IMPERIALISM AND EXPLOITATION
Imperialism and Exploitation

Social Darwinism is basically stating all the people who become successful or powerful

in the world do so because they are born with it or inherit it. It is saying that only the strongest

had for writing this poem was to show that America could be superior by taking on the “burden”

of the Philippines and providing for them (Kipling, 2009, p. 359). He is suggesting that the

America should send their best citizens to very uncivilized places to end hunger and take charge

of their new captives, the native people (Osborn & McKeever, 2013). As a consequence, this

poem lead to racism in the sense that it insinuates white men are superior to others because that

is how they were born. He leaves no question as to whether the citizens in the Philippines were
