Introduction paragraph Draft

Cheyanne Copeland

“You want a fair deal? You’re on the wrong planet. The strong pray on the weak, that’s just the way things are.” – Jake Sully.

This quote is much like the Europeans unfair trading with the natives. They took the natives natural resources and sold them back to them. The movie avatar touched on many things for example ethnocentrism, marginalization, and white mans burden (according to Rudyard Kipling). These are the points that I will be focusing on in my essay. Both in the movie and in the past the “sky people” or Europeans should have realized what they were doing and how unfair and ethnocentric it was.
