Imperialism encouraged the exploitation of other countries in order to enrich imperialistic nations such as Great Britain, Germany, and Belgium. This created a cycle of exploitation in many countries ruled as imperial colonies, and the practice continues today in many ways, which adds to their inequity with core nations (Bartle).
Finally, technology has advanced many nations far beyond anything many of the periphery nations can ever hope for. Even the poorest Americans usually have at least a telephone and television, while these are great luxuries in many countries. There is such a great inequity between the wealthiest nations and the poorest that it does not seem hard to understand why so many people resent the wealthiest nations. It seems as if they exploit people and countries to enrich themselves and their decadent lifestyles, and this can add to deep resentment and hatred in some people.
Toss in a strict religion into the inequity mix, and you have a situation that can lead to something such as the terrorist attacks of September 11 on the United States, or the subway bombings in London and Spain....
The imperialism, advanced technologies, and multi-national corporations spreading around the globe are creating more inequities between people and nations, and they are building deep resentments and fears in many other nations. The United States is a target because we are prosperous, we seem removed from the plight of many others who suffer, and we continue to exploit other countries and their people. It makes Americans seem greedy and uninformed, and it can lead to deep hatred and misunderstanding.

The third position means stepping outside the situation and seeing issues from the point-of-view of a third party. NLP reminds us that people receive information in various sensory channels: the visual, the auditory, the kinaesthetic (perception of movement of effort) and the digital mathematical or reasoned thinking (Taylor, 2000).

stratification and what evidence is there to suggest that contemporary Australia is or is not stratified? Social Stratification refers to the division of society into various hierarchical layers based on their socio-economic conditions. Some groups are given more power and prestige than others, whilst lower groups are dominated by the higher (Homes; Hughes, & Julian, *). Social stratification is founded on four principles: It reflects society rather than individual differences and therefore
Role of Intergroup Inequality Darity's Stratification Economics challenges the widely-held assumption that "group-based deficits in personal responsibility and cultural practices are explanatory" with respect to intergroup economic disparity. He cites politicians and economists alike as subscribing to this belief. His response is that "the emergence of economic stratification economics constitutes a systematic and empirically grounded alternative to the conventional wisdom on intergroup disparity." His view is that while the popular opinion
Race, Geography, Gender, Deviance, Oppression, and Social Stratification on Educational Effects of Race, Geography, Gender, Deviance, Oppression, and Social Stratification on Education High school dropout cases have occurred as a silent epidemic that has affected the nation. In the U.S., dropout cases have disproportionately affected young people, especially those from low-income families, ethnic minority groups, urban children, and single-parent children that join public schools.

What Fromm was implying is that the form of education described is seen as a way of having rather than being. Fromm wrote those words back in 1957, but it is still utterly true in that education, now more than ever, is viewed as a commodity; we are told from the time we are very small children that education is an investment. In the society we live in, there is
