Introduction:
If you think about it the movie Avatar somewhat reflects our history relatively well. The Na’vi tribe and the first nations peoples of Canada were both somewhat related to each other from how they were treated by other people of different ethnicities. The Na’vi and the first nations related through cultural contact & colonialism, ethnocentrism, and marginalization. But some people may not think about how they relate if they don’t consider how they relate.

Paragraph One: Cultural Contact & Colonialism
Cultural contact is the contact between two or more cultures and colonialism is when someone puts a settlement or colony on another land other than your own. In Avatar the Na’vi tribe comes into cultural contact with the Sky People when they came to their planet to take the resources underneath the land the Na’vi people lived in.

Paragraph Two: Ethnocentrism
Ethnocentrism is when someone or a group of people believe that their ethnicity is better than everyone else’s.

Paragraph Three: Marginalization
Marginalization is placing something or someone into a position of importance, influence, or power.

  2. I would recommend adding a statement to you conclusion hats moves people in favour of your opinion n this matter as in if you think what the humans did was justified you could say something like "the humans needed unubtanium to sustain life, and if they had not tried they would die without hope. No one deserves to die without hope. or something like that.

  3. You could also use a quote from the movie to end the conclustion, in order to sway them in your way. It is a good idea to try and persuade the reader by the middle of the conclusion so that at the end of the conclusion you have their complete attention and they understand where you are coming from. It is very good Brianna!!
