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.
