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?
There is a problem with colonization in Oahu. Due to powerful foreigners who come with a well educated mindset, they come to Oahu and they build hotels so that they can make money. This does give more jobs to Hawaiʻi abroad, but it takes sacred land away from the Hawaiians, which in the end leaves them with no land. Not only that, golf courses suck the aquifers dry which leads to water shortages for the people especially Hawaiians that live here. This can relate to the Sustainable Cities and Communities. 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? This is something too consider and be aware of because foreigners come with education and the mindset to take over. They are greedy and they donʻt care about anyone else but themselves. We need to be more educated on how the system works so we can point out and avoid being taken advantage of. 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? Im learning on how the system works with these big corporations who come here and take the land and turn it into money. This helps my understanding because I can see the bigger picture.

What are some examples of your research topic in your own island, community, state, nation? An example would be that we live in an economy that is unequal. Meaning that there is a dividend between the people who make a living and the people who struggle to make a living. In the community/state there are people who can afford. Why was this topic chosen by the group: what is a personal connection to the issue or just because you have to do something :) This was chosen by the group because we live in a state of economic equality, and we want to better understand it so we can help other people get out of this situation. If a personal connection (and please try to find at least one) - what is it and why? At home I do live in a economic equality state of well-being because my mom works hard but still can't make enough for our wealth. How can this topic change or improve the Hawaii we live in? For who? Does this audience connect with you in any way? If so, how & why.. do you have personal friends of family members that are or possibly could be in this audience? It improves us as people and leaders to share this knowledge with people who are willing to listen. Yes they will because I can connect my personal experience with it. What do you think of your ability to make an impact in the community & possibly make a difference in this issue? Honestly, we will have an impact to those who will listen and take in what we are advocating. In other uhbwords, it matters how people take it in. Why would that be important? What kinds of lessons do you think you will learn from this Kahiau experience? This is important because it builds connections and understandings with others. We will learn how to advocate and better understand how this problem affects us as individuals and us as a society. |
