The 1800s were a renowned era in European history. With the rise of imperialism came the ruthless desire to seek new lands through the use of authoritative implications. Whether it is the discovery of the Americas, where Christopher Columbus discovered various islands, in which indigenous populations were concentrated, which in the end were completely exterminated out of the pure desire for Spanish power. This desire to "assimilate" the indigenous people and convert them to Christianity was a grounding element in 19th century Europe. Although the real question of whether these actions were good or bad is up for debate. Imperialism has been seen as an expansion that serves only its own "object" and has no purpose beyond the benefit of the "self". This article will explain imperialism through a sociological perspective, while merging the notions of capitalism and modern imperialism which can now be seen as globalism. The sociology of imperialism tries to define this phenomenon as an atavism in the social structure, in the specific person, in their psychological habits, which thus triggers an emotional reaction. According to Joseph A. Schumpeter: "The word imperialism has been overused as a slogan to the point that it threatens to lose all meaning. For whenever the word imperialism is used, there is always the implication - sincere or otherwise - of aggressive ” (Conklin & Fletcher, 1999, p. 44). The story behind this word led us to see the corruption and destruction it has caused at the hands of people perhaps with a lot of power. This statement is accompanied by the debate because, essentially, whether history likes it or not; showed us that nations have pursued war to win and expansion for expansion's sake, we ... middle of paper ...nce, that while the bourgeoisie can assert its interests anywhere.” (Conklin & Fletcher, 1999, p. 50). Even though today's society has moved away from an imperialistic mentality, the roots of globalization promote the advancement of power towards those who are already in power, without war and bloodthirsty monopolization. To step away from the specter of imperialism and reflect on world culture today, it seems that America is shaping the world, as we know it. The blueprint for progress and its ever-evolving industrial, economic, and global influences depend heavily on that of America and its innovations. They may not be the American scientists behind the NASA computers or behind the Windows computer keyboards, but there are industries based in the United States. The exponential progress of globalization can undoubtedly be directly linked to American business.
