Impacts Of The Industrial Revolution
Agriculture was a major component of Russiaʻs economy for many decades, leading up to 1917. Even with industrialization, the majority of Russians were peasants and they tended to the land. In order to remain in power and retain it, they had to keep the “peasants” on their side. So, from the agricultural revolution to the industrial revolution was rather difficult for the people. But a stroll through the park for the Romanovʻs.
The ongoing flux of the Industrial age still impacts us heavily this day. During this age the population rises, urbanization happened, and some people became very wealthy. But something that still affects us til today is the “middle class.” This affects people all over the world because this class of people are not “poor” but they are also not rich. The creation of “classes” during this age affect our economy, which shapes our whole world today. This impacts our challenge in Hawaiʻi because of all of the different classes. Our problem is pollution and a lot of pollution comes from the poorer people who are homeless. This is because they donʻt have anywhere to put their trash, which results in the trash going everywhere except a trash can. Another thing that also affects us in Hawaiʻi is urbanization. Our land has changed a lot from what it used to be. Industrial Revolution. (2020, May 6). Retrieved from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution |
The French Revolution
The criteria that set up the French revolution was the rebellion of the people. It all started when the people did not like how they were being treated by the government so they decided to not take it anymore and this resulted in the government being over run.
I think that the way we see this in modern America is with President Trump. Right now he is on trial for impeachment because the people will not stand for how he is treating us so they are trying to get him out of office. In Modern Hawaii the way we can see this is with Ige. The people are currently hating on him because he is not treating us Natives fairly. Some ways that we can handle this challenge is by having better leaders leading us. If we had better leaders then no one would hate them and we wouldnʻt have a problem. Some solutions we can have in place is to place certain power restrictions on those in charge.

Community Service Events
Anaʻs Experience:
For the community service, I planned to work with 808 Cleanups & the Waimanalo Limu Hui. I also planned to go with my friend and her group from another period. When it came to the event day everything went as planned. Once we got there the main worker explained to us that we were going to be moving rocks to create a rock wall so that the waves from the ocean didnʻt come in and ruin the pond. So there were some people working on the ocean side of the wall and there were some people working on the pond side of the wall just so more progress could be made. The whole event lasted a little over 2 hours and I think it was a very good experience.
Something that went well was that there were a good amount of people that showed up because some of our group members brought their family with them. This was good because more progress was made since there were more hands working. Something that we struggled with was moving some of the heavier rocks. But to overcome this, me & Kaianna worked together to move the bigger rocks. So in the end everything worked out fine.
My understanding of the UN sustainability goal #14 issues having to do with environmental issues have expanded during this whole process. While doing this community service I realized that more people should be giving back to the land because it goes through a lot. My connection to and application of leadership skills have also expanded during this project because I actually had to get hands on with something. An example of leadership that I demonstrated during this project was following through with the plans and making sure everything went smoothly.

Applying Expansion Concepts
|
The four major concepts that impacted globalization was colonization, exchanges, working, and exploration. I think that exploration impacts our topic the most, which is environmental issues. This is because more and more of our environment is crashing due to people finding the land and using it for commercial uses like to build hotels and buildings in general. In modern America, we can see people who are losing jobs while others are getting jobs. We can see people who have lost their homes while there are others who live in mansions. We can see these same things in Hawaiʻi. Maybe even overpopulation. Oʻahu itself has over 1.4 million people on it.
We can be prepared to handle environmental issues in Hawaii by standing together as one & fighting for our land. Which is what we can currently see happening on Mauna Kea and in Waimānalo and in Kahuku. As far as solutions go, being that we were all in a group together we still went off and did different things in different regions of which all connected towards our main subject. Paris went to Vietnam and explored a lot about the 3 world country and environmental issues there. The main issue that affected everyone and everything is the water there. Water is the basis of life. Without clean water the animals there will be drinking dirty water which then goes into their system. So when they are eaten, the people then consume the water that the animal had once consumed. Which then spreads diseases from the animal to the people. There are many solutions/government solutions that may be put in place. For instance fixing this dirty/toxic water issue could then help the animals which helps the people. |
Research Update
The 2 enlightenment philosophers that relates to my Kahiau Project is Francis Bacon & Rene Descartes. Baconʻs quote was “We cannot command nature except by obeying her.” This quote can be applied to environmental issues because everyone nowadays is trying to cut down forests to build buildings or just ruin nature in general for commercial use but we are ruining our Earth. So instead of doing this we should find other places to build things and let nature be. Descartes quote was “It is not enough to have a good mind, the main thing is to use it well.” This quote can be applied to our project because obviously we all have minds but this quote is basically saying that not everyone knows how to use it well. For example, like people who just litter everywhere and donʻt think about the future outcomes, these people arenʻt using their minds to think smartly.

The use of chemicals and fuel in the factories resulted in increased air and water pollution and more use of fossil fuels. Here in Hawaiʻi, we can still see this when it comes to water pollution. Especially at beaches there will be a lot of plastic in the water which is ruining the waterʻs wildlife health. (n.d.). Retrieved from https://study.com/academy/lesson/the-industrial-revolution-impacts-on-the-environment.html Colonization is a propelling factor that happened that impacts my project as a result of the Era of Imperialization. Colonization is the action or process of settling among and establishing control over the indigenous people of an area. This impacts my project because with the idea of bringing new things to an indigenous area then the indigenous properties can be affected. Examples are the animals and plants. Control is another propelling factor that happened that impacts my project. Control is the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events. This impacts my project because the power to influence peoples’ behaviors can affect the environment. The power to change someone’s mindset could change the current way society flows., which can affect the environment It continues to impact our group’s issue in Modern Hawai’i because as the population continues to grow different things can happen in the future. If America loses control of Hawai’i then another country might try to take control over Hawai’i. This might not happen in the near future but some of the greatest empires have fallen in the past. |
ʻĀina, War, Nations, & Native Identities
During the war people were using land as power. They thought that whoever conquered the most land would have the most power. This is not pono leadership because when they were fighting over the land no one thought about the people that were already living there. With the rise & fall of nations people that were living in these places were being impacted. It was not good for the people because it affected their economy in a negative way. At this time the unemployment rate was already at 25% and with the wars this percentage would just get higher. Some struggles that were faced with national and native identities is that people who were not from the nations would do whatever they had to do to “win” the land. They treated it as it was a prize and like no oneʻs lives were being affected by the wars. During the war some native people were forced off of their land which wasnʻt fair at all. The Kahiau Project aims to resolve some of these challenges by us researching certain issue topics and then going out in our communities and try to solve our problems. The ideological struggle during the Cold War was between the two superpowers. We can still see this in Hawaii today in our government. The two superpowers in this situation are the natives and the white men. For example, native peopleʻs voices in government are always overpowered by the white men. |
