The values of colonization have continued to play prevalent role in globalization after the age of decolonization and emancipation. In the 197s and 80s colonialism continued through neoliberalism, the belief that the markets should be privatized, deregulated, and free of restraints. Evangelical Internationalism continued colonialism by continuing to treat groups of people in developing countries as inferior. From a critical standpoint, neoliberalism and Evangelical Internationalism are the…
