Answer:
“The White Man’s Burden” presents the conquering of non-white races as white people's selfless moral duty. This conquest, according to the poem, is not for personal or national benefit, but rather for the gain of others—specifically, for the gain of the conquered. The white race will “serve [their] captives’ need” rather than their own, and the white conquerors “seek another’s profit, / And work another’s gain.” Even if they do not recognize their benefit, the non-white races will be brought “(Ah, slowly!) toward the light,” escaping the “loved Egyptian night” in which they idled before their conquest. Yet the non-whites’ positive sentiment for their own “darkness” indicates the extreme difficulty whites will face in seeking to educate the conquered peoples.
By emphasizing the hardships of this "burden," the speaker positions himself as a realist who sees all the difficulties of an imperialist project and the inevitable thanklessness that results. The speaker announces that imperial conquest will “bind your sons to exile” and cause them to “wait in heavy harness” in pursuit of the “savage wars of peace,” indications of the difficulty and tedium of the inevitable war. The “silent, sullen peoples” lifted up from “bondage” will never offer the imperialists any thanks or praise.
By taking the difficulty and thanklessness of imperialism seriously, the speaker establishes his credibility as someone of clear-sighted judgement. This stance of realism offers the speaker’s argument two key things. First, it staves off the retort that the speaker is some idealist blinded by an impossible dream. The speaker’s focus on the difficulty of the task actually has the effect of making that task seem, eventually, achievable, since all the difficulties have already been foreseen. Second, it sets up the speaker (and the European powers the speaker seems connected to) as a kind of stern, realist father figure to America who will offer Americans true respect—“the judgement of your peers” both “cold” and “edged with dear-bought wisdom”—if they fulfill their imperialist task.
Indeed, the poem in many ways appeals to the middle-class virtues of ordinary turn of the 20th century Americans by presenting imperialism as a sober, tedious duty rather than a grand adventure of conquest. Imperialism is a “toil of serf and sweeper,” not a “tawdry rule of kings.” The larger part of “the white man’s burden” is thus an exercise in “patience,” accepting the length and difficulty of the task set for the imperialists. Not a calling to a high heroic destiny, but a crude, almost homely task, imperialism suits the desires of those who imagine themselves honest workers on humanity’s behalf, rather than triumphant conquerors of weaker peoples. Put another way, the poem can be seen as cannily playing to the vanity of America precisely by refusing to play to its vanity. The poem is saying to an America that, in 1899, was feeling itself ready to emerge on the world stage: this is how you can stop being a child and grow up.
While the speaker of “The White Man’s Burden” can be seen as trying to cannily build an argument that will specifically appeal to a certain set of Americans, it also seems possible that the speaker is not being purely cynical. The speaker seems to believe everything he is saying: that imperialism and colonialism is a thankless task, taken up by whites purely out of goodwill for other races (even if those other races lack the ability to see the gift being bestowed upon them), without any ulterior motive of profit, reward, praise, or even gratitude. This enterprise may not even succeed; references to the task’s difficulty far outnumber references to its success. Thus even as the speaker believes it is the white man's duty to engage in conquest, he may also believe that this conquest will fall short of its moral goals. Imperialism, the speaker sincerely believes, is the white man’s gracious sacrifice on behalf of non-whites.

Why did the Roman calendar include, and the government pay for so many religious festivals?
Answer:
Festivals were also held in ancient Rome in response to particular events, or for a particular purpose such as to propitiate or show gratitude toward the gods.

In this stanza of the poem, the colonized people are referred to as “Half-devil and half-child”. What does this reveal about how Kipling thinks of the indigenous people?
Answer:
“The White Man’s Burden” was originally composed by Rudyard Kipling in 1897 for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, but it was eventually published in 1899 in response to the events of the Spanish-American War. It praises and justifies a paternalistic version of imperialism through a racial ideology.
In the poem, white people are portrayed as more civilized, mature, intelligent, and rational and thus as having a moral duty to establish empires to rule over savages. The conquered peoples are described as subjugated but deservingly so as they are "Half devil and half child." While white people are assumed to be Christian, non-whites are "heathen," and thus it is the duty, according to Kipling, of the imperial nations to Christianize them.
Indigenous people are described as poor, barbaric, and uncivilized due to their own character which combines sloth and folly. They are described as sullen and violent in a way that makes the job of imperial administrators dangerous. Indigenous peoples...

HELP PAST DUE 6 MIN !! The phrase “Manifest Destiny” was first used in 1845 by John O’Sullivan, a New York newspaper editor. What did he mean by it was the United States’ “manifest destiny to overspread and to possess the whole of the continent”?
Answer:
Well in order to know what he exactly meant we first need to know what the words "manifest" and "destiny" mean. Manifest means to display or show and destiny means fate. Therefore when he said it was the United States' manifest destiny, he meant that it was supposed to happen that way for the country to get so big. The people spread so fast across the country and acquired many lands and property.

Explain whether or not the excerpt from the poem, “The White Man’s Burden,” (found below) by Rudyard Kipling, was for imperialism or not. It may help to research what the burden of white people was according to Kipling (Hint: it is very racist).
Answer:
It would be futile to try to recognize or refute any of the poem's appearances of bigotry against non-white people because it is so common, ingrained, and over-the-top.However, it's worth noting how Kipling's bigotry blinded him to the truth of white imperialists—and, one may argue, to the white race—that "The White Man's Burden" so reveres. There is no truthful experience of colonization or imperialism that can characterize European or American imperialism's motivations or consequences as being inspired by selfless benevolence or having solely positive effects.From the devastation and enslavement of indigenous peoples in the Americas to the slave trade that developed out of European colonialism in Africa, to the uniquely rapacious and corrupt activities of the Belgian Congo, to the profit, strength, and national pride that Britain gained from its empire, on which it gloatingly exulted "the sun never set," white imperialism was never solely motivated by self-interest.

The best conclusion we can get from the graph is that the population living in urban areas in 2030 is a prediction based on the present trend of urban growing continuing.
Why can we draw this conclusion?
We have not reached the year 2030 so we do not know for a fact, the percentage of the world that will be living in urban areas.
We can however predict that based on the present trend in urban population growth, a certain percentage of the population will live in urban areas in 2030.
In conclusion, option C is correct.

The correct answer is C) in 2030 is a prediction based on the present trend of urban growing continuing.
The graph shows the world population in urban-rural areas. The best conclusion that can be drawn from this graph is that the percentage of the world’s population living in urban areas in 2030 is a prediction based on the present trend of urban growing continuing.
Government agencies have statistics that show how the worldwide population is continually increasing and the phenomenon indicates that people tend to move to larger cities. As the graphic confirms this tendency, the urban population is expected to keep on growing at the same ratio due to that the better job opportunities and living conditions can be found in modern cities, instead of rural areas, where conditions are not so good and opportunities, limited.
Explanation:
Why are cities starting to be concerned with Increased population?
A. There are strains on the environment that will need to be addressed.
B. The economy is growing and it will mean more people
C. The rural areas will lose population.
D. New voters will have to have the attention of elected officials.

Treaty of Versailles
What were some demands of the Treaty of Versailles?
Was the Treaty fair? Why/why not?
Answer:
Treaty was unfair.
Explanation:
The Treaty of Versailles was the treaty that signed peace between the Allies and Germany specifically. To say it was unfair is an understatement. Germany had to give up all of its colonies, it had to cede a bunch of land (including but not limited to Alsace-Lorraine to France, and Danzig to a newly formed Poland), it had to significantly downsize its military, and it wasn't allowed to put troops in the Rhineland. Basically, they had to give up a ton of land and had to have their military reduced to the point of irrelevance.
Answer:
This is your own opinion
Explanation:
My opinion: the treaty was unfair, it was a cause of another world war and people at the time saw this and published cartoons upon it, the whole point of the ToV was meant to sustain world peace, however, Clemenceau wanted to destroy Germany down. We can clearly see it was not fair.

The Pueblo Revolt killed 400 Spaniards and drove the remaining 2,000 settlers out of the province. The Spaniards reconquered New Mexico twelve years later.
