• Continued enslavement (Continued slavery) - Due to the continued dominance of the west, the true meaning of the word Independence is - the small countries continue to obey and bind to the colonial and capitalist interests of the west.
• Loss of pride (Disgrace) - The influence of the conquerors had the effect of forming in the minds of the people that all the things from the west were excellent and sound, so it led to a loss of interest in their own culture and products.
• Overdependence (Excessive dependence on others) - People are overly dependent on rich countries, especially in relation to the United States.
