Abstract
This paper analyzes American expansionism at the turn of the 20th century from the perspective of race and racism. The author maintains that the U.S. is a country founded and developed on racist principles. She points to the Declaration of Independence, which defined equality only for the white colonists of the New World, in order to set them on equal par with their white counterparts in England. The author maintains that this racism, which taints the very notion of equality in the U.S., is especially apparent in the arguments for and against expansion to the west at the turn of the twentieth century.
From the Paper
"At the foundation of a racist ideology is the belief that people of any race different from one's own are inherently inferior, less moral, heathen, savage, and genetically unfit. This unfitness is then used to deny entire cultures and nationalities basic human rights. The belief is that these individuals are sub-human and thus there is no consideration of basic rights needed. Racist ideologies have been used throughout recorded history to take land, belongings, freedom, and lives with the only justification being felt necessary is that the other race is inferior and their subjugation is best for them."

Western Expansionism, 2004.
An overview of the benefits and pitfalls of Western expansionism.

Abstract
This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of the prosperity of Western expansionism in order to demonstrate that expansionism's value for European nations, in all probability, did not fairly equate to the inflated price that the innocent were forced to pay. It analyzes the effect of Western influence from colonization to the cultural influences on Eastern countries, such as China and Tibet.
From the Paper
"With expansionism to North America, European countries largely brought death and destruction to the native populations. Smallpox epidemics and the advent of western diseases like chicken pox and measles decimated the native populations of North America who had little or no natural immunity to these diseases, and settlers and governments forced native populations off their traditional lands. In addition, the traditional cultures of many native populations were lost, as elder members passed away, and did not pass on this knowledge to younger members of the splintered tribes. While it is true that today Canada and the United States are prosperous nations, this prosperity has largely come to the descendants of the colonialist powers, rather than to the Native American groups that were the targets of this expansionism."

Abstract
This paper looks at the trend in the business world today, whereby businesses that do not adapt to a global mindset risk losing market share, momentum, and the ability to compete with digital businesses. The paper also looks at the many factors related to the process of entering the global marketplace, with the Internet cited as the major factor in this process.
From the Paper
"Today, global expansionism is still a threat to the wellbeing of American companies, and thereby the wellbeing of Americans. However, today the threat arises not from the issuance of a dictator?s decree. Today?s businesses encounter the threat of global expansionism if they do not engage the opening marketplaces around the world, but do stay limited to traditional product and service delivery channels. When the internet arrived on the business horizon in the late 1990?s savvy internet consultants were known to say ?if your business is not operating on the internet, you will likely not remain in business.? Today, less than a decade later, this sales pitch has become reality. Businesses which do not adapt a global mindset are loosing market share, loosing momentum, and slowly loosing the ability to compete at the new rate at which digital business competes."

From the Paper
" This study will discuss the historical and ideological developments of Japan's continental expansionism from the time of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the 16th century to 1937. Hideyoshi was a feudal lord who helped unify the country and develop centralized power after civil wars tore the nation apart. His distrust of missionaries and other foreigners was in part a result of the civil wars and of the fear of future disunity. Turning outward from domestic concerns, and using the military power he had assembled to put down internal strife, Hideyoshi developed "an obsession with China. In 1592 and 1598 he launched two invasions of Korea as the first steps toward the conquest of China" (Bunge 13). His efforts were unsuccessful, defeated by combined Korean-Chinese forces and later by a return of the internal disunity he had feared. "

Abstract
Racism in sports has its roots in the history of racism in Europe. Kleg writes, for example:
The Achaeans and Dorians who invaded Greece beginning in the twelfth century B.C., destroyed the Bronze Age culture of Mycenaean Greece and ushered in a "dark age" from which it took centuries to recover.
From the Paper
" Racism in sports has its roots in the history of racism in Europe. Kleg writes, for example:
The Achaeans and Dorians who invaded Greece beginning in the twelfth century B.C., destroyed the Bronze Age culture of Mycenaean Greece and ushered in a "dark age" from which it took centuries to recover. These invaders . . . were regarded as boorish compared to the civilizations of the Near East and Egypt that were already thousands of years old. When these Greeks finally became civilized and developed a flourishing culture, they looked upon others as inferior and barbaric. . . . (Kleg, 1993, 86-87).
It was not until the conquest of nations in Africa that the practice of "chattel slavery" became widespread, and this practice was institutionalized by Europeans in the New World..."

"These definitions help to uncover why White America?s have actively sought to hate others on the basis of skin color. America was built on the backs of Black slaves with their labor, their blood, sweat and tears. Black women nursed and raised white children and were expected to provide for their master better than they could provide for themselves and their families. Black slaves were captured in Africa and made to endure a long trip to America in inhumane conditions. It is said that more people died in the slave trade than during the holocaust. Blacks were sold to the highest bidder on auction blocks like animals and then doomed to a life of torment, toil and pain. Black women were raped. Black men beaten and their children were sold and taken away from them without notice anytime."

Tecumseh and Tribal Unity, 2007.
A look at Indian leader Tecumseh and what tribal unity under his leadership would have meant for American expansionism.

Abstract
This paper discusses the Indian leader, Tecumseh, and his goal of uniting the Indian tribes into a powerful Indian nation capable of ending American expansion westwards. The paper discusses how the focus of American policy makers, on Canada and Royal Navy seizure of American sailors on the high seas on the eve of the War of 1812, prevented most of them from realizing that the Indian tribes on the frontier were the greatest threat to future American expansion.
From the Paper
"Ultimately, the potential path of the United States in regard to this Indian Nation may have been similar to how we dealt with Spanish Florida, or it may have resembled our approach to dealing with British Canada, or it may have been patterned after our policies in the Mexican Southwest. Spanish Florida had been incorporated into the United States through treaty and purchase, British Canada had not been acquired at all, and the Mexican Southwest had been taken by winning the Mexican War and demanding territorial concessions."
"In dealing with Tecumseh's tribal nation, the United States would have had the option in coming decades of expanding through brute military force as it had against Mexico, of seeking new territorial acquisitions through treaty negotiations and purchase agreements with Tecumseh as had been the case with Spanish Florida, or of conceding that expansion would be stopped, as had been the case with British Canada. Which option would have ultimately been pursued would have depended primarily upon Tecumseh's ability to keep the tribes united under his leadership."

Abstract
Systemic racism is found just as much in the nursing profession as in many other institutionalized workplaces. This form of racism produces serious conflict that can harm morale and efficiency because the problem can remain hidden. Systemic racism, or institutionalized racism, is racism that is built into the system. Systemic racism is the result of interlocking systems of social oppression such as classism, sexism and ableism in the health care system. This paper explains what system racism is and discusses the serious harm it can cause. In particular, the paper discusses systemic racism within the nursing profession and looks at how it is an especially problematic issue with regard to the delivery of health services.
From the Paper
"Workplace diversity is a tremendous benefit, but it can cause serious problems not only for the staff but also for patients and the delivery of care (Aries, 2004). Systemic racism is found just as much in the nursing profession as in many other institutionalized workplaces. Minority and ethnic groups continue to be viewed as different. "Diversity has become a more pressing issue in the delivery of health services because added to long-standing racial disparities are problems associated with caring for new immigrant populations" (Aries, 2004, p. 173)."

Abstract
The paper examines Frederick Ivor Case's "Racism and National Consciousness," where he presents a complex analysis of race and racism in Canada today. With reference to Case's understanding of racism as exclusion, the paper argues that racism is a covert reality of life in Canada today that is supported in a range of subtle ways by Canadian state culture. The paper shows how racism has clear economic "value" for the capitalist corporate elite of Canadian society, making challenges of anti-racist action as great as they ever were.
Outline:
Introduction
Racism as Exclusion
The Complexities of Racism
A Covert Racism
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In defining race and racism, Frederick Ivor Case presents an excellent critique of the physiological absurdity of making distinctions between people on the basis of race: "It might seem superfluous to remark that there is no such phenomenon as African blood or Chinese blood or Jewish blood, just as in the moral sense there is no such thing as good or bad blood" (Case 38). This being said, however, Case recognizes the social reality that for generations the structures of race and racism have defined life in Canada. Case's analysis of racism in the Canadian context is particularly complex given his contention that this racism has been defined historically as the "exclusion on sight, that is, by race" of non-Europeans from the Canadian collective consciousness (Case 35)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the scholar Bell Hooks' 'Killing Rage: Ending Racism' begins with the shocking defense of a severely psychologically disturbed black man who unleashed a killing spree on the New York subway. The writer notes that while by no means defending murder, Hooks engages in a kind of tacit endorsement of the man's motivation, or his sophisticated understanding that both blacks and whites can perpetuate institutionalized racism, by supporting institutions that foster racist attitudes. The writer points out that America is a nation founded upon a racial divide between blacks and whites, founded upon the economic, political, and social legacy of slavery. The writer discusses that the notion of institutionalized, rather than personalized racism demarcated by Hooks stresses that although the effects of institutionalized racism may disproportionately affect blacks, both black and white 'bodies' can and do enforce the prejudices and stereotypes.
From the Paper
" Hooks' criticism seems apt in the sense that 'whiteness' as a construct, much like 'heterosexuality' and 'maleness' has only recently been problematized within contemporary academic discourse. But Hooks' use of the term as the opposite of blackness, in reference to individuals is itself problematic. What about racial categories of white people who only 'recently' became white, such as people of Irish, Italian, or Mediterranean extraction? Or Jewish people and members of other minorities that have not been able, historically, to fully participate in American culture because they are not seen as 'white.' Do they all see blackness in the same fashion because they are locked in the same ideological system, or do they exist within their own subculture as well as participate in the dominant discourse of black/white racialization?"
