Africans were forced into new modernization of agricultural technique which was introduced by Europeans. In essence, native Africans had to produce what they don’t consume and what they don’t produce in order to enrich the home country. Food produced by Africans was transported to the home country for profit. Meanwhile, non native whites profited richly from this economic system and native black populations remain in poverty (Korieh & Njoku, P.339-342). Underdevelopment There was several immediately obvious aspect of that underdevelopment that we need to elaborate.
Africa Essay The new imperialism by the Europeans to Africa in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was needed to fuel the industrial revolution.The thirst for resources and decline of the slave trade led to the further exploration of Africa’s natural riches. Consequently, conflict between the native Africans and Europeans led to both positive and negative effects for both parties (Doc 1,4). The Native Africans had the life sucked out of them after the colonization of Africa,however, the area was opened up to the world.

Immigrant Social Structure Theories The social structure theories that best describe the circumstances immigrants encounter when leaving their native countries, is social disorganization and cultural deviance theories. Immigrants who live in disorganized countries and poor villages have a risk of their communities being high in crime. Due to the lack of businesses, declining populations, and deteriorating structures the social disorganization perspectives are easily seen. These factors along with the lack of resources are enough to make immigrants leave all they’ve ever known at a chance for a better life. Cultural deviance theories for immigrants exist because they feel breaking laws instead of conforming to laws are their only hope to survive.

The minimum wage is a form of coercion in which it forced employers to hire at an arbitrary price that otherwise wouldn't be used if not for the government's intervention. The minimum wage causes a few detrimental effects. By raising the minimum wage the employer would either have to fire workers because they cannot keep up with the wages or raise the prices of their products which don’t benefit the so called 99%. Another point is that there doesn't need to be a minimum wage because the superseded fear is that businesses will hire at super low wages caused by collusion. Well contrary to this popular belief the real world doesn't work this way at all.
