Hi everyone,
You have managed to find some very powerful examples of post-colonialism. To be honest, I was both shocked and disheartened by the numerous and varied manifestations of such a biased theory-finding examples of discrimination should never be that easy.
From celebrities (many of whom society considers role models), to political cartoons, advertising and even video games, post-colonialism is still very much alive today. I am incredulous not only that people can produce such offensive material, but also that we as a society continually allow it to happen. As with many things in life, vigilance and education are key to making sure that the destructive influence of post-colonialism is minimized.

Your blog post for this week concerns your independent novel study. Please identify and describe the central conflict, or conflicts, in your novel. Who, or what, is involved? How is it resolved (if you've gotten that far)? Does it remind you of a conflict from another work of literature, movie, television, or your own life?
This post will be due on Sunday April 10 at 8 pm. The comments will be due on Monday April 11 at 8 pm.
