The lasting effects of the Industrial age and the French Revolution play a bigger role in solving current problems than many people realize. The prospect of Marxism, which Karl Marx proposed during the industrial revolution, was “the idea that society is at war with itself”. A battle of ideals, social standing, and many more aspects. Such a concept was seen to be true in events like the French Revolution. In which the conflict was between the rich and the poor and caused by the massive gap between the two social standings. This resulted in the poor overthrowing the rich who had abused their power and replacing their old systems. These events could easily be linked to some modern times as during both the French revolution and now, these societies experienced: political dichotomy, disease, fear, inequality, the risk of a failing economy, and people standing in opposition of their own government. Furthermore, much like what Marx proposed during the industrial revolution, we have seen the demand for equality become ever more present. This leads us towards the overall idea of communism that focuses on equal opportunity and community. Greatly contrasting Americaʻs own Capatalist system that encourages that exploitation of others, and creates social divide. Nonetheless, both systems can often result in corruption. But in such trying times, knowing how these different systems shape our society can make a world of a difference when proposing ideas, implementing new systems, and trying to make our kahiau projects effective. Through our understanding of history and the different ways in which things like language, culture, and activism have been used to make a difference in communities around the world. We are able to build upon and focus our targeted issues to people of all origins. By understanding the history of a people and their strife, we can press the importance of even bigger issues, spread and explore cultures that can make a difference, while taking the time to understand new and effective ways to implement our proposed kahiau projects. My project and focus is around improving the quality of education by standardizing a class that can help prepare students for modern issues while giving them the power to advocate for change in ways that they feel is meaningful. As someone who grew up in Hawaii, has already been involved in two classes that do this very thing, and strongly believes in the power of education. I think that by starting here in Hawaii, the center of the pacific and a hot spot for travelers as it is known as paradise, we could use our central location and image to empower our kahiau projects and messages. Not only exploring what we want change in, but starting here in our own communities to make a difference. APA Citations:
