Take up the White Man's burden-
Send forth the best ye breed-
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild-
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.

—Rudyard Kipling,
"The White Man's Burden"

Which lines in this excerpt show ethnocentrism?

A. Take up the White Man’s burden– / Send forth the best ye breed–
B. Go bind your sons to exile / To serve your captives’ need;
C. To wait in heavy harness, / On fluttered folk and wild–
D. Your new-caught, sullen peoples, / Half-devil and half-child.

Respuesta :

D. Your new-caught, sullen peoples, / Half-devil and half-child.

Explanation:

  • Poem was written in 1899, at a time when Philippines  were fighting for independence from the United States of America.
  • Kipling clearly liked the idea of enslaving the people of one Asian country on the other side of the world. The White Man's Burden was written with the sole intention of persuading Americans not to give freedom to the Philippines.
  • Poem is, by modern standards, extremely offensive. The author calls the population of another race your new-caught, sullen peoples / Half-devil and half-child.
  • He criticizes them for not accepting white people as better than themselves and those who brought them to the light of day by colonization.
