What did the term "white man's burden" mean?

History
1 answer:
8_murik_8 [283]3 years ago
8 0

This term comes from a poem by Rudyard Kipling and means that it was on the shoulders of a white man to maintain civilized societies. And that it was a task of white Americans to create an Empire just like Europeans Empires.

The term “white man” is explained due to the beliefs of that time. People were extremely racist and they believed that black men had reduced mental capacities and could not maintain a functional society.

This was not considered racism because at that time people really believed that there were two races - white and black and that the white race was better.

When are secondary sources more useful than primary sources
Reptile [31]

Advantages: Primary sources directly address your topic and often provide information that is unavailable elsewhere. For example, the questions you compose for an interview or a survey will likely target your unique interest in the topic. Similarly, to test a particular hypothesis, you can design your own experiment.
Disadvantages: Some primary sources, such as eyewitness accounts, may be too close to the subject, lacking a critical distance. Others, such as interviews, surveys, and experiments, are time consuming to prepare, administer, and analyze. Finally, unless you have been trained in accepted methodologies, your own primary research in certain fields of study may not be recognized as valid.
