Abstract
This paper focuses on the relationships between the male and the female characters in many texts of ancient and modern literature reflect the relationship of the colonizer and the colonized. This paper will examine what such a relationship entails and will argue that this relationship can be changed only under extreme circumstances, which require a drastic action on the part of the colonized. For this purpose, the essay will examine two texts, one ancient, "The Medea" and the other modern, "A Doll House". The two female characters Medea in " The Medea" and Nora in "A Doll House" both change in the sense that they stop being the 'colonized'. However, both pay a steep price for that freedom.

Abstract
Since the fifteenth century, when explorers first began to discover Africa's wealth of natural resources, European nations conquered and colonized African territories. The imperialists exploited resources while putting little back into the country in terms of industrial development, health and educational facilities, or stable political systems. Believing their ways superior and fearing cultures and religions they did not understand, they brought missionaries to spread Christianity and rescue Africans from traditional beliefs they considered ignorant and superstitious. As a result of European intervention, with Africans forced to accept Westernization, much of the native religion and culture has been lost forever.

Abstract
This paper begins by explaining what colonization is and which areas France, England, and Spain had colonized up until the 1800s. The paper explains how colonization leaves a lasting effect on the place, even once the conquering nation has left, evidenced by the architecture and language of the modern-day people and land. Specifically, the paper compares the Eurocentric perspective on colonization to that of the Revisionist perspective. The writer also provides a commentary on each of the references used and their relevance to the topic.

From the Paper
"French colonization like all other colonization brought about significant changes in the settlements where French people made colonies. These changes that the process of colonization brought and the way the French colonization made amendments in the varying cultures of the colonies that were later formed and the way this process of colonization contributed towards the history of economic development and paved way for the concept of capitalism is explained by two absolutely different schools of thought namely The Eurocentric historians and the Revisionist or the anti-Eurocentric historians. The Eurocentric historians strongly uphold the "cultural arrogance" associated with "the real-or-alleged centrality of Europe in preparing the explosion of economic development, science and technology, the Enlightenment and the expansion of the role of the individual-as well as intensified exploitation and colonial conquest-that heralded the modem world" and thereby indirectly establishing a link of the above with capitalism."

Abstract
The following paper discusses the foods that Europeans discovered in the New World that helped them to survive in their voyages and explorations for gold. The fact that many of these foods could be packed so as to sustain them on their return journeys was equally important. In addition, in order to understand how Europeans saw the abundance of food available in the New World, it is necessary to consider some of the basic parameters of life in Europe during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries the time in which the New World was being settled by Europeans.

From the Paper
"Many things lured Europeans to the New World " gold, God and glory " among others. Finding gold made the voyage worthwhile to many as did land beyond measure and the presence of natives that could be both enslaved and saved. But none of this would have been sufficient had the Europeans not found enough to eat here, for even the most gold-enfevered explorer knows that you cannot eat the precious metal."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks Greek colonization and the development of the mother city-states in Greece. The writer discusses events that led up to this period of colonization. The writer maintains that this colonization was probably caused by a combination of the decline of urbanization in Greece due to a combination of economic collapse and pressure from northern barbarian migrations. "

From the Paper
"Between the eighth and sixth centuries BC, a large number of cities were founded along the coasts of the Black Seas and the Mediterranean Seas. This was part of a major Greek colonization movement promoted by the mother city-states that already existed in Greece. Much led up to this period of colonization such as events during the Dark Ages. During the period known as the Greek Dark Ages, individuals lived in small tribal units; some sedentary and some agricultural, while others were nomadic. Between 1200 and 1100 BC, it appears many abandoned their cities because of a ferocious invasion of northern Greek barbarians, the Dorians, who had wiped out the Mycenean population."

Abstract
The paper discusses the standard view of the conquest and colonization of Latin America that pervades most explanations of the subject. The paper explains that this standard view holds that the Europeans were able to conquer and colonize Latin America (and much of the rest of the world) because they had superior fire power. The paper discusses how while they certainly did have superior fire power, Crosby (2006) turns accepted thinking on its head when he suggests that there was more to it than merely guns.

"There is a standard view of the conquest and colonization of Latin America that pervades most explanations of the subject. This standard view basically holds that the Europeans were able to conquer and colonize Latin America (and much of the rest of the world) because they had superior fire power. While they certainly did have superior fire power, Crosby (2006) turns accepted thinking on its head when he suggests that there was more to it than merely guns. He makes the interesting and radical suggestion that perhaps biology played a role - a decisive role. In this way, Crosby (2006) changes our view of the conquest and colonization by portraying it..."

Aboriginal Social Development & Colonization. Introduction James Frideres believes the colonization process so affecting Aboriginal peoples in the Americas can be reduced to seven parts. The first, involves the incursion of the colonizing group into a geographical area, the destructive effect of this activity on the social and cultural structures of the indigenous group, third, processes of external political control take and fourth, Aboriginal economic dependence. A fifth attribute of colonization refers to the provision of low quality serves for Aboriginal persons, as in inferior health and education services. Sixth, the

Abstract
This research paper will look into the problems facing the interstellar colonization. It will show that the scope of the issues is broad and will than concentrate on the problem of interstellar travel. In order to successfully reach interstellar destination human race have to address several issues. These include propulsion engines, logistics and astronauts' health. While we have a good idea about the effects of long space stay on human health and how to minimize the hazards, the design and development of engines that could support interstellar travel is still in the development. The special issue of logistics (providing food, water, oxygen, medications and spare parts) is the area where the advances have been the slowest.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Spanish expanded their empire into California in 1769, over two hundred years after their first exploration of the California coast, and they brought with them their European culture which included Catholic missions, presidios (forts protecting the missions), and small towns known as "pueblos". The paper relates that the "culture of the Spanish was markedly different" from the natives, which resulted in major conflict during Spain's attempt at the colonization of California. The paper describes how tensions ensued, and in 1808, the Mexican revolt began against Spanish rule and finally ended in 1821 with Mexican independence.
