Honestly, the effects are endless. I'm currently working on this topic for my Master's (that what I should be doing right now) and when you really start to delve into the study of it, it's really quite disgusting because it affects everything we rely on to live.  But to sum it up, when the land is polluted, it really leads to pollution, destruction, and loss of everything else. The pollution makes it way into our water sources, kills plants, and  consequently, that is one cause that leads to the loss of animal species.  Polluted land is often treated with chemicals to "clean it up" that ends up in the soil and poisons our food sources.  The issue really is complex, but I encourage you to study it further.  You won't look at this world the same.

Imperialism happens when a dominant country invades another country (through physical and cultural force) and restructures the economic/social/cultural function of its people; new imperialism or second-wave imperialism happens when an invaded country then invades another--or when the invaded country returns to invade the original, dominant country (as is happening culturally when American pop culture affects British culture)

Factors that are detrimental to a nation's growth vary from one nation to another. However the prominent factors are- a high population growth rate, high rate of unemployment and social and income inequalities. These along with secondary factors like inflation, corruption etc. retard the growth of developing nations.

definitely. \n\nNow they have to know not just about the physical environment around them, but also about the world's culture in different parts of the planet. \n\nGlobalization also influences their lifestyle. They get international good & services which used to be only available in the origin countries right at their door step. They get a taste of the world in their own homeland.

This is my field. Much more is biologically determined than most people think. Different people have different behaviors largely due to having evolved in different environments. That is why there are geographical regions in which certain behaviors are more or less common. In regions where various migrants have mixed together in the same geographic region, high variety within a small area results. Many human behaviors are side-effects of psychological traits that evolved to produce unrelated behaviors.\n\nSome things that are biologically determined that are often thought to be culturally determined are: theism (belief in the existence of a god) (this is a side-effect of some of our ancestors serving a remote and powerful clan leader), belief in a universe with a beginning and an end (this is a side-effect of the crude mentality of dominance), domination of women (this facilitated the reproduction of a man over other men), inefficient rituals of homework and schoolwork that are forced upon pre-adults (some of our ancesotrs required their children to labor extra-hard, and punished the children that could not do so, so as to push the weak into a servile non-reproducing class), dominating pre-adults in general by constant monitoring and restricting information and pleasure (this is a side-effect of competition for dominance to produce more offspring), illegalizing abortion and suicide (these are side-effects of the general desire to make life more burdensome and punish the people that can not bear the burden, so as to push the weak into a servile non-reproducing class, which is ironic), parental permissive non-punishment of the aggressive behavior of their children (this served to facilitate the dominance of their children over others, though modernly it has spilled over to apply to children in general and even pets), and many other beliefs and behaviors.

Depends on which foreigners and what pacific islands you are talking about. The main thing foreigners brought them were diseases and violence.

People learn foreign languages, travel to exotic locales that they normally could not afford to go see, get exposed to foreign culture, see strange plant life, spread their culture, intermingle their genes bringing diversity to the gene pool, study certain sciences more, spur medical advances by getting injuries that are unusual in peace time, spread their culture, show off their technology to people who otherwise would not get to see it, expose their religion to other people, spur developments in satellite technology and communications, buy lots of handmade souvenirs and curios from locals eager to sell them, establish business contacts that they exploit for decades to come, help create future tourist destinations, and create a surge in business for the memorial crafting trade.

The factors of a successful civilation are determined by four things: North or South region, Eastern or Western, a Developed country, or a core country. North or South like North America versus South America or Europe versus Africa, which one is more civilized? Eastern or Western, meaning Eastern practices (ex. Afganhistan) or Western (Europe). A developed country has previously gone through a great demographic transistion phase: pre-industrial with birth and death rates decreasing steadily (as death rates decline rapidly birth rates follow). Two transistion phases follow the pre-industrial era, but are then accompanied by the final product: an industrial era, which exhibits low birth and death rates.  A successful civilation is at the highest degree of the food chain, so to speak. It operates mostly at a quaternary level (computer management, business, communication employement), it has lucrative trading with peripheral and semi-peripheral countries (i.e. countries with no or little industry and technology). In fact, it practically lives off the periphery- U.S. (core country) lives off of many products made in China (semi-periphery). Today, the most obvious "factor" defining successful civilations are innovators and mass usage of technology and communications. Another factor is that it has usually less than 10% agriculture; and, like the U.S. for example, uses a great percentage of the worlds' resources (U.S. uses one fourth or 25% of the world's total natural and non-renewable resources).

If it were simple it wouldn't be an exam question.  \n\n(I'd write about specifics, and say the impact of colonial rule depends on the nature of the colonial power and rule, and the people who implemented it, and on the society and peoples on whom the rule was imposed.  Fopr instance, there were great differences in the forms of colonialism practiced in Africa by Britain, France and Belgium. In almost every case colonialism introduced "modern" practices for good and ill, and creaated gerrymandered countries which intensified conflict between incompatible local societies.)
