OK, Mr. Lemons, here are my answers to the White Man's Burden questions?
1. What does Kipling mean by "the White Man's burden"?
He means that "the White Man's burden" is a European's attempt to convert natives to "the dominant religion" (Christianity).
2. How does Kipling justify imperialism?
He justifies imperialism by stating in his poem that it is a good thingand it could benefit a lot of people.
3. Why might justification be so appealing?
It is very appealing because countries tend to want more power, so they colonized anything that's supposedly non-European to gain more land, resources and more power.
4. Why was religion used as a justification over money, capitalism, the greater good and political strength?
It was used for those stuff because religion probably helped the rise of imperialism.
