different that you found threatening when you visited a foreign country
bull Then decide which caused the most anxiety beforehand and which in fact turned out to have been the biggest problem (8-10 minutes)

would be right in considering his way of looking at the world and at life better that that of Maori or the Hottentot and no one will object in the abstract to England doing her best to impose her better and higher view on these savageshellip Can there be any doubt that the white man must and will impose his superior civilization on the coloured races
