culture. They educated the filipinos their own way rather than helping them in areas that they actually needed help in. Rather than putting in better resources and more they taught them their culture. They felt that they were so superior that it was a burden to “help” other…

When taking over Africa the British were a lot more greedy than all of the other countries, even though the french got about the same amount of land the British took more resources from Africa. This is supported in document A. Then with the white man's burden it is very one sided. It focused on making the Europeans look like the good in the situation saying that are civilizing the African Americans when really they were using all of these resources for themselves. “And when your goal is nearest”…

earn” (Fisher 2015), the discrepancy seen within wages of women of color versus white, non-hispanic men is even more horrendous. A study done by the American Association of University Women in September of 2014 revealed the approximate wage gap that falls within the wages of women of various races and ethnicities, and white males. The average African-American woman would make about 64 percent of that of a white man’s wage, and even more so, an average Hispanic or Latino woman makes merely 54…

around the world have different beliefs and the U.S should tell their beliefs and spread them. The U.S at the time thought that their beliefs were correct and that people who didn’t agree with them were uncivilized. Rudyard Kipling wrote “The White Man’s Burden,” which described how the U.S was bringing their new thoughts, beliefs, and “wisdom” to the Philippines. The U.S spreading their ideas and beliefs is another example of how following an Imperialistic role would be good. Overall, the U.S.…

16th and 18th centuries. Many colonies have tried to take over Africa an clame a lot of land from them but some of them didn’t know what could happen.

Imperialism is the domination by a country of the political,economic, or cultural life of another country or region. In the late 1800’s Europeans were seeking new territories and began to move into and colonize Africa. Between 1870 and 1914 the entire continent of Africa came under control of the European nations. Many wonder what was the driving force behind European imperialism in Africa. Furthermore, the three crucial reasons behind this historical period of time was resources, technology,…

In The White Man's Burden excerpt by Rudyard Kipling it is showing how the white men think that they are better than the Africans and have a lot more to offer than africa's do. It says that “To serve your captives’ need;” and this means that they feel like they need to help the africans and that they have so much to offer. The white men feel like they need to help the Africans and they feels like it is harder for them to help the Africans, it is a burden for them but they are doing…

changed. In the late nineteenth century, women were merely the “property” of their husbands or male partners. Women, specifically ones that were part of underrepresented groups were often sexually assaulted without any question by white men. Because of white supremacy, white men could often get away with their despicable actions. Women’s bodies were completely under their control. Numerous activists attempted to change this reality. They argued that women regardless of their character deserved…

According to the Pew Research Center, the wage gap allows for all women to earn less than white men by an average of 78 cents to a white man’s dollar. This rate decreases for non-Asian women of color, with Hispanic women earning the lowest at 58 cents for a man’s dollar. As for men of color, all earn less than white men, except for Asian men, who actually earn an average $1.17 for every white man’s dollar. Closing the gap would allow for poverty rates in women and men of color (minus Asian men)…

Who lived in America before the immigrants came? It was the Native Americans, and after them were the European settlers and explorers. When the white settlers came, they were friendly with the Native Americans and vice versa. At least, it looked like that on the surface; secretly, the Europeans, including Christopher Columbus wanted to enslave the Native Americans. Native Americans were tortured and killed, treaties were violated, and fights and raids broke out. Was exploration of the Americas…
