Avatar Reflection.

You must write about the following:
1. The story in Avatar is really based on the age old story of colonization. Describe why Jake's colleagues want to destroy the tree the Navi live in. Do they realize that destroying the tree essentially destroys the Navi's habitat? Why or why not?
2. Describe a similar conflict from history.
3. Describe a similar conflict that is happening in the world today.
For an A+
What is the relationship between the Navi and nature? What is our modern society's relationship to nature? Do you think modern society can help save the environment by adapting some of the attitudes towards nature that native cultures (like the fictitious Navi) have? Why or why not?

For Harry's leaving party, we watched Avatar. It is a movie directed by James Cameron. Jake's colleagues want to destroy the tree the Navi live in because under that trees there are many minerals that can sell a lot of money. Yes, they do realize that destroying the tree essentially destroys the Navi's habitat. But they need the money so they still destroyed the tree. This movie is a little bit like when the Spanish people (Columbus) got to the "NEW WORLD (North America)". In Brazil, South America there are some native people that live in the Amazon Rainforest and we are cutting the trees down to make papers, etc. They think that the nature is their mother and their best friend. Today we don't treat nature like our friend or family anymore, we treat them like our enemy, we kill them.
