The White Man's Burden

Burden is a problem. The White Man's Burden is the problem the white men went through. The white men went through many problems on their trip to the Philippines . I agree with the articles because the Europeans went into Philippines and tried to take everything over. They acted as if they already owned the country, they treated the Philippines as if they were less important. The Europeans had the state of mind that they were superior to any type of race that was out there.


The U.S. is still imperialistic because Bush sent out millions of troops out to Iraq in order to take over. The government lies to us and says that the only reason of the invasion is because of the oil, however Bush wanted to take over the land and have all of the raw materials in his control. Even if the poem was written over 100 years ago, it is still very similar to the problem the U.S. is facing right now.
