Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The purpose of the article is to show how the animation "Avatar: The last airbender" is current, pointing out political and racial issues seen throughout the world, in addition to bringing an exciting narrative about family issues, personal relationships and even spirituality, faith and hope.

2. According to the article, we can see that the success of animation is the result of the ability to talk directly with an audience that has been constantly victimized by colonization, the suppression of cultures and the devaluation in relation to richer, stronger cultures. This can be seen through the words of Omoli, an assistant professor of Middle East, Islamic history and the global south at Penn State University in Pennsylvania, which associates the nation of fire (present in the amiation) with the colonization that European nations have promoted. Omoli affirms that “One of the things we see with the Fire nation is the ideological justification for what they're doing. We are a glorious civilisation. We have abundance, we have wealth, we have technological advancement; we need to share it with the rest of the world. That's almost word for word European colonisation.”
