What are some examples of how COLONIZATION OR GLOBALIZATION is creating challenges in your own island, community, state, nation that relates to this UN Goal / Issue?
Globalization is creating a problem of dependance in Hawaii. We are so dependent on our food coming from outer island. We depend so heavily on this that we grow a bare minimum of our own food. So far it has worked for us. If something were to happen and the ships stop coming in then we will have a serious hunger problem. Hundreds of thousands of people will starve because we cannot self sustain ourselves like our ancestors. Why is this something to consider: Do you see a personal connection to this (and please try to find at least one) - what is it and why? I think this is something to consider because something like this can happen. We are not prepared for an event like this. My personal connection to this is that I live here and my dad used to work at the docks. My dad used to use help unload the shipping containers. He knows how many shipping containers come in every day. What, if anything, are you learning about Colonization or Globalization and how has your understanding of the impacts of Colonization and/or Globalization perhaps influenced the way you see your group topic as a challenge or problem to be addressed? I am learning a lot about Globalization. Globalization has a lot of pros but comes with some downside. A good thing about globalization is that a country can help another country. It could also go the other way around. If a country depends on another country and something bad happens to that country then they both are impacted. We can look at how globalization helps to fight hunger but also sometimes creates hunger.
