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.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

It is likely that Elijah's servant was feeling cheated at first and was annoyed by Elias' insistence, but after the rain came down, his feelings changed and he began to see Elias as a great leader and a man of God.

Explanation:

This question refers to the biblical reading present in 1 Kings 18: 42-45, where Elijah had prophesied that it would rain in the region that had not rained for a long time. However, Elijah had spoken to God and had faith that the rain would come.

For this reason, he caused his servant to go up a hill, look towards the sea and see if there were any clouds as a sign of Rain. In doing so the servant reports that the sky is clear and that there is no sign that it will rain.

Then Elijah orders him to go up seven more times, which may have upset the servant and may have stimulated thoughts that he was being deceived by Elijah. However, after climbing seven times, the servant claims that the sky has a small cloud, the size of a man's hand. So Elijah says that this is the sign that it is going to rain.

The servant must have thought that Elijah was crazy, but after a few minutes it started raining with vigorous worms, which must have changed the servant's feelings towards Elijah, who was now seen as a man of God, prophet and leader.
