"The White Man's Burden"

The white man's burden is a load or a responsibility that the white people have to do or accomplish. It's the job of the white man to accomplish conquering and ruling other countries or lands. An example would be the burden of the U.S. trying to take over and control of the Philippines. This began when America went into the Spanish-American war in 1898. The U.S. fought the Philippines in a war and won and eventually began ruling the Philippines.
I agree with the analyzes of the poem "The White Man's Burden" for many reasons. One reason, would be that the poem describes how white people try to take over countries or to rule other countries for their needs. The poem describes why the white people try to rule other countries.

Take up the White Man's burden--
Send forth the best ye breed--
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild--
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.

Rudyard Kipling, "The White Man's Burden" published in McClure's Magazine, Feb. 1899

This 8 lines from the first of seven stanza alone describes lot of the white man's burden. It tells how the white people go to war and how the enemies are when captured. It tells how the white people want the enemies to send their troops for war.
Even though the poem was written in 1899 about the U.S. Imperialism over the Philippines, the U.S. still today is imperialistic a hundred years later. We are still living the "White Man's Burden" today for the fact that are armies are still in Iraq. The war of Iraq is over and still American army troops still patrol the country of Iraq. Even though we have won, America is trying to change something about Iraq. Their trying to change Iraq's government. Their trying to change Iraq into a Democratic country. Event thought their are many people in Iraq who are opposing this new government or who just don't want American troops in their country we still stay and still fight to change the government.
