The speaker seems to believe everything he is saying that imperialism and colonialism is a thankless task taken up by whites purely out of goodwill for other races even if those other races lack the ability to see the gift being bestowed upon them  without any ulterior motive of profit reward praise or even gratitude.

To some extent, these poems reflect different cultural perspectives. "The White Man's Burden" was written by Rudyard Kipling, a British author and imperialist, at a time when Britain was expanding its empire around the world. Kipling's poem reflects the cultural perspective of a powerful and dominant colonial power that believed in the superiority of Western civilization and the duty of the white man to civilize and uplift the "savage" peoples of the colonies. This perspective was based on a belief in the inherent superiority of European culture and the desire to spread it to the rest of the world.

On the other hand, "The Poor Man's Burden" was written by a Scottish poet named James Bernard McNeill, who was a member of the working class. McNeill's poem reflects the cultural perspective of a marginalized and exploited group that was negatively impacted by imperialism. This perspective was shaped by the experience of poverty and social inequality that was common among the working class during the era of imperialism.

In "The White Man's Burden," Rudyard Kipling presents the idea that the white man has a moral obligation to civilize and uplift the "savage" peoples of the colonies. He argues that this burden is a noble and honorable duty that will bring glory and praise to the white man. He writes, "Take up the White Man's burden, / And reap his old reward: / The blame of those ye better, / The hate of those ye guard."

In contrast, James Bernard McNeill's "The Poor Man's Burden" criticizes the concept of imperialism and argues that it is the poor who bear the true burden of imperialism. McNeill's poem portrays imperialism as a greedy and exploitative system that benefits the wealthy at the expense of the poor. He writes, "And the men who bear the burden, / They are driven into the dust, / That the rulers may have their pleasure, / And the rulers may have their lust."

"The White Man's Burden" was highly criticized for promoting the idea of imperialism, which many people saw as a form of racism and oppression. Kipling's poem presents the idea that it is the duty of the white man to civilize and uplift the "savage" peoples of the colonies, and that this burden is a noble and honorable duty. However, this idea was seen as highly problematic and was widely criticized.

One of the main criticisms of the poem was that it promoted the idea of Western superiority and the notion that non-Western cultures were inferior and in need of civilizing. This is evident in lines such as "Your new-caught, sullen peoples, / Half-devil and half-child," which suggest that the colonized peoples are uncivilized and in need of guidance from the white man.

The language and imagery of these poems reflect the culture of their historical time period in several ways. In "The White Man's Burden," Kipling uses language and imagery that reflects the dominant colonial mindset of the late 19th century. For example, he portrays colonized peoples as "sullen" and "half-devil and half-child," which suggests that they are uncivilized and in need of guidance from the white man. This reflects the widespread belief among European colonial powers that non-Western cultures were inferior and needed to be civilized.

Similarly, Kipling's use of the phrase "white man's burden" reflects the cultural belief that it was the duty of Western powers to bring civilization and progress to the colonies. This idea was widely accepted at the time and was used to justify colonial expansion and domination.

the poem was criticized because I feel it celebrates British colonialism as a mission of civilization that eventually would benefit the colonized natives. in the poem, it mainly talked about the “hard task” and how much “praise” the white man would get.

i didn’t like it just by the title alone and reading it only confirmed my feelings. the legacy is colonialism of non whites.

in Kipling's poem imperialism is shown as a sacrifice that white men must make so that they can bring civility and order to other people.

I think "The white man's burden" was criticized because it was never suppose to be too much for others but because white man cant handle it others are forced to carry it. I know this becaus in the text it states "Go bind your sons to exile

To serve your captives' need;

To wait in heavy harness"

My reaction to the poem was a relization of the unfariness that was brought upon us. The legacy of this poem shows us exactly what its like to have this bureden stop us from acheiving our main goal which is freedom.

The difference between the white man's poem and the poor man's burden is that the white man's poem only talk about the whit man's and their burden, while the poor man talks about a mixture of poor people and their struggles

to a big extent because in each poem it involved the difference in the racist and how they are treated based off of there finance and skin color.

I think that "The White Man's Burden" was highly criticized because it was racist and written by a white supremacist. From the text its states, " Take up the White Man's burden, send forth the best ye breed."

"The Poor Man’s Burden" differs from "The White Man’s Burden" because it talks about how the poor man works for these white wealthy people and receives pain and suffering in return. It talks about how the white man profits from the work of others. From "The Poor Man’s Burden," lines 15–16, it says, "To work for another’s profit, And suffer on in pain." Also, the poem states, "Your Monopolistic rings, Shall crush the serf and sweeper, Like iron rule of kings." From these lines, you can understand that the white man wants to rule and obtain power despite what happens to others. On the other hand, "The White Man’s Burden" wanted to have superiority over every race and keep it going for generations so that all white people had power. In this poem, it states, "Take up the White Man's burden—Send forth the best ye breed—Go bind your sons to exile." Also, it says, "To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride; By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain. To seek another's profit, And work another's gain." In these lines, you can see how "The White Man’s Burden" just wants to civilize everyone but itself.

After reading "The White Man's Burden" I was taken back because of the way they wanted to be seen as better than. Also, I didn't like how they were so blunt with how they treat people wrong and try to overlook the fact that they harm people during their process of trying to take from them and gain power.

The language and imagery of the poems reflect their time period because back then it was more racist and harsh, so people wanted to be powerful, while others had to suffer. From Kipling's poem, he states, "Take up the White Man's burden—Send forth the best ye breed—Go bind your sons to exile." This shows that they feel entitled and better than others. From McNeil's poem, he states, "To serve your pride and greed;To wait in heavy harness,Upon your rich and grand;The common working peoples,The serfs of every land." You can see here that the poor people work for the rich and receive little to nothing.

They focused on the new warfare in the Philippines, the hypocrisy of claiming moral sanction for a policy they argued originated from greed for military power and commercial markets, continuing racial and gender inequality at home, and the special "burden" of imperialism to the working people of the United States.

Well my reaction is that I feel like they were doing too much with the poem.

The reason why I feel like it was criticized, was because they were doing a lot of imperialism and I feel like most people didn't like the fact that it was a lot of imperialism.

The poet in "The White Man's Burden" attitude toward imperialism was that it was a good thing. The poem states that "Have done with childish days", "Through all the thankless years, cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom, the judgment of your peers". The poet in "The Poor Man's Burden" attitude toward imperialism was that it was a bad thing. I know this because the poem states that "To serve your pride and greed;, "To wait in heavy harness".

They emphasized the ongoing racial and gender inequality at home, the new fighting in the Philippines, the dishonesty of claiming moral legitimacy for a policy that, in their view, was motivated by a desire for military dominance and commercial markets, as well as the unique "burden" that imperialism places on American workers. -Shakiyra D.

I didn't have too much care for it. It painted the less fortunate in a bad light. Like the British and Americans were doing a good deed by "taking care" of the Phillipines

The first poets attitude is very positive towards the idea of the British imperializing another race.

Their perspectives are polar opposites Kipling idea that basically being racist and talking down on other races is okay because you have a goal and that is to take the white man's burden.

Contrast to McNeill's idea that stripping other races of what theirs because another races wants and needs isn't brave and worthy of praise.

it was criticized because it was racist and degrading. "To seek another's profit,

And work another's gain." The lightly " The "proffered laurel,

The easy, ungrudged praise.

Comes now, to search your manhood

Through all the thankless years,

Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,

The judgment of your peers!"
