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.

Dear diary,
Today me and Jack did something really good of the community. As we all know this year has not been good for all of us in the town and nearby. Me and Jack performed a campaign to aware people about the use of water and to save it much as it can. The situation have been tough with the water cutting near to fifty percent and the indications of further decrease. It was a tough day to stand in the heat and interacting with all these people but the feeling after the hard work was really great. I think this day will come out to be a millstone in Jack and my friendship.
I went to the beach to stroll around. The view of the beach was so pretty. Chris and I were happy we came. But then we got really tired from walking around. "We should come again!" Chris says. "lets go home and play interesting games." I say, Chris nods. Chris's birthday was around the corner. So i decided to get him and early Birthday present.
Sorry for the bad grammer i tried.
