Un-dar-dog:

I'm sure like most of you people you have seen a movie once or twice, possibly more, and you are likely to come across an underdog story. As such because of how underdog stories inspire us in a way, or not if you are a cynical person. Underdog stories always have same basis for a plot design. Guy is loser of some description, he is under "attack" by something, eventually overcoming his flaws to accomplish something. In every way (except the last) this is an ideal proposal of imperialism. A stronger more advanced Antagonist taking out some weaker protagonist for some gain. As such i shall be using the movie Dodge-ball to formulate this imperialistic style that underdog stories have, another reason for choosing it is it makes me laugh that i am choosing it. Moving along to my next statement, you have antagonist White Goodman, played by Ben Stiller, Bankrupting the lesser Average joys gym to acquire it for some profitable reason such as leveling it for his gyms parking structure. Then there is the  lesser gym owned by Peter La Fleur played by Vince Vaughn who is kind of an underachiever because as I quote, "if you do not do anything, then you can not be disappointing." which i can try to tie to a weaker nations isolationist views of leave them alone then there should be no bad blood, sadly to say that is not the case. As imperialism views go, if they are weaker then they can be over taken. With a story like this however the "empire" suffice to say did not win, but majority of the time the imperialists do, unless they get overzealous on their overtaking.I can tie this into the history of America with the imperialists of Britain taking over the American territory we know today as the 13 colonies. eventually when they tried to come back over here to take back the colonies, they could not fully do so, so the "underdog" in this case is the American colonies because at that time Britain was NOT a place you wanted to mess with. With the insuring of the taking over of land, or annexing the country of "Average Joes Gym" there is a war that is made in the form of a Dodge-ball tournament with a very close conclusion wining the war and the underdog then takes power from the imperialist. SO it is easy to see the similarities between imperialism and an underdog story only not always the case of a underdog winning.
