The Industrial Age has impacted the way the world works today. The Industrial Age was a time of innovation for weapons, power, and energy. The Industrial Age has caused events like the French Revolution to occur. The French Revolution was a time period of violent protest in France. French protesters and activists would rummage the streets and cities because of their concern of how unfair Franceʻs monarchy was running. This has affected my Kahiau Topic/ UN Goal of No Poverty (Among Teenagers). In the French Revolution, you were born into power/ the throne instead of earning it. Due to this kind of monarchy, the rich were only getting richer while the poor were only getting poorer. The unbalanced system connects especially to my Kahiau Project because we are directly targeting teenagers. Teenagers, minors that are in poverty, most of the time, did not deserve or do anything to earn being thrown onto the streets. They didnʻt have a birth right to live up to this “legacy” of fending for themselves. This is unfair in all areas of consideration. The learning and understanding of events in History like the French Revolution and the Industrial Age trains young minds to notice, evaluate, and solve problems. However, understanding events like this from one, closed perspective is one thing but looking at it from the other is a whole different type of learning. That is why teaching and learning native cultural history has a huge impact on how the future will work. Understanding both perspectives gives a bigger picture to the new generation of innovation and change. The knowledge that youth hold will be essential with how activism and brainstorming for solutions to everyday problems will continue through communities.
