Answer:
judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way.
Explanation:
<em>express the main idea in a clear and specific way</em> – this is not the right answer. Evaluation is more complex and analytical than just the main idea.
<em>disseminate the contents to a wide audience</em> – this is not the right answer. Evaluation of the message doesn’t concern spreading it.
<em>judge the purpose and message in a thoughtful way</em> – <u>this is the correct answer. Media is used to convey a certain message through some of the tools</u> (radio, TV, internet, etc.) Therefore, its <u>evaluation concerns seeing the message and analyzing it, giving the judge of it at the end. </u>This includes possible critics or praise for the message, ways of conversion, tools, etc.
<em>communicate the information to a group of people</em> – this is an incorrect answer. Evaluation, as said before, does not concern the spreading of the information.
The main ideas shaping US imperialism were "Manifest destiny" and the "White man's burden". Manifest destiny refers to the 19th century belief that the United States were meant to expand across North America because of the particular excellence of its (white) people and (democratic) institutions. This lead to the Trail of Tears, among other atrocities. Once the US reached the Pacific Ocean, new lands came into view (Puerto Rico, the Phillipines). Manifest destiny became entwined with the idea that "civilized" nations had a moral obligation to colonize other peoples, which Rudyard Kipling summed up in his poem "White Man's Burden". The tensions in this "benevolent imperialism" were never fully resolved; the US invasion of Irak was launched under similar pretenses (the invasion was "for the good" of those invaded). The idea that other peoples have a right to self determination regardless of their level of development has not yet become accepted by the great powers, including the US.
