Explain what this means - what is "The White Man's Burden"? Read some analysis of the poem Do you agree with this analysis? The poem was written in 1899 about US imperialism in The Philippines - is the US still imperialistic today? Are we still living the "White Man's Burden" one-hundred years later? Explain.
"The White Man's Burden"? means the problems white people, europeans, faced going to Asia and trying "help them". I do agree with the analysis of the articles. The Europeans took over the land, claiming everything in their path. They thought they were doing somethign good and wanted a thank you but they only caused destruction.
The U.S. imperialism is still under going. In Iraq, Bush believes that "we" are currently having a peace war. To the fellow Americans we think otherwise. Supposely we are helping the Iraqies, we're causing many deaths, and haven't found any bombs. It's amazing how we are doing the same thing as Europeans, doing a favor, in fact we're destroy Earth.
Of course were are still living in "the white man's Burden" because Republicans don't know how to mind their own business, they immedatily take action. If Bush is not taken of the presidency while things aren't going to get better.
