Research Plan for Research Posts

Post 1

Look into the post colonialism culture in the Caribbean and how the lie of imperialism affected so many countries along the way. Political independence came in the nineteenth century for most of the colonies that were inhibited. Research how they have reacted. If they have technology. If they are able to have social media. Did the religious, political and economic beliefs forced on them in colonies are still practiced post colonialism.

Post 2

Will build off post 1. I want to focus on the social media aspect of third world countries. How some have chosen to utilize social media to break away from the imperialism inflicted upon them, like Libya. Is it becoming more of a hindrance to communist or socialist countries, or is it an infliction on privacy?
