The British colonialism of South Africa and India speaks to their notion of the world during the colonial period. In South Africa, the economic factors were driving forces for the expansion of the UK, with the first stage being the search for precious minerals such as gold and diamonds. Through this, we realize that the Victorians were more interested in material gain, which, in their way, was achieving wealth by looting the territories around the world. Additionally, the British rule imposed the idea of “white over colored” within the society in the heartland of South Africa. From the British standpoint, they were who your society is and showed it the way out of instability (Thakur & Vale, 2020).
Likewise, in India, the British also drove out their commercial designs. Colonizing the resources from India, the British utilized anything from spices, textiles, and agricultural products to reinforce their own empire and become the center of global economics. This economic-backed colonization reflected the British idea of India being valuable to them as a colony while not viewing the Indian state as a partner, however.
The Rudd Concession was a one-sided deal that allowed Rhodes and the British South Africa Company to get exclusive rights to mineral rights and trading concessions in the region that is now known as Zimbabwe. These rights allowed them to profit from the region’s natural resources. This was carried out without the residents of the area being consulted or given the opportunity to negotiate. The Rudd Concession granted Rhodes the right to seize any land that was deemed necessary for the company’s operations, as well as the right to recruit and arm an African police force in order to protect the company’s interests. Additionally, Rhodes was granted the right to recruit an African police force. In exchange for his services, Lobengula received a one-time payment of one hundred pounds as well as an annual payment of one hundred pounds, in addition to a number of rifles and ammunition. Also, these contracts were mostly immeasurable, were designed to favor British interests but exhibit the hierarchies that came with the colonial empires (Porter, 2020). Leaders such as Lobengula may have signed such deals because they might be under various factors, including British military power, promises of advanced technologies, and a likely circumstance of ignorance of the full malicious implications of the treaties.
Lobengula’s decision to ratify Rhodes’s Rudd Concession can be interpreted as a part of the political art of sportive diplomacy and of adjusting to the alternations of the geopolitical landscape. British imperialism conveyed not only arbitrary actions and power imbalances but also cruel and institutionalized oppression of weaker people.

Directions. I ask that you write a six to eight page paper (approximately 1500-2000 words) on one of the following prompts. This paper is not intended to be based in significant external research, though you may decide to tackle a prompt which has you seek out more films than we have watched in class. (You may continue to treat lecture as universally-known background material.)  If you have an idea for a paper topic that is different from those listed below, please email me, and we’ll work out a prompt together for your use.
Content and formatting:  The particulars of writing your papers – including analytic content and organization, citation style, and page and file formatting – should follow the instructions in the Course Writing Manual.  Papers which do not adhere to those standards will face deductions.
Some Food for Thought:  There’s a lot of room to explore in each of these prompts.  Take the time to refine your thesis before you jump in! That creative, reflective work is critical, and if you do it well, it makes your job as writer a lot easier.   Think on the prompts, revisit the texts, and be sure of your thesis and the two or three major arguments you wish to make before you begin your writing work.
Prompt Options:
Tracing a theme.  Pick at least three films, and trace the way that modern filmmakers have made use of the Middle Ages and its history to discuss or express ideas about gender ideals and gender relations; class and class relationships; nationalist or colonial identity; heroic ideals

Please upload your paper to Moodle using this link. Instructions are below.
All the information you need to write the paper can be found in your textbook. You don’t need to use any other sources. If you do use other sources and do not use and cite the textbook, that will be counted against your score.
The paper should use standard notation. Every time you quote from the textbook or use information from the textbook, you have to use quotation marks and give the page number where the quote can be found. Failure to cite your sources will be counted against your score.
You should also follow standard expository composition format. You should have a short (not more than one paragraph in a paper this length) introduction and a short conclusion. You should spend most of your paper laying out your points and supporting them with evidence drawn from the textbook.  
Here are a few other hints/instructions that will be helpful…
Never turn in a paper without your name on it. Otherwise you may not get credit.
Always keep a backup of all your work. Sometimes technology lets you down.
Make sure your paper is converted to either MS Word (.doc or .docx) or Rich Text Format (.rtf). Any other format may not be uploaded correctly. I know for a fact that Blackboard does not like files produced by Google Docs, Apple word processor programs (.pages files), or unconverted zipped files (such as those produced by OpenOffice). Make sure you convert your files to either Rich Text Format or Microsoft Word.
Submit your paper through the Moodle web site. Make sure that your paper is properly submitted, and not just uploaded to the Moodle site. Papers that are not properly submitted aren’t always retrievable and I may not be able to read them.
Make sure to allow sufficient time for things that may go wrong to be corrected. In particular, watch your email for a couple of days following the due date. I will email you if there is a problem with your paper.
