The positive aspects of the Imperialism in India was: the British sold the Indians goods. British restored peace and order. Britain actually brought a multitude of positive things to India when it imposed its rule upon the native Indians. The best things that the British completed in India were social reforms, including a better environment for women.
The negative aspects of the Imperialism in India was: India's economy and industry falling apart. Unemployment and poverty grew. British had control of the government and natives were kept out of social situations. The British killed the people because they tried to stop a rebelliant, and they took their lives as if they were god. The British hit used to hit them with sticks until they bleed.
Marissa thinks that imperialism is a crime against people from India, she also says that British had taken away the responsibilities under jobs.
I agree with the student because, the British took the Indians' responsibilities and made them useless. In the same way, the British took advantage of the Indians by selling them the products that they could make. For example: tea, salt, etc.
For example: the 13 colonies were controled by Britin and they didn't let them progress with their own government.

Mohandis Gandhi
Two scenes from the movie we've been viewing in class were: 1. The English killing the people because they tried to stop a rebelliant, and they take their lives as if they were god. 2. Ghandi was hit because he was expressing his ideas liberty, peace, and freedom of religion.
Civil disobedience- To refuse to pay taxes as part of political campaign; to smuggle goods from the mother country.
Passive resistance- when you disagree with something and you try to oppose to it with a passive resistance non-violent.
The salt march is a march lead by Gandhi by going to the coast to try to make salt from the sea. They didn't need the English to sell them goods, they made the salt by their own. They took the salt out of the sea and let it dry.
