The Europeans practiced this in the Americas‚ the British in China‚ and the US in the Japan. Imperialism is thought of as negative a lot because it was used to control other regions and take their power away‚ and that left a negative impact on many. Avatar‚ a movie directed by James Cameron made in 2009‚ portrays this well showing the negative impacts that imperialism can have. They show this by having a moon called Pandora with a species

For life to continue there must be a balance; you can’t make energy from nothing‚ for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Populations outside of this agenda fade out

I chose to watch the movie Avatar‚ because it always seemed like an interesting movie to me that I’ve only seen bits and pieces of‚ so it was nice to actually watch the whole thing.

There has been nearly as much criticism as praise for James Cameron’s Avatar‚ which has been garnering the attention and awe of audiences worldwide since 2009.
