   6. Students will be able to analyze the patterns of global change in the era of New          Imperialism in at least two of the following regions or countries: Africa, South Asia, China,  India, Latin America, and the Philippines

Rationale:

The social and economic changes that affected the rest of the undeveloped world had their roots in many different motives. Students should be able to look at the various "reasons" and articulate their support of or disdain for, each reason.

Evidence:
