 * Questions**
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The economic impact of colonialism on indigenous people is poor. The people have bad economy and little for themselves. The colonial power has everything they need so the impact on them is positive.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Colonialism impacts the culture of the society being colonized because those people can be forced into believeing in another religion and changing their customs and rituals.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Some long terms effects of colonialism are bad economy and no order in the country once the colonial power leaves. Some short term effects of colonialism are hatred amongst different religions and fighting.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Protest against British influences led to colonialism. Also, economy was only just developing when the British colonized. Ethnic and cultural diversity brought colonization to Malaysia.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Colonialism destroys culture because powers want to influence their own culture on the country and try to kill the culture that the people already have.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Technologically advanced civilizations do not have the right to take what they need from less technologically advanced nations because they already have more technology and the less technology advanced nations need develop before they give to anyone else.
