    How does the selection by Edward Morel challenge or undermine Kipling’s beliefs? The dialogue “White Man’s Burden” is a condescending and patronizing text.

    interpretation of the poem is that Kipling presents that white people have an obligation to rule over people from other races or ethnicities. Also‚ it suggests that the “burden” of white people‚ is to help other countries to develop around the world. Finally‚ Kipling is suggesting that we need to “Take up the White Man’s Burden” meaning that we‚ the United States‚ must begin to colonize places around the world.
