WHITE MAN’S BURDEN – Rudyard Kipling

Take up the White Man’s burden—

Send forth the best ye breed—

Go send your sons to exile

To serve your captives’ need

To wait in heavy harness

On fluttered folk and wild—

Your new-caught, sullen peoples,

Half devil and half child

I feel that the Disney adaptation of the film Pocahontas half reflects this poem solely because when John Smith first meets Pocahontas, he calls her a savage and says he can help civilise her (referencing the poem and how it talks about white men colonising being seen as helping others when in a matter of fact, it removes and ruins other cultures traditions). But, Pocahontas refuses and introduces John Smith to her traditions later allowing John Smith to appreciate her culture as opposed to terminate or appropriate.
