This article makes several key points. The first is that the imperialist attitude was hypocritical. This is explicitly stated: "That sense of moral responsibility, however, was often misplaced or, even worse, laced with hypocrisy." The second is that the historical white view of imperialism is that it was beneficial. The author uses Kipling's White Man's Burden as an example of the pro-imperialism stance. The third key point is that the black man has suffered greatly from imperialism, but valiantly lives on. The author uses the text The Black Man's Burden to illustrate his point.
The document is significant because it presents the case in favor of and against imperialism. Furthermore, while The White Man's Burden is a well-known piece, its counterpoint is less well-known, so the article lends some exposure to The Black Man's Burden. What I learned from this article was to appreciate the different perspectives on history that exist. For every view in favor of an action, there are views to the contrary. Both sides have a case to present, and it benefits us all to see both sides of the discussion so that we may make up our own mind.
Between the two documents, one common theme is that of imperialism. Both documents address the issue...
The first article discusses both the Fulani and Habe perspective on the issue. Another common theme is the juxtaposition two opposing viewpoints with regards to imperialism in Africa. The first article compares the Habe's positive view of imperialism with the Fulani, who had a negative view. The second article also presented positive and negative viewpoints, but this time from Europeans who disagreed.
A found the two documents compelling. There is a tendency to view issues, especially those in distant history, from a particular point-of-view. Yet, firsthand accounts show that there is no one correct point-of-view. The first article points out that not all Africans suffered from European imperialism, while the second article illustrates a European view that imperialism has been a negative experience. These disparate opinions are indicative of the richness of such a broad-based issue. They tell me that it is unwise to make blanket assumptions and impossible to distill any such issue down to a simplistic view. History is comprised of a wide range of histories, each colored with their own worldview. To properly understand history is to take the time to understand each individual history and each individual worldview.
White Man's Burden The film White Man's Burden directed by Desmond Nakano tells the story of an alternate reality wherein the African-American men are the predominant members of upper class society and the Caucasian population is in the social minority, a complete reversal of the current social racial dichotomy of the real world. Such a circumstance is not likely in the world as we know it. Even though members of the
Labeling white collar crime is a mystery. A shared misapprehension of white collar crime is that, like pornography, it is hard to describe, however a lot of people would recognize it when they understood it. The only thing concerning white collar crime is that no profession is excused or unaffected by it (Geis, 2002). A person just needs to pick up the paper, observe the news, or go on
Social and financial inequity continue to grow in modern society, and while Hugo may have had deep down hopes for improvements in the future, it is evident throughout most of his work that he was ultimately pessimistic about the future of justice and equality. As it turns out, unfortunately, his pessimism was not misplaced. Les Miserables is exactly as its title implies, which is why the "dismal, lurid, grotesque imagery"
Indeed, Billingsley asserts, the black church has been "and is" for blacks in America "the mother of our culture, the champion of our freedom," and the "hallmark" of blacks' "civilization" (Billingsley, 1992, p. 223). Resistance to racism and segregation also came in many small acts through bold and courageous moves by individuals. In Farmville, Virginia, for example, in 1935, Barbara Johns organized students in Robert Russa Moton High School to
Black FeministIntroductionThe black feminist roots can be traced to 1864 when slavery had not yet been abolished, and Sojourner Truth began selling pictures mounted to a paper card to fund her activism. After being enslaved, being in a position to own and sell her image for profit was revolutionary. According to Peterson (2019), Truth often commented that she �used to be sold for other people�s benefit, but now she sold
