Having new technology developing through time is great but the way that they had to test everything put the world in danger. I just wish that the leaders back then would think into the future and how their actions could affect it. The cost of humanity was not worth the gain. Killing people or destroying their homes didn’t help anyone else but the “leaders” themselves. These advancements continue to impact our modern society here in Moananuiākea and Hawaiʻi negatively. From middle school, I learned about how the Bikini Atolls were used to test nuclear weapons and destroyed their homes. Itʻs sad that they couldn't do anything about it but just watch everything fall apart. The cost to our lāhui, our ʻāina, and our ʻohana is not worth the gain to society. These actions are wrong and without the right guidance, we can have everything taken away from us in a second.

Being able to watch Gandhi opened my mind to a whole new perspective. Seeing what they went through when being colonized made me connect that to my own kūpuna. When these people come in and just show up, they expect the people being colonized to just change in a second which includes our religion, our native tongues, our practices, everything. With the rabbit proof fence, in the ending Mr. Neville said something along the lines of, “if only they could understand what we’re doing for them.” This took me off guard because without those white-men, the Jigalong people would be able to sustain themselves. In the beginning scene, Molly and the other half-caste kids following her were hunting on their own. They brought back food to their mother and grandmother. What Mr. Neville doesn’t understand is that they native people do not need them. They don’t need to be changed into people they’re not. Having that World War 2 had new technology, us people in Hawai’i did deal with a lot. Being that we were basically being colonized, Hawai’i had to fight for their rights of ʻāina and resources. Our kūpuna believed that no land belonged to just one person because the land belonged to the higher power. They believed that if we give, weʻll receive which is why they were able to sustaint themselves for so long. When others came to the islands, they believed that the land could be seperated and that this piece of land was theirs specifically. This caused a lot of chaos and unnecessary things to happen. The Treaty of Versailles had several negative impacts on Germany. It was said that the treaty ended World War 1 but only in a way where it would satisfy France, Britain, etc. With this, if I were able to speak to the leaders during that time on behalf of Moaninuiākea, I would like to see where their minds are at. I feel as if leaders back then werenʻt able to truly see the bigger picture and how their actions could possibly affect everyone else's future. Having new technology helped the world to develop in a new way. Having something different made a huge impact in the world and in WW2. This new technology helped the soldiers to get the right amount of food that they needed and new medicines including advances in antibiotics, surgical techniques, etc. The soldiers were also able to have new weapons that were much more effective than the weapons they might’ve had before. Connecting all of this to our Kahiau Project, the impacts of World War 1 & 2 are still shown today. We connected our problem with drugs to poverty. Due to poverty, a lot of people did/do turn to drugs because it’s an easier thing to get to. With a lot of research, we have also seen that this is a way for most people to cope with their inner challenges. Being that poverty and drugs is a continuous problem, we have been asked on how we would be able to help uplift some kind of system that would work. Our group agreed that we would open more rehab centers but these centers don’t focus on the drugs but more towards the why and what they’re truly dealing with on the inside. Hawai’i has gotten expensive and our own people are now living on the streets. Being able to open more homeless shelters to push our community to work towards getting a home on their own is something we would like to accomplish. With the even newer technology that we have today, World War 3 could literally end the world. Our development in resources has changed a lot and knowing how much possible things could come out only leads to us ending the world in a second. The Treaty of Versailles or the peace document was signed at the end of World War. When the German government asked U.S. Pres. Woodrow Wilson to arrange a general armistice in October 1918, it declared that it accepted the Fourteen Points he had formulated as the basis for peace. However, the Allies demanded compensation by Germany for all damage done to the civilian population of the Allies and their property. Further, the nine points covering new territorial consignments were complicated by the secret treaties that England, France, and Italy had made with Greece, Romania, and each other during the last years of the war. Every build up and mistake will lead to War because of the leaders that feel what they’re doing is right. From 1939 to 1945, the years of world war 2, Hawaiʻi also went through a bombing in pearl harbor on December 7, 1941. This caused a great amount of tragedy for our island because the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor destroyed nearly 20 American ships and more than 300 airplanes. Most importantly, 2,403 sailors, soldiers and civilians were killed and about 1,000 people were wounded. https://youtu.be/chnnLMNlpncOur Kahiau project focuses on the main idea of drugs and now deeply it can affect one's life. In today's lecture, we learned about “The Great War”. Personally, I don’t think that the world did learn from World War 1 because 20 years later, World War 2 happened and then now in the present, there is a possibility of World War 3. Within those years, there were a lot more battles and smaller wars that impacted the world greatly. When it comes to the topic of war, they have a chance to make peace but when two different sides can’t come eye to eye, they feel as if the only thing they have left to do is fight. In the world today, the same thing still happens. I don’t feel as if anything has changed because we still have so many differences with places around the world. When we don’t have the right leader to guide us in the right direction, we end up in the wrong places with others from around the world. |

CategoriesSelf ReflectionThe first digital skill that I've learned throughout this process is learning how to work this website. On the side, you're able to add things and adjust everything to what you want on your website so that's a cool thing to do. The second digital skill I've learned is editing my youtube vlogs and uploading them onto here. I think it's unique to be able to put videos into this website. The first management skill I've learned is turning in everything on time. Knowing that I also had to do my part in the group website and my personal website, I knew that I needed to be able to do work something out. The second management skill I've learned is precision on what I'm talking about when it comes to the vlogs and me speaking on the history of the world. I wanted to make sure that I didn't sound like I don't know anything so I managed to research a lot.
