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?

Jake's colleagues want to destroy the tree that Navi live in is because the area around the tree has the most mineral substance. In the movie, the merchant said : "This little rock sells one million per kilo." This is telling us that humans can never learn from the things happened before. In the movie Earth has become a hell. No green at all.

They don't care about the Navi's habitat at all. All they want from the

Pandora is the mineral substances, money. Even though they realize that what they're going to do will destroy the Navi's habitat, they don't care.

2. Describe a similar conflict from history.

This is like what happened to the American Indians. When the Pilgrims landed in America, the American Indians gave them food. But when the pioneers wanted more land, they killed the Indians that got in their way. That happened around the world, even in Taiwan. When people from China came to Taiwan, the aborigines were nice to them. But the same thing happened, the pioneers wanted more land so the aborigines were banished to the mountains.

In the movie Avatar, things like this happened.

3. Describe a similar conflict that is happening in the world today.

One similar conflict that is happening in the world today is the problem between China and Tibet.
Chinese want to take over Tibet for the similar reasons-- they want access to their natural resources.
They did not declare war but actually a war of psychological warfare. If there are 70000000 in Tibet, China would send 80000000 to Tibet.

Hati

After Hati many Hati died.
Just like what happened to us in August 8th.
We get a lot of help from other countries
and so did Haiti

But sometimes we did not give them what they really need.
Such as Fast noodles, they don't even have water.
How could they possibly cook the fast noodle?

People from lots of countries stick their hand out
try to fix their country.
