New Technologies continue to play a large part in WW2. There are beneficial and non-beneficial ways technology can impact the world in general. I like to keep in mind the ʻōlelo noʻeau of seeking the past to help shape our future. These technologies continue to imapct Hawaiʻi today because we look at things like the Corona virus and how things like laptops, zoom, and so much more technology can help us to learn and reach out to one another for our distance learning. Then you have things that may not be beneficial like phones can also be destructive and weapons are also risky, it reminds me of bombs, therefore reminding me of ideas and events like Kahoʻolawe. There are many things to keep in mind about.
I think that there are not a lot of comparisons between my project topic and the world wars, but I see that in both there is a metaphoric comparison of both not having a natural flow to things. My kahiau project is about natural water flow and I see this flow in the world wars where there are a misunderstanding of new ideas and people being introduced into th mix. If we look at world war 2 we see there is racism involved, so we can bring this back to the idea of a misunderstanding between people and ideas introduced which therefore disrupts the natural flow to things. I think we see this example in the first big fight that violence is not the answer. I hope that as the next generation of America and the future we can move forward with allowing all people to live and experience all of life. Famine, disease, and other stuff like violence are not the way to go. Although they may be overpopulated, all people are people. Allow them to make their own decisions and let's allow our heads and hearts to lead rather than that of a selfish motivation.
This helps us to think about our Kahiau project. We are able to compare that of France, Germany, Britain, Russia, and America to all that applies to our project. It allows us to see the way things were down, how they handle foreign affairs and how they used to keep power. I feel that all our Kahiau topic projects are really just after effects of colonization and America to Hawaii. I really hope that in the future we are able to turn Hawaii into something much more greater. Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, Colonization and Imperialization work together to perpetuate (make happen) your Kahiau project topic on a global scale because it helps to formulate research and know more about the past history on the topic whether it may be poverty, water diversion, hoelessness, or more topics. Globally this also helps us to see the different pasts and be able to compare them to one another. Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, Colonization, and Imperialization are all factors on what a leader needs to think about when addressing such topics. Now in Hawaii there are many issues needing to address. Things like Mauna Kea, and saving sherwoods, kahuku wind farms, pollution, traffic, overpopulation, and so much more. Hawaii is our home and if we want to continue to live on it. Leaders in power nowadays are selfishly thinking of themselves and not the sake of Hawaii, but for their own personal motivations to do what they do. Some leadership skills or the most i think is important, is being able to make the right decisions. On top of leading a people, place, or anything you should do what is right. Some things that I think we need now is someone who knows where they come from and how special a place you can call home can be. They need to be selfless and think about the decisions and their effects onto the place or people theyʻre leading.
The plan for the Community Service was stream restoration, so basically cleaning up the streams and restoring them to clean natural streams. What we ended up doing at our community service over winter break was cleaning up the loʻi patches and checking out the stream that flowed and fed all the kalo we were working with. We also had cut and prepared the kalo that we had harvested earlier that day. Pretty much everything that we did at the project went well. We had a great and fun time cleaning up the loʻi patches and learning things about papahana kuaola and how it came to be. Well one thing that could have gone better was that we could have been able to clean up the streams. Our understanding of poverty and the other UN issues of humanity is that we can feel for them and how they feel and what they need to do to keep themselves alive. Like an example is like we grow our own food like kalo and the other people from other places might have to do the same thing so they can feed themselves and make a profit as well. Yes as a group we were able to get our hands dirty and really understand the impact to the place we went which was with the non-profit, Papahana Kuaola. Because of this opportunity we see that just a little community service, a change can be made, and that anyone can do so much help by doing only just a little.
