Imperialism

Personally, I think extending someone's power by force is wrong. If I am just having a great time farming and being the way I was raised, and someone comes along telling me that i have to change my ways no matter what, I would be pretty upset. When I hear of people doing this in history, it makes me mad. You shouldnt be able to have that option. People can do what they want. But then I thought about it, and realised that some times there is a way that forcing someone to change can be good. If your friend is a smoker, and you force them to stop, they might be mad at you and you might lose that friendship, but now they are healthier and safer. Yes you forced them to do something they didnt want, but it was for the best. Now you cant go around stabbing people saying its for the greater good and get away with it, unless you have an actuall legal reasonable reason to go around killing people. I also thought about how if there was a city that was independnt and they were doing terrible things, and hurting people, that is an okay situation to move in and force them to stop, because not only are they hurting others but they are probably breaking some laws and causing a lot of anger. overall, I think that as long as you are following the laws, not hurting others, you do what you want.
