Monday, January 5, 2009, 9:50 PM White man’s burden refers to the rich thinking that they have a moral duty and obligation to help "the poor" "better" themselves whether the poor want the help or not. However, these people did not had the intentions of helping the other countries benefit for being more industrialized, instead they wanted to benefit from conquering these countries as they could have more land, money and power. It is an act of racism as the whites would think that they were much superior and capable that they should be responsible or the other races.
REASONS FOR DUTCH COLONIAL INTEREST Dutch lost its territories, money and other colonial possessions during the war previously and made other countries lost respect for Dutch. The Dutch felt demoralized and they were eager to find means of recovery. And through the white man’s burden, the Dutch made the Indonesians cultivate crop for them to sell. Hence, the Dutch managed to earn quite a large amount of money from these cash crops, which made them so keen on colonialism. While British became a larger empire having conquered more land, the Dutch felt threatened that the British is more powerful than them and hence they also wanted to become stronger. Thus, they began conquering more land through the white man’s burden.

Saturday, January 3, 2009, 10:37 AM 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. Take up the White Man's burden-- In patience to abide, To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain To seek another's profit, And work another's gain. Take up the White Man's burden-- The savage wars of peace-- Fill full the mouth of Famine And bid the sickness cease; And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought, Watch sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought. Take up the White Man's burden-- No tawdry rule of kings, But toil of serf and sweeper-- The tale of common things. The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread, Go mark them with your living, And mark them with your dead. Take up the White Man's burden-- And reap his old reward: The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard-- The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!) toward the light:-- "Why brought he us from bondage, Our loved Egyptian night?" Take up the White Man's burden-- Ye dare not stoop to less-- Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloke your weariness; By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do, The silent, sullen peoples Shall weigh your gods and you. Take up the White Man's burden-- Have done with childish days-- The lightly proferred laurel, The easy, ungrudged praise. Comes now, to search your manhood Through all the thankless years Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgment of your peers! |
