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?Globalization and colonization in Hawaiʻi are very big because there is many different cultures and ethnicities that come here. But because of the many groups that come here, there is a large population of people in Hawaiʻi. Since there is a large population that means more tourists/visitors to the beaches of Hawaiʻi. When these people go to the beach they tend to not throw away their trash, which leads to even more pollution to our oceans. Another example is when planes bring in more people (foreigners) fly above the ocean, the planes release gas, which then goes into our coral reefs and sea creatures/animals. 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? Seeing how crowded and overpopulated Hawaiʻi has been getting recently, is scary to see what more damage the population can do to the environment. Every time when going to a beach I see many people being lazy and not throwing away their trash. Also when Iʻm swimming in the ocean I always see at least one piece of plastic that is floating in the water, waiting for a turtle to eat it. Although it may only be one piece of plastic, this one piece of plastic can easily kill a turtle. It is very important to be aware of how pollution affects the ocean. If everyone would just take their trash and put it in the trash can, then its a start to bringing ocean pollution to an end. 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? Learning about colonization and globalization has given me a new perspective on how raising awareness of ocean pollution is important. It also gives me a new perspective on how it's important to gain more information about our topic locally and globally. As a group, our focus is to really spread the word about why and how ocean pollution is important. Which why my main focus is to take in more knowledge about this issue so that I can share the knowledge with my friends, family, and classmates.
