Colonization is very important and was very important in the past and even in the present, but colonizations also affected many problems or issues we have today. Some of the impacts of colonizations were environmental degradation, the spread of disease, economic instability, ethnic rivalries, and human rights violations. Colonizations set up and impacted many of our Kahiau project topics in many different ways but one of the biggest ones were economic instability. My Kahiau project topic is poverty in Hawaiʻi but there is poverty all around the world. With colonization impacting economic instability this impacted many peopleʻs money situation. Part of the economy is the taxes we pay and with this instability it could of made us rely on bigger and more taxes people needed to pay. With more taxes needed to be paid, people with a little income could of been affected and this could of led to poverty. This leaves them with no money and canʻt afford a house or even bill. This is how the economic instability from colonizations impacted poverty around the world and my Kahiau project topic. Imperialism definitely changed our understanding of our culture, language, and activism in our community. As Hawaiians, imperialism defiantly impacted our history with the overthrow and other military things. The Hawaiian language was affected in history by imperialism because of the introduction of the english language also led to the decrease in our language. With our culture the same thing happened, and our culture was decreased as things became more advanced. But the one thing that was positive was the activism. The activism of this was important because it led to the Hawaiianʻs protesting and standing up which is a good thing. Overall, imperialism affected the Hawaiian culture in many ways. Blakemore, Erin.
