The New Imperialism

Question 1 • PBCSD_Grade_Forgiveness_2109310_World History_S2_2015

Which lines in this excerpt show ethnocentrism?

Answer
A
Take up the White Man’s burden–/Send forth the best ye breed–
B
Go bind your sons to exile/To serve your captives’ need;
C
To serve your captives’ needs;/To wait in heavy harness,
D
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,/Half-devil and half-child.

Explanation

Ethnocentrism means viewing another group through the belief that one’s own culture is superior. Calling the people “Half-devil and half-child” portrays them as inferior and uncivilized, so choice D most clearly shows ethnocentrism.
