Decolonization
The ultimate effects of globalization in dealing with colonialism may have an effect not just on the advantacious economic level but at the lowest extremes of how it effects the lower level of people who live and survive in the particular country. The effects are in the form of decolonization. As a country builds up it's economy, the country starts to build gaps between the wealthy, who deal and maintain the money flow, or power, and the poor who see no advantages to global colonization, dealing with racism, slavery, and other psychological effects. The people on the wealthy end stay within the small circle of partnership only dealing with each other. The higher levels of the country's wealthiest incorporate themselves into politics, therefore having easier access to more money and more global business. Meanwhile the country's poorest can't afford to survive within the same levels of living as the country raises prices on life's necessecites and materials. The poor become poorer, losing homes, not being able to afford food, and loss of most health benefits. This effect on the poor starts to build up a psychological mentality of either dealing with being oppressed or revolting and trying to change the effects. The accumulating poor start to come together and form their own close nit network. They build small political parties within their own circles, collaborating ideas, and becoming brothers in arms against the wealthy oppressors of unfair powers. Then by using the ideology of oppression as motivation, they try to overturn the effect of colonization. Sometimes, decolonization can be violent, but at other times can be non-violent. Most recently proving this point occured in Egypt where the country's poorest came together in Tahrir square otherwise known as Independence square, in order to push out the political party and 30 year rule of Mubarak. The end result has yet to be determined in Egypt, but does remain a positive way of decolonization through non-violent revolution.

The IMF and its influences
The IMF has many influences throughout the world by providing such supports outlined above. Countries with poorer economies can request assistance from the organization which may be applied to the country's economy in need. With such support channels from the IMF, the country can start to mobilize a starting boost to help with growing economic challenges. The support given by the IMF, influences the face of the organization, which in turn has a positive look for both the stability and positive regrowth of the assisted country.
