I believe that the decolonization of Hawaiʻi would be bad and detrimental to us. Since the US first took over us we could see how that was not a good thing at the time but, many years later we can see the benefits that arrise when we are apart of the US. Living on an island means that we rely on outside sources we can get many supplies shipped form America to us without have international trade laws applying. Tourism is another big factor in Hawaiʻi. We rely greatly on tourism and Hawaiʻi is a very good tourist place for Americans because they do not have to go through the hassle of traveling international. That also applies to us when we want to travel to places such as Las Vegas. If we were not originally acquired by America in 1893 we would most likely be taken over by other countries such as China or Japan and I can definitely see that America was the better choice.

If Imperialization is: a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force; -->What are some examples of how Capitalism & coporate economics (Walmart/Walgreens/Target, etc) is creating challenges in your own island, community, state, nation that relates to this UN Goal / Issue? Corporate economies help our UN goal because they allow access for many pet owners to get the supplies and help they need to take care of their pets. Capitalism created many different options for pets and different ways you could take care of them. -->Why is this something to consider: Do you see a specific (friends or family you know) with a personal connection to these issues that connect with poverty or other social challenges (and please try to find at least one) - what/who is it and why? I don't have a personal connection that I know of that connects poverty to capitalism or communism. -->What, if anything, are you learning about how economic trends impact your Global issue and how has your understanding of the impacts of it perhaps influenced the way you see your group topic as a worthwhile challenge or problem to be addressed? Capitalism shows how many people are able to have pets because business that sell many products for a wide range of animals. Many animals are being taken care of because business will sell the animal and all the products needed to take care of them. Globalization is creating problems because the bringing in different animals that imapcted the ecosystem in harmful ways that create problems that we are trying to fix. I have many different family members that care for animals and different pets and they care deeply for them. This has given me insight on how this problem has started and knowing the problem gives us insight into how we can solve the problem and probably get better results. What are some examples of your research topic in your own island, community, state, nation Hawaii Humane Society has been around for a long time. Why was this topic chosen by the group: what is a personal connection to the issue or just because you have to do something :) If a personal connection (and please try to find at least one) - what is it and why? Our group chose this topic because we have pets and we all love animals and animals shouldn’t be treated unfairly and helping out the community through the Humane Society. What do you think of your ability to make an impact in the community & possibly make a difference in this issue? Why would that be important? What kinds of lessons do you think you will learn from this Kahiau experience? This conflict can improve the lives of the animals and the people in Hawaii. Most families that own pets are happier, so making sure strays can find a home can improve on our Hawaii and change the lives of these animals for the better. I think if we could go over and help out this organization and show how important it is, other people that feel the same as we do will do the same. One step at a time we can change Hawaii. From this Kahiau project we’ll learn how the lives of these animals are actually getting treated, get the true experience of what is going on in our animal population. https://youtu.be/4fcsgB8Xpj8 During the Winter Break, work on the Kahiau Project was at a minimum due to being on vacation. Every group member was on winter break and google classroom did not have information that work on the project was necessary. If google classroom had enough information I think that working on the Kahiau Project would have been done and completion would have been closer.
