In the US part of imperialism is to create a better, more civilized world. It was connected to the idea of "city upon a hill" and Manifest Destiny.
In colonies such as the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Guam, the US introduced school and up-to-date public facilities. A system of democracy was introduced to create self-government.
Of course, there was an economic gain from all of these places and counters the goal of spreading culture. Resources were gained and markets created. In Hawaii, economics drove the annexation and then culture followed.
The late 19th century held a belief in Social Darwinism. This belief held that some people were superior to others and so domination over them was expected if you were the dominate species. Most Americans also believed humans were broken into further species with each race being its own species. This means that "lesser humans" needed to be controlled for their own protection.

Answer:
To understand how Ryoan-ji illustrates religious syncretism in Japan, let us first define the term "religious syncretism."
Religious syncretism blends two or more religious belief systems into a new distinct system. It is not the same as multiple religious belonging or polytheism, which is practiced by many, even when they profess one religious belief.
For example, the Ryoan-ji houses the Zen Buddhist temple site. Zen was imported from China in the 12th century CE. In the Ryoan-ji temple, rocks (belief system from Shinto) are carefully laid and the environment encourages contemplation (from Buddhism), without the study of sacred texts, for the purpose of attaining enlightenment.
Explanation:
Shinto is practiced in Japan as the worship of natural things and kami, which represent infinite number of gods. Buddhism is imported into Japan from China. It emphasizes enlightenment through the practice and development of morality, meditation, and wisdom. Buddhists strongly believe that life is both endless and subject to impermanence, suffering, and uncertainty.
