The White Man's burden, a poem by Rudyard Kipling. This poem was wrote during the Spanish American war and when the Americans took over the phillipines. This poem was mostly about the troubles the "white" went through to take over the phillipines. When they actually troubled the phillipines. Americans thought they were the strongest country and the had to teach the other countries how to be like them.
I agree with the poem. I think that the white men that tried to take over the Phillipines went through a lot of troubles. And from what I think Burden means problems. So therefore, I agree with the poem.
I don't think that America is an imperialistic nation anymore. I don't think we are still living the White Man's Bruden.
