" 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.

Living Hawaii: How Much Does Shipping Increase the Cost of Living?

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.
