1. I agree with the message in the poem, it tells of how to be a great person(man) without being dis-respectful. the most meaningful statement to me within the poem would be stanza two.
This is meaningful to me because i know what it feels like to be fooled, tricked, and it does take a good person to forgive somebody who was done you wrong. I believe Kipling's advice is useful today, because to many people change who they are for the wrong reasons.
2. I think Kipling used the term "man" because a man is pictured as strong, courageous, and leadership. I'm sure the term is used to explain all humans man and woman, i don't think Kipling would imply that these are only male traits. The terms that make it personal are"you'll be a man-you'll be my son!"This poem is definitely defines the requirements of any courageous person or leader.
