1. Lin Zexu’s reason for being against the drug trade is that when a foreigner goes
into England to do trade they must follow all English laws. So the same should go
for an Englishman who goes to any other country to do trade.
2. Yamagata believes that military action is necessary to protect the country. He
says that every European country is drafting men twenty years old and on. He
eventually hopes that all men will be soldiers so that no part of the country will be
without defense.
3. They both care deeply about the well being of their country and just want to
protect the people and have to best for their countries in general.

1. Lodge is just grouping different races together and saying if you’re this race you
won’t pass the literacy test instead of just giving the test to people and giving
them a fair chance to pass. (The tests were designed for people to fail anyways).
2. Because a lot of people had a sense of pride and nationalism in various countries

1. The “White Man’s Burden” is to “civilize” all people who are not white. The costs
are that the people you are “civilizing” will probably have hatred toward you, but
the rewards are that you are doing your duty as a white man and that you are
“civilizing” everyone in the way you want to.
2. They are completely outdated. Unfortunately there are still people that think like
that these days, but fortunately we try not to let them have too much of a say in
things.

1. These artistic representations show that Europeans were fascinated with with
Islamic culture but not to the point to actually try to represent them accurately.
Europeans were clearly under the impression that Islamic women were all just
there for the men to use.
2. These ideas would spread orientalist stereotypes because just like a lot of other
things we’ve seen throughout European history when someone starts to spread
ideas, whether true or not, they start to get a foot hold because of people’s
curiosity.

1. Labouchere uses the same formatting and similar wording to Kipling to really
drive home the fact that he’s making a mockery of “The White Man’s Burden”.
