
I think contemporary society has responded to both of these topics in a good way by trying to do things to apologize to what happened to these people.
