Personal Connection Our group activity is to do a beach cleanup and I think that is so important to our community and Island because as much as we don't realize it we depend on the ocean for our everyday life. The fish we eat, we swim and play in the ocean and not to mention we live on an island and we are surrounded it so if it is disgusting there is no escaping it. Just by helping out for a couple hours we can improve the Hawaii we live in because we are making our island cleaner and safer place. Also if we are able to inspire others to help out then we can be even more successful and spread our cause throughout the island chain and make all the islands a better place. I hope to learn something from this project. Right now I only know surface level of what is wrong with having a dirty ocean but I hope that after cleaning up something hits me and I can have a realization of how important Hawaii is to me and the rest of the world. UN Personal ConnectionWhen more people come to a place then there becomes more waste. For example they will need more food and necessities for living and people are bound to litter therefore there is lots of waste spread around the Island. Finally that trash will drift into the ocean and pollute it more and more everyday. Hawaii is so beautiful that everyone wants to live here but they don't watch how they act in order to help save Hawaii and keep it beautiful. The UN website influenced our choice in this topic because after looking through the website we saw life under water and we all related to that because we love the ocean and grew up there. Personal Globalization ReflectionGlobalization is an everyday struggle for Hawaii it challenges the island, community, state, and nation. But personal I feel that one example of Globalization that affects me is tourists. Tourists come because they want to come and enjoy everything about Hawaii but end up drowning, disrespecting the land and the people that live here. My dad is a police officer and always has to deal with tourist that are angry about something, and they always treat him like he is dumb. Tourists should come here and not be as ignorant so that they can have a better time and the locals won't be as upset with what they are doing. Global Economic / Industrial ImpactsCapitalism in Hawaii makes it bad for example the homeless don't have jobs and if we weren't capitalized then we would all be in our grass shacks and not have a worry in the world (Hakuna Matata). My friends dad was in the marines and not only did their family struggle with financial situations but his father had to overcome a lot of personal issues before he could go back to work. He forced himself to get himself together so that he could go back to work and support his family. Im learning that the economic trends impact our goal because as it keeps growing then people will keep getting things and being as stubborn as we are, they will probably just break it down and start a new project, but we don’t think about where all the debris goes. It will probably go to the ocean
