What are some examples of how IMPERIALIZATION / GLOBALIZATION is creating challenges in your own island, community, state, nation that relates to this UN Goal / Issue?
An example of imperialism and globalization in Hawaii, is the foreign groups of people who come here to vacation and have fun. With more people coming here, the more trash and waste. People tend to leave waste on the beaches and on hikes to waterfalls, all affecting Hawaii’s water sources. Why is this something to consider: Do you see a specific (friends or family you know) with a personal connection to this (and please try to find at least one) - what/who is it and why? Hawaii, especially O’ahu, can be over-crowded in certain parts of the island. In Waikiki, it is full of tourists that do not know anything about our culture. The ocean pollution in Waikiki has caused beach erosion and trash to be found in the water and sand. I know people who have visited and tried to pick up after themselves, it does not hurt to remind others to pick up their trash. What, if anything, are you learning about Imperialization/Globalization 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? Learning about imperialization and globalization has broaden my perspective of ocean pollution and how to bring awareness. It has also helped me understand history from Hawaii and around the world and how it relates to the animals and corals under the sea. It deepened my knowledge of imperialization and globalization by able to connect it to Hawaii, to other countries, and to other people groups.
