-What are some examples of how Capitalism & coporate economics (Walmart/Walgreens/Target, etc) is creating challenges in your own island, community, state, nation that relates to this UN Goal / Issue? Companies tries to not pay their workers as much. Yes, this is creating challenges for the people of Hawai'i because the industries isn't paying the people enough money and the cost of living is getting higher so, it is harder for them to buy anything for themselves such as food items. -Why is this something to consider: Do you see a specific (friends or family you know) with a personal connection to these issues that connect with poverty or other social challenges (and please try to find at least one) - what/who is it and why? I don't really have a family suffering from poverty. -What, if anything, are you learning about how economic trends impact your Global issue and how has your understanding of the impacts of it perhaps influenced the way you see your group topic as a worthwhile challenge or problem to be addressed? I am learning that industries doesn't allow for lower class to get a better minimum wage so, it is harder for those people to purchase food or items that is necessary for their living.

-What are some examples of how IMPERIALIZATION / GLOBALIZATION is creating challenges in your own island, community, state, nation that relates to this UN Goal / Issue?
Some examples imperialization/ globalization is creating challenges in the state of Hawaii is, Hawai'i was a territory before the U.S. wanted to take over which has led to many affects later on such as the lost of the Hawaiian language/ culture for a while and the people of Hawai'i was highly influenced by America such as politics and culture. -Why is this something to consider: Do you see a specific (friends or family you know) with a personal connection to this (and please try to find at least one) - what/who is it and why? This is something to consider because my grandfather was affected because during the plantation days of Hawaii, my grandfather was involved and worked for those companies that was established here which was ruined by American business men. -What, if anything, are you learning about Imperialization/Globalization and how has your understanding of the impacts of it perhaps influenced the way you see your group topic as a worthwhile challenge or problem to be addressed? My understanding of the impacts that imperialization/ globalization brought to my group's topic is, charities that are established all over the globe to help people helped because more people is to know about the problem that my group is focusing on, hunger. |
