Kipling was one of the most popular writers in england. In the both prose and verse Well, kipling in this poet tried to clarify the benefits and advantages of colonisation, but we will discuss relation between two poems (harisson's "the black man's burden" and johnson's "the black man's burden"). This last is talking about trying to make all the black people civilized and werness ,but all that is a trick and protext to thier goal. Actually what the white people had is damage distruction and masacres. That what kipling asks the united states to take the responsibilty of devoloping philipines. Because of that he told the white man to go there and help and save them from darkness where they live ,and serve the needs of natives. kipling thinks also they are illiterate. In the first section kipling said and clarified many things about colonisation and it's goals (the colonisation the white people of the black people),but the important things which he tried to show to us is the white people's usage of the violence and thier ignorance of the blacks whene they cry, because they ridicule and contemp them all thel time. In addition to the way adopted by whites in treating them by the guns and dangerous weapons to solve thier troubles , kipling said that in other another section: In vain ye seek to end it With bullets, blood or death And the exploitation of thier hands, using they

    Szporluk’s (2009) article on accountability and Easterly’s book titled, The White Man’s Burden: Why the West’s Efforts to Aid the Rest have Done so Much Ill and so Little Good (as cited in Howe, 2009) place the majority of responsibility with the organization and those who are providing the service. Szporluck (2009) argues that INGOs should be accountable for the effectiveness of their clients and the communities that they work in, rather than the donors or the desires of governments.…

    In 1898, the United States switched to imperialism by taking Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam and Hawaii, then to make the mark, the Philippines. For the most part of history the United States of America was in opposition to the idea of taking and claiming colonies, they believed that colonies had the right to be self-governed. However, it was the motivation by the overproduction of economy that drove America into imperialism. Cuba would become independent from Spain, with the intention that US occupation forces would eventually leave Cuba to become a free nation, as the Teller Amendment had promised. Also, the US would get Guam, a small Spanish island colony that the US had taken by surprise attack, as well as Puerto Rico. The people that were for annexing the islands argued that there were business interests in…

    Kipling described how people in Europe viewed men of different backgrounds as “sullen people.” He then continued with “To seek another’s profit, and work another’s gain.” This defined the relationship between the “white man” and “other man.” The white man gets the profit while those who worked must grow up and understand no matter how hard they work, they may never earn the life they might have predicted. Kipling’s intended his poem to show the U.S. to take up the “burden” of empire like the European nations had done and described the affliction by justifying…

    During this time of new imperialism spreading, many stereotypes and were made and people were judged. This can be proved by documents 3,4, and 6. Document 3 is most likely made from the point of view of an English cartoonist because it biased against the African and Chinese people pulling the Englishman, saying that the lowly people pulling the man is the civilized way of doing it around there. This gives the idea that Asians and Africans were not considered civilized and were thought of to be used to cater to the needs of a superior race. Document 4 was most likely written from the point of view of an African slave and was biased against white men. He talks about white men like they were all the same and once they got involved with the imperialism they all ruined once good things. A British Imperialist in Africa biased toward the British wrote document 6. It says that the British are the best and most honorable humans in the world and that they are superior to the Africans. This gave them the stereotype that they think that they are better than everyone else. Also, from imperialism came economic success for both the oppressors and the oppressed. This can be proved by documents 1, 2, and 5. Parker T. Moore, a man studying the effects of imperialism writes document 1 and there seems to be no bias because he is just stating faces. He brings up the fact that imperialism is necessary for the economy of a certain area…

    Did Black Lives Matters change the world? Throughout the year we’ve been seeing the phrase Black Lives Matters on the news, social media, and even during the presidential debates. But is the movement actually making an impact on the world? In my opinion it is not. Black Lives Matter may be a hot topic but it is making very little change. Though there were huge protests covered by the media over the span of 15 months. None of those protests brought change. The issue with the Black Matters Movement are the lack of leaders, and nobody giving real solutions to fix the problem.…

    RD3 Figurative Meaning Utilizing concrete detail/imagery as his leading elements, as well as some figurative language, Kipling communicates the horrific ways in which soldiers died. “A Death-Bed” portrays vivid images of the use of new developments of warfare and weapons created. These advances were unknown and unusual to those who were fortunate enough not to experience the destructive effects of the war. Kipling sought to communicate not only the event itself, but what it entailed and meant for the soldiers and those they served for.…

    While they said they were fighting these “savage wars of peace” (Kipling) to allow the Africans to become civilized, in reality they were being the uncivilized ones, treating the Africans as less than human and murdering entire villages when things didn’t go their way. They were colonizing Africa in the name of progress, but demolishing entire villages and destroying innumerable forests doesn’t seem like a radical reform for the Congo. Kipling asked imperialists to “search their manhood” for a reason to let the Africans suffer in their uncivilized bubble, but which was worse: living in a low-tech world where everyone was generally happy and close with their family, or being forced to work through terrible conditions that encouraged fatal health problems to free the wives and mothers that white soldiers had taken hostage (Hochschild 161)? Is it really more shocking that the Africans found a way to survive in a world without industrialization than the fact that countless innocent lives were lost so Europe’s consumerism could continue to flourish? Hopefully the answer is clear: while the Europeans argued otherwise, they were the real barbarians, both directly and indirectly murdering Africans for mere consumer goods and the money it would…

    The dismissal and brushing off of injustices faced by minorities, more specifically African Americans, is a gesture of complacency and and willingness to coexist with racism within one’s society.In their day to day lives, people of color come face to face with a multitude of micro aggressions. Often times, fueled by deeply rooted racism. Thus preventing advancement of people of color’s communities. In present times, racism is viewed as an ideology of the past. Which gives birth to the harmful mindset of dismissing and brushing off injustices faced by minorities. Although racism was at it’s most extreme and brutal form during the years of slavery, it has morphed into a more toxic and shifty form over the years. The murdering of African American men, women and children at the hands of predominantly white police officers.…

    This chapter shows the reader that the black people have accepted racism as they always expected the white people to have glamorous lifestyles, so when they first saw “A white man sweeping the road” they were flabbergasted. When the Jamaican boys first came to England, Gilbert said, “this thought-I-knew-you place – was bewildering the Jamaican boys”, this quote conveys that Gilbert feels a sense of cleverness and more experience compared to them. However, since this is all homodiegetic we can question the validity of what Gilbert says, which means he may have exaggerated the Jamaican boys reaction to make himself feel superior after the months of racism and looking down on. On the other hand, if Gilberts words were taken to be the full truth, Gilbert may be reasonably experienced as he remains calm and relaxed in the middle of war which the other Jamaicans are not able too, “They looked shocked when billowing black smoke puffed its way round the white washing hung on drying lines”.…
