Value Of Life In Avatar
A seminar, Value of life, based on the film Avatar Directed by James Cameron.
The value of objects is sometimes misinterpreted, for example, money, we all know its value, yet it is still just a piece of plastic.In James Cameron's’ Avatar the true value of life provides the foundation of the culture of the inhabitants of Pandora.

I will explain how the strength of the Na'Vi originates from the respect they have for Pandora and the inherited knowledge of their ancestors.

The gravity of this is shown as Neytiri saves Jake from the Viper wolves in the forest, “no thank, this is sad very sad.” Which just continues to show how everything in the forest is treated as something to be
