People who support the BNP would be against this, as they oppose the idea of immigration. They support those who are white. ]]> 2016-11-13 14:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/137192152 https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/137194806 District 9 shows that the humans had an impact upon the ways the aliens would live their lives. For example they would eat cat food and we saw them interacting with locals as they were watching the aliens fight in the cage, while placing bets on them.]]> 2016-11-13 15:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/137194806 https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138374963 District 9 is an example of immigration as in the film aliens come into a society in which they're not welcome. As a result of this they try and get rid of the aliens, this is like in today's society as immigration is seen as a negative thing.]]> 2016-11-17 13:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138374963 https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138376290 Post colonialism - in District 9 the aliens come into another society and try make it their own. These aliens  had no power which also meant no choice of where they stayed like when colonialism occurred many years ago.]]> 2016-11-17 13:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138376290 https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138394255 District 9 displays how immigration happens and how people are treated like aliens. This is a clear example of post colonialism, when the aliens migrate to a new society. ]]> 2016-11-17 13:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138394255 https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138395828 The film highlights colonial issues in the past. District 9 is a modern day version and shows how the 'other' has no power within society. Humans had a powerful impact on their life's, for example the cat food. ]]> 2016-11-17 14:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138395828 https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138397999 In district 9 the humans got angry as they thought that they were superior within society and the aliens are subordinate. This highlights that the coloniser cannot live in a multicultural society ]]> 2016-11-17 14:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138397999 https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138400246 A key action of a coloniser would be to move people. In District 9 it shows that the colonised aliens didn't have a choice. Although they classify an area as their home, truly it wasn't. By manipulating them with cat food this connotes the power the coloniser has. The cat food is a symbolises the worth of the alien, nothing more than an animal.  ]]> 2016-11-17 14:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138400246 https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138403033 In District 9 it highlights the inequality in society, showing the upper class and the lower class. The lower class being hopeless when migrating and the upper class being the migrater. ]]> 2016-11-17 14:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/clareswhere/8fqabif7xlk4/wish/138403033
