Schooling the World: The White Man's Last Burden

In my opinion it was unnessecary for the "white man"to force education on to people from different races and religion. Everyone is supposed to be able to express themselves in whatever way they want to. In this situation, people are forcing others to conform to they ways that they believe are right. Indigenous peoples of the world were completely happy with the way their lives were. They had certain cultures and traditions which may not have included higher education, but that does not mean that they are in anyway living worse off than the north american settlers. These people were probably very happy with their lives and didn't want to change but were forced to anyways. I do feel that education puts people on a similair level so that if indigenous people had wanted the oppurtunity to educate themselves to get jobs and live a different life they could have the oppurtunity but it should never had been forced upon them.
