H2. What is your view of imperialism, and whether it is sometimes good?
H2. What is your view of imperialism, and whether it is sometimes good?
:This is a very subjective question, because how good or bad whatever is influencing something is, is greatly reliant on what the motives are. Picture it like this; [[imperialism]] is like a car going very fast: if there is a criminal in that car, well then it’s just his get-away car…but if there’s a police officer in that car, he can have a positive effect. (Jonathan R.)

:[Dimitri Mendeleev]] was a [[Russian]] [[chemist]] who put together the [[periodic table]] which is still used today. He not only put it together, but he accounted for gaps in which [[elements]] that were not discovered yet would go, he went even further when he predicted the properties of these [[elements]] using the periodic law. An example of this was Mendeleev’s new [[element]], ekaaluminum (Ea), which is what we know as [[gallium]] (Ga) today: his predicted [[atomic mass]] was 69, the actual [[atomic mass]] is 69.7. His predicted [[density]] was 6.0 g/cm<sup>3</sup>, the actual [[density]] is 5.9 g/cm<sup>3</sup>. I am amazed at the accuracy of these predictions, and in honor of his contributions, they named an [[element]] after him: [[Mendelevium]] (Md). (Jonathan R.)
