The basic elements of civilization are "belief, law, morality, art and literature". Western imperialism intervenes in a planned manner in the "belief, law, morality, art and literature" of the societies they exploit. This intervention has certain stages.
 
In the first stage, the underground and aboveground resources in different parts of the world were obtained through colonialism, and the raw material needs were met, and the raw material was processed together with the industrial revolution and material prosperity was achieved. Once material prosperity has been achieved, it has become easier to establish cultural pressure and impose its own civilization values.
 
Western imperialism did not stop its colonial activities after it became stronger by exploiting underground and surface resources in the lands it occupied; In modern times, this exploitation continued by increasing its activity. Westerners who continued their colonial activities only by occupation in the past, continue traditional and modern exploitation together today.
 
Traditional colonialism continues in different parts of the world, especially in the African continent. In addition, the habit of being occupied by Western states, especially the USA, under the pretext of bringing democracy, is felt very much especially in the Middle East and Islamic geography. The West's love for democracy is of course not free. It would be a very benign approach to evaluate the occupation of Libya, Iraq and Syria independently from the oil bargain.
 
Economic imperialism maintains Western colonialism and multidimensional colonialism by selling billions of dollars of weapons to countries where they confuse the promise of democracy, pile up chaos and finally occupy it under the pretext of stopping the war.
 
On the one hand, the imperialist countries maintaining the traditional system of exploitation, on the other hand, have established the wheel of modern exploitation order. Imperialists who believe that it is necessary to exploit more to maintain the exploitation orders that they call civilization and build on blood, tears and exploitation, realize the million times what they have achieved in the traditional way of exploitation by the method of modern exploitation.
 
Imperialist states, while trying to subordinate their cultural values, which keep societies dynamic, with material power and to uniformize societies (with a globalization mask), on the other hand, market them with mass media, make them attractive and create an economic market. Thus, it realizes both cultural and economic exploitation at the same time.
 
The imperialist mentality also interferes with the belief, law, morality, art and literature of the society it is influenced by and exports its perverted values. Religion and fitra intervention, feminism, homosexuality and gender equality are imposed both through media communication tools and artistic activities such as TV series, cinema and theater, and local subcontractors in exploited countries are used for this.
 
Even the increase in the presence of homosexuality scenes in show programs, series, motion pictures and theaters shows that moral degeneration alone is injected into the society through art. Resisting the imperialist exploitation imposed by the imperialists through their subcontractors, from belief to the legal system, from art to literature, should be the top priority of both states and individuals.
