"Kahiau Project, Digital Learning via Distance & Student Lāhui Leadership"I feel like from day 1 to day 30 i have improved of the quality of work about history that i produced in World History. I would rate myself a five, 0 being worse & 5 being best, because over the course i learned how to work more efficiently and be more time manageable and organized. I think from day 1 to day 30, I would rate myself a five, 0 being worse & 5 being best, because of the improvement of the quality of digital application i produced in World History. In the beginning i was not too familiar with the technical things on my laptop like photoshop and illustrator for example so this class helped me learn how to do these types of things for the future. I would rate myself a 5 on the improvement of the independence & self-organization/direction i have exhibited. I have learned how to work on my own and making sure i am staying on top of my school work without having constant reminders and being told what to do all the time and this helped me be more organized and keep myself focused on things. I think that the work/learning was quite interesting, valuable, & added to my knowledge base. I did not know most of the things that ive learned before this class and this helped me get a clearer view of the past and of the world and be more aware of the things that have happened and things that are still happening. Making better connections between historical events & current events can be helpful to me in the future because i will be able to relate things to each other and see the differences and similarities and maybe even determine the possible outcomes. The Kahiau project has been valuable in learning Project management, applying digital & critical thinking, making connections between historical events & current issues we face. It helped us learn more about the world and different cultures that we did not know before and help us create a better understanding of things.

"Empirical Globalization in the 21st Century"The National Independence Day for the Nation of Hawaiʻi is called Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea and it is coming up soon. Our Hawaiian families have to balance the need to compete in European/Western sense for resources of land, home, career with our Native values and identities all while protecting the future of our Lāhui. Our Hawaiian families are having to fight for resources and land and even their homes against foreigners and people who have come to Hawaiʻi to experience "paradise". There is a lot of diversity throughout Hawaiʻi which can be good but also can be bad to the Native Hawaiians. An example of how Hawaiians are having to fight for these things is the percentage of Hawaiian blood to qualify for Hawaiian homes which is 50%. Many Hawaiians are upset because the percent of how much Hawaiian you are shouldn't justify if you're Hawaiian or not. All of Hawaiʻi is Hawaiian homes and thats how it should be instead. We can make sure that our Native people are valued in this modern world by fighting for whats ours and not letting others take advantage of us. I can use the gift and privilege of your education at Kamehameha to ensure that the native identities of our Lāhui and other peoples of color remain steadfast in the 21st Century in many ways. I can use the resources that Kamehameha Schools gives me access to, to become more aware of what is happening and ultimately take a stand. I can make sure that our native identity is set in stone for now and forever and fighting for whats right. Some examples of things that we can do is starting to teach more of this things in school and make sure students and kids understand these type of things. We can also try and make a better place for the next generation and a safer and fairer world.

The new dominant empire can compare to its predecessors like Britain, Rome, and other Empires. America has many problems that are ongoing compared to these other empires. For example, the black lives movement and protest against police brutality are one of the major events that are currently happening. Some differences and similarities between their management of their country are how they are handling the corona virus situation. The united kingdom took a strict course of action by telling the people of the UK that they must stay home and only can leave the comfort of their homes for the basic necessities and to exercise once a day. However, America has implemented basic rules of social distancing and has given each state an opportunity to create its own rules on how they want to go about handling this pandemic. We can see the effects of these choices now in the number of cases that these empires have with the UK having 287,621 confirmed cases and 44,602 deaths compared to the whooping 3,165,058 confirmed cases and the 135,094 deaths in the United States. America currently occupies the nation of Hawaiʻi after wrongfully overthrowing the Hawaiian monarchy. The U.S. overthrew the Hawaiian nation after being declared its sovereignty and independence from other countries around the world. The U.S. held and forced King David Kalākaua at gunpoint to sign a constitution that would give up most of his power and the right for the Hawaiian people. America cruelly annexed the Hawaiian nation and overthrew a thriving monarchy.

They want to be prepared for an aggressive china and a less reliable US partner. They will use this money to get things like better naval and air forces, ammunition, and fuel storage. They have already spent $800 million on a AGM-158C long-range anti-ship missile from the US Navy. They want to be ready for the Chinese military off of Australia’s coast.
My initial reaction to this article is that I was quite surprised but it was very understandable. Australia is preparing for a more dangerous world which is true especially with things like the economy at stake due to the whole ongoing situation regarding the Coronavirus. This article can affect the US and even Hawai’i because Australia is only 5,652 miles away from Hawai’i and this can be alarming for us. If they are preparing and getting all of these new military things we should be preparing as well. Westcott, B. (2020, July 01).

If Germany was not treated unfairly and was forced to give up lands and pay compensation, Hitler would have not wanted to get revenge and ultimately not start World War 2. The outcome of Germany would have been a lot better as well as for the rest of the countries and people. By treating Germany like this, they started to rely on their own and started becoming a part of Nationalism. The World War 1 and the Treaty of Versailles made an impact on the issue in my Kahiau Project which is homelessness. The main effect of the treaty is that the Germans were treated unfairly and had to give up things and the punishment was quite harsh. Many homeless are also treated poorly and are neglected and seen as less than others. In reality they are still human just like anyone else and should be treated the same. I think unfairness makes an impact because if we treated everyone good and fairly then people would be finding solutions and willing to help others like the homeless. An example, of an issue here is the Mauna Kea and the TMT movement which the government is treating Hawaiian lands unfairly and are constructing on sacred lands.

I think it can relate but it was nothing to do with food. However, i think the principles relate to it. For example, the Mathusian Flux theory is if food production is growing at X rate and the population is growing at a much faster Y rate. This is like if the black community is struggling to stay alive and get freedom while the other societies or communities freedom are continuously growing. Although it may not be apparent, it is known that the Malthusian Flux theory plays a very large role in homelessness. The more our population grows, so do the numbers of waste, and the numbers of those who are not able to be fed. For a while, they have been world hunger and people are living in the streets starving not know where their next meal will come from. The Malthusian Flux Theory is about how the population increases at a faster rate than itʻs resources. This problem occurs in Hawaii especially because we waste over 237,000 tons of food which is equal to over 26% of the food supply. By wasting and not taking care of the food that we have today we are slowing down our resources and speeding up the population.
" Leadership Model of Gandhi"The British maintained control for many years and nothing was done. Gandhi came along with his ideas and things began to change. The native people of India started to fight but they did it with non-violence. They fought against the racial injustice that was occurring in their motherland. This reminds me of what is going on today with the Black Lives Matter movement. Many people are trying to get justice for black lives who have been treated unfairly over these past years. They are especially trying to fight against police brutality with the death of George Floyd going viral. Just like Gandhi these people are looking for a change in our world and are trying to fight the racial injustice. There has been peaceful protesting despite some of the riots that have been started such as in Minneapolis. Gandhi used peaceful resistance to spread the idea of de-occupation by talking to his people. He wanted to accomplish this with non-violence. Many people were against this at first but then began to realize the importance of why they had to do it with non-violence. This can connect to what is happening across the globe such as Palestinians and the Israelis. This also can connect to what is happening in Hawaii regarding the Thirty Meter Telescope. The Hawaiian people have protested with Kapu Aloha which is similar to Gandhi's tactics with non-violence. They have been peacefully protesting against the construction of a telescope on sacred lands. These ways are quite similar because they both want to resolve the problem peacefully with no harm done to both of the parties. "What Are Israel And Palestine? Why Are They Fighting?".

"From Agrarian to Impacts of Guns Germs & Steel"The Guns Germs & Steel presentation connects with the factors that are working together to create the issue of "poverty". These factors relate to my UN development Goal that my group has chose to study which is homelessness. For example, I learned that The New Guinea people are culturally diverse and adaptable but they are much poorer and have less advanced technology. I also learned that hunting can be unpredictable so traditional societies relied more on gathering. Throughout history people were able to live by becoming productive farmers and were able to provide for themselves. This relates to the issue of "poverty" and the UN Development Goal that we are trying to solve because they used Collective Learning and over the years they found out what works best and how they can become a successful Agrarian society.
This "issue" presents itself in modern day today all over the world. For instance, many places such as Hawaii are not self sustainable. In fact, Hawaii gets 80% of all of its goods, 90% of its food, and 95% of its energy resources imported. This means if shipments stopped coming we wouldn't have anything to sustain us and to help us survive. This would create a major poverty problem because people wont have enough resources to live off of and we may become very poor and even homeless. However a solution that is being tried is Hawaii 2050 sustainability plan. This plan encourages the use of renewable energy which reduced Hawai‘i’s greenhouse gases. Promoting water conservation and reuse, advocating for waste reduction, increasing Hawai‘i’s food security, supporting clean transportation, promoting pedestrian and bicycle accessibility, encouraging smart-growth, planning for sea level rise, stressing the need for affordable housing, encouraging a diversified economy, and supporting our indigenous Native Hawaiian culture.

It changed the way people viewed things through our world and helped develop new ideas that weren’t once thought of. I feel like our current society wouldn’t be as advanced in technology is we didn't discover these theories and other breakthroughs but I feel that at a point in time we would’ve discovered it sooner or later. Without these discoveries right now we wouldn’t have certain things that we have now. I personally dont have someone in my life that were affected by these discoveries but i can say that these things have changed each and every one of us and changed the world. These things impact and play a part in perpetuating the problem in my Kahiau project because just like each of the theorists, we have a problem and are trying to find solutions for it. These theorists started off somewhere just like we are and eventually had major breakthroughs that allowed them to find a solution to their problem. This connection from history to modern day issues in our society today is that we may get more advanced throughout the years but we will always have the same brain and can think of more things like they did. More and more problems are developing and more people are trying to find solutions to these problems. This connects to history because during the enlightenment many people were discovering new things as we are still doing today. (n.d.).

This connects to the issue of “poverty” because the UN Goal is based on our ability to use Collective Learning to accumulate all our knowledge to solve the problem. In ancient Hawaii we were an Agrarian Culture who was able to survive off the things that were produced by the land but now in modern day Hawaii we rely on the shipments of food to our grocery stores. Money is something we all are required to have and since some donʻt have they are unable to eat so they fall into the category of “poverty”. Poverty is just one example of this UN Goal being unsuccessful or not achieved in a certain area of the world. This issue of “poverty” and rising cost of living it presents itself through, homelessness. We see this today by people living in tents on the streets. Some current solutions that are being tried is, shelters, donations, formulating a ten-year statewide plan, creating/establishing affordable housing and volunteering to organizations that help the homeless. Some specific examples of solutions being tried in Hawaii is, lowering the cost of health care, creating affordable housing developments, producing tiny homes and communities, providing a safe, functional environment for those in need to get service, free clinic, long term medical respite beds, and permanent supportive housing units.
