Movie ‘Avatar’ is analyzed to globalization.
-Introduction-
The Movie ‘Avatar’ ‘s story is about how Jake Sully changes from a human to an avatar.
Jake Sully was one of the sky-people before he was one of the Na’vi tribe.
The movie can be compared with historical globalization as it shows Jake’s process of change to an avatar. The sky-people are looking for resources so they find the planet Pandora. where there are useful minerals and they meet the Na’vi. This is similar to historical globalization which included cultural contact, colonialism, ethnocentrism, marginalization.
-Body-
Paragraph 1 cultural contact and colonialism
When the sky-people came the planet of Pandora to find some resources the sky-people make an avatar. and they try to contact through an avatar and the sky-people built a school so they can teach English the Na’vi to control them. It is an example of cultural contact and colonialism. and this is similar to Japan and Korea relations, and the First Nations of Canada.
Paragraph 2 ethnocentrism
In the movie. the sky-people’s army general thinks “we don’t need to learn the Na’vi tribe’s culture. we have to get resources” compared with Japan thought. when Japan was come in Korea Japan thinks “Korea’s culture is not important so Korea have to learn our culture”.
sky-people’s army general’s thought similar to Japan thought.
Paragraph 3 marginalization
I think When Jake came the Na’vi tribe’s place. Jake was ignored to the Na’vi tribe it seems like marginalization. This is similar to reservations for the first nation of Canada.
