Modern human civilization is a complex entity that has been developing for centuries. A significant portion of the course discussed the motivations behind colonialism and its consequences for local territories. In this context, it is particularly interesting to explore how Arab science was influenced by colonialism and how this impact is manifested in people’s perceptions of Eastern contributions to the scientific community. The interviews revealed that there are people who are unaware of the role Arabs played in the development of science, while others believe that their contributions are marginalized today. This disparity can be compared to other types of segregation, for example, racism. It is unreasonable to suggest that all scientific inventions were made by individuals from the West. However, such statements are often made, and perceptions exist among the population. Hobson (2004) states that such unfair statements have been made by Eurocentric discourse. Believing in their superiority to other cultures and nations, the Western countries often made controversial claims (Hobson, 2004). This attitude has had a significant impact on marginalized and colonized territories. Sawant (2012) claims that colonization can occur at various levels, including physical and cultural. Belittling the achievements of other nations to emphasize superiority is a form of cultural colonization. Four themes can be derived from the results of the interviews – the role of imperialism, post-colonial influence, racism, and unfairness. While interviewees did not provide any specific definitions of these terms, it could be inferred that they are confident that racism is an example of how previous imperialistic views are manifested today. The fact that African American children have lower academic performance is a result of age-long slavery. Similarly, Arab contribution to science is neglected as a result of the perceived supremacy of the West. Such perceptions are a direct result of centuries of colonialism and cultural exploitation. In some contexts, colonialism and imperialism are used interchangeably, despite their significant difference from each other. Colonialism is a result of the presence of imperialistic views. There are several ways of extension, including cultural imperialism and territorial expansion. Interviewees believe that the negligence of Arab contribution to science is a result of imperialist self-perception, which is not based on reality. The West is often shown as civilized and superior, whereas the rest of the world is in desperate need of help (Hobson, 2004). Under such constraints, it is not possible to perceive other nations as being capable of making inventions of scientific importance. After decolonization, the victim nation has to undergo years of struggle because colonialism has a significant impact even if it ceases to exist. In terms of psychological influence, the local population may develop a perception that they suit the representations promoted by imperialists. This belief, based on false premises, may act as an impediment to growth and development. Some interviewees suggest that such influence is the reason why the scientific community has not had great Arab minds
