The white Mans Burden

The White Man's Burden" is a poem written Rudyard Kipling about the United States's conquest to take over The Phillipines. It is considered a very racist poem. The White people thought they were better than everybody else. So, they took it upon themselves to take over the Phillipines and teach them how to be civilized. They took it upon themselves and still considered it a burden. From the interperatations that I read, I agree with the analysis. The analysis states that the white people had an obligation to encourage the Phillipines to be cultured and well-bred like the white people from the West. The picture is an advertisment teaching the people of the Phillipines how to be clean.

The United Statestoday is some-what imperialist. For example, In Iraq. We are fighting a battle with Iraq because the President wants to change the government to a democracy. That is a little imperialistic because we want to take the smaller country and change it. Also, in Puerto Rico. Presently, the Puerto Ricans have to carry the Puerto Rican flag along with the American flag.

With the exception of Iraq, we are not living the "White Man's Burden." In today's society, most people are cultured and know how to act. We know how take care of ourselves, physcially [hygiene], emotionally and mentally. People don't need the help of other countries to tell them how to live. We have the ability to do it ourselves.

Nationalism

The definition of nationalism is extreme loyalty to a nation and concern for its welfare. I think i am nationalistic because i represent my country an what it stands for. i do this by going to the fourth of July every year. and my parents pay their taxes and help the country out with its money problems. so this is my opnion of waht being nationalistic means.

Simon Bolivar

Simon bolivar is a great leader and he is very important to the people of Latin
America So important that they named a country after him this is why.
he was influenced by the french and american revoulutions and he thought that it was about time that his country broke away from spain. so he joined up with francsico de miranda and revolted and quickly occupied carcas.
after a short trip back to europe he came bak and partcipated inthe declaration of venezuela and lost the battle or the pert city of puerto buello.
boliviars accomplishments are remarkable he had a small army and took over a continent jos leadership skills were amazing and tghat iswhy he is still remembered today

French Revolution

french Revolution - The French Revolution was a major political reorganization that began in 1789 with the storming of the Bastille and the rise of the Third Estate, the mass of common people who had been oppressed for centuries under the authoritarian rule of an absolute monarchy. The sitting monarch, Louis XVI, was deposed, imprisoned and eventually beheaded in the political chaos known as the Reign of Terror that eventually led to the rise of Napoleon as an emperor every bit as powerful as the monarchs who had come before him.
