Test Remediation for Social Studies

"The struggle for colonies does not result only in cash losses. There were also lives lost, wars fought, and hatreds aroused which threatened new wars.Italy’s trade with her colonies in 1894-1932 was worth 5,561 million lire[about $1,100 million]. This was less than one percent of her total foreign trade in the same period. In fact, her expenditures on colonies for that time was 6,856 million lire. Obviously colonies cost more than they are worth in trade." The following quote came from Balance Sheets of Imperialism by Grover Clark which describes negative aspects of imperialism. If I wanted to study the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services during imperialism, which of the following fields of social science would I need to use?

“The set of shared values, goals, practices, and beliefs of a social group or an institution or organization”

The organization, machinery, or agency that exercises authority, provides certain functions, and govern citizens.

“The ability to describe the past from the point of view of those who lived during the particular time period under study."

“Provide interpretations, or explains the meaning, of primary sources."

“An account, report or story of events or experiences that is based on factual evidence from the past.”
