Document Summary
We have to remember that there is not just things that are imposed on people, there is sharing. The whalers music they say that it is (cid:498)their(cid:499) music and they can poke fun of the fact that people think that they don"t have much in their culture. Capitalism- this is another feature of creating the other. The idea of capitalism is that everything can be bought sold, taken, etc. Colonialism- when larger powers take over and dominate a people you find those capitalistic gains. Now within this the other becomes a part of being seen as the group that is outside of what they themselves are. The colonizers did not go anywhere in the world and say oh your unique itll add to our uniqueness. The collective wanted to be the dominant and until the people were assimilated they were the other.
