Does kipling believe that non-Europeans are grateful for these benefits? Explain.

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Yes, we can say that Kipling believed that non-Europeans were not grateful for the benefits westerners would bring.

We are referring to the famous poem "The White Man's Burden," written by Rudyard Kipling. The poem refers to the War of 1899 between the United States and the Philippines. Kipling supported with his poem the imperialistic ideas of the United States and the annexation of the Philippines. Kipling thought that the American white men had the right and the moral obligation to educate other races. However, he considered that non-white peoples such as the Philippines would not be grateful after the help of American whites.
