Answer:
The White Man's Burden is a poem by the English poet Rudyard Kipling. It was first published in 1899 in connection with the US occupation of the Philippines. In an interpretation, the poem calls for colonialism, calling it as a duty of white people to "civilize" other ethnicities. In another interpretation, it complains of unreasonable burdens and duties that whites have against other countries and peoples for inexplicable reasons. The poem stands as a symbol of an alleged and exaggerated obligation of whites (Europeans) to help everyone else, even when others are not expected to help the whites. Still over a hundred years after its publication, the poem tears up strong emotions and it can be analyzed from several perspectives.
