Plus when Katara and Toph talk to each other about trying to find a way to get into a party for the Earth Kingdom\u2019s pet bear. But a big theme throughout this episode was the Dai Le making sure that the culture of Ba Sing Se as well as the peace is kept and that no one within the walls is supposed to know about the war. This is cultural imperialism because there is a group called the Dai Le that are in charged of protecting the culture of Ba Sing Se. So this group is a dominating factor that is making sure that their culture is being forced onto everyone in the city so that their way of life isn\u2019t lost. Plus the Dai Le will take people away if they are disrupting the peace and culture of the city to brainwash them to thinking that there is nothing going on outside of the city and that Ba Sing Se is a utopia that you should be happy to be apart of. The Dai Le is trying to control everyone in the city so that their culture isn\u2019t forgotten so they are dominating over the weaker \u201cnation,\u201d which in this case are the citizens of Ba Sing Se, so everything can be as the Dai Le thinks it should be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This episode sees Team Avatar finally arrive to Ba Sing Se to deliver news that could help defeat the Fire Nation, but does it pass the Bechdel Test?&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[188,1],"tags":[91],"splot_meta":{"author":"Gabriel Olsen","license":"","source":"Multiversity Comics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4577"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
