The" White Mans Burden "
Well in away i think we are still living the white mans burden because the united states are still at war with Iraq. In the war is nonsense and its not for the USA use its for the president use. Then again i think we are not living the white mans burden because where not fighting for what we believe to bring peace we fighting for what we want and another country like the Europeans did in Africa. Yes i do believe the analysis of the poems because that is true that you should fight for what you believe in and bring peace instead of war in it should not be no royality but a leader i do believe that part. To me the white mans burden means honor in belief towards your country your fighting for your rights to bring peace towards your country today. Yes i do believe that the U.S is imperialistic today because we have power over Iraq.

Film Lesson"Moutains of the moon"
Some hardships that Europeans faced was that they got dieases. They were attacked as soon as they got to Africa. There was lions and bugs. It was hard to get around and they landscape was hard to walk on. It is strange that the third largest lake in the world was named after the British queen because the Europeans went in started diving up the lands in naming places. Even though it wasnt they country or land. The name should be named after the African man since it was not the British land.The primary technological advantage Europeans had was that they were civilized. They had a full grown society. People lived in houses. Had nice cloths and a government in place. Meanwhile the Africans, still lived in small tribes. They hunted food and wore "savage like cloths" Overall Europeans were able to conqueror Africa because of they were civilized and had technology such as gun powder and riffles. These things allowed them to defeat the Africans in war.
