Imperialism is a stronger nation over powering a much weaker nation. In the movie avatar planet earth tries to take over the avatars planet. With all of their technology they are able to do so. In a much aggressive manner. In our case the united states tries to over throw others government and put in pro united states governments. Not many were successful but others were. In the movie avatar the take over their home. They walked in as if it were their home. They knocked things down they tore everything apart. Was it right? No! But of course “the bigger man wins”. They were vulnerable. Nothing they did or tried to do could stop them from letting earth upon their territory. When the humans tried to convince them to move and they did not listen the humans had no choice but to over power them with their technology and move right on in. The stronger nation always wins. They will do what they have to do to get what they want. In this case the humans wanted the avatars land but the avatars would not listen. They thought of it as their home. The humans were not going to sit there and listen to a weaker nation. All the humans had to do is walk right in and take over the territory that they wanted. When the humans went into the forest in where the avatars lived they were knocking down trees and everything in their way. Although the avatars were a lot taller than the humans they were vulnerable. They could not keep up with the humans advanced technology. The avatars were not armed. They had no choice but to run from the stronger apposed. And, of course the stronger nation won. Earth lacked resources that the avatars had. So they decided to over take the land. What ever the earth wanted they got. That is just how stronger nations work. Earth needed resources that they did not have. So they went on and found what they needed and where it could have been found. So they took over the weaker nations land. When earth realizes they need something they will go and get it. That is what happens with the united states of America. We know we are a strong nation so we continue to look for weaker ones to overthrow and use their resources for what we need. Such as goods, foods, etc. Their will always be a stronger nation picking on the weaker one. In the avatar Earth needed land resources that they did not have. But they found what they did not have somewhere where they knew they could take it from. So they went on and tried to over take what they were there for. If earth was a smaller nation than utopian than it would have been different. The earth would have token a step back and keep their needs to themselves. Earth models imperialism by being the bigger nation. Utopian is the weaker nation.

dog fight

In the war there were different styles of fighting. Ground fighting and air to air combat. Dogfights were very dangerous. In the game I was worried more about crashing into the floor rather than getting shot down. The controlling of the plane was probably difficult. If I was a pilot fighting air to air combat I would be nervous. I would try my hardest to shoot down rather than getting shot down. Pilots were probably to focused on the task at hand. Until they knew they were going down than they would probably start to think about the negatives.

Air mail

Mailing was the only way of communication. It must have been frustrating for most people. Not being able to communicate within minutes. When I am texting and the other person is taking longer than five minutes I get mad. Not knowing if your loved one is still alive and they are impatient to receive letters insuring that they are ok is a pain. Fast communication is a big part of our society today. Receiving a letter from a family 10 days later is not a quick way of communication. Some people would receive letters after their loved one was killed.

Panama Canal

Scared, nervous, unaware of whats going to happen next, are emotions I feel while I help build this massive canal. We all do our jobs and we get picked off one at a time as if we are animals. Race does not matter black, white, native American... we're all going. One falls there is another to replace him.

United states should not allow an organization in which they train civilians to be a mass killer. Training people for no specific cause can lead to a reckless society. On the site it explains how hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans were tortured, raped etc. We should not follow in their bad foot steps if we want to keep a well maintained society. For example, their was a highly trained ex marine who committed suicide. He was armed and had many weapons in his house hold. He could have done much more damage than what he did because of his well trained experience.
