What were the main ideas shaping US imperialism and how were they resolved

English

Lena [83]3 years ago
3 0

The main ideas shaping US imperialism were "Manifest destiny" and the "White man's burden". Manifest destiny refers to the 19th century belief that the United States were meant to expand across North America because of the particular excellence of its (white) people and (democratic) institutions. This lead to the Trail of Tears, among other atrocities. Once the US reached the Pacific Ocean, new lands came into view (Puerto Rico, the Phillipines). Manifest destiny became entwined with the idea that "civilized" nations had a moral obligation to colonize other peoples, which Rudyard Kipling summed up in his poem "White Man's Burden". The tensions in this "benevolent imperialism" were never fully resolved; the US invasion of Irak was launched under similar pretenses (the invasion was "for the good" of those invaded). The idea that other peoples have a right to self determination regardless of their level of development has not yet become accepted by the great powers, including the US.

Answer:

D. They reveal the tension created by Tatsu’s struggle to cope with the civilized world, where he  feels alone and out of place.

Explanation:

Tatsu was an artist who had been living in the natural spaces of mountains. He was a painter of dragons. He used to display his art on natural things and was very much attached to the world of nature. When he reached "the civilized world" he was welcomed with a studio, especially for his artwork. He was also provided with all the materialistic things required for the paintings. He felt suffocated and irritated in the materialistic environment. He longed for the natural spaces and natural beauty that was meant for the Dragon painters.
