It was said that the The Great War would end all wars, but it wasn't true. Instead, that war has been the cause of many nations going into battle. This certain battle killed many people and left a lot of wounds too. In fact A major player in the Great War was the national governments because they held so many arguments to their people on why to sacrifice their new resources and not be so greedy with it. Certain nations needed to learn how to keep foreign affairs and keep their power before another nation kicks in and takes control. Some new technologies or new inventions that arose as a result of the scientific revolution that impacted the Great War were tanks, automated machines, guns, Gatling guns, trench warfare strategies, submarines, and chemical warfare. Some new technologies continued to be utilized today that impact our modern warfare for instance, improved machine guns, artillery, barbed wire, and ships. These new technologies have about 15 million people killed and 21 million wounded. Going back to the War to end all wars, it has just created more wars for the future generations or nations and also said to be that wars are good for nations. This impacts our Kahiau project because as more nations go to war, there is always a bad end to it where poverty increases, such as exchanging people or slaves, not affording houses or food. Or affording a job. Winning or losing a battle puts a whole nation at stake because they lose everything they own and the percentage of poverty to increase is quite high.
I agree that our world is a victim of the Malthusian flux theory because as we define this certain theory it states that the population tends to increase at a faster rate than its means of subsistence and that unless it is checked by moral restraint or disaster. For example diseases, famine, or war Widespread poverty and degradation inevitable result. This Malthusian also worries that people fear the consequence from an overcrowded planet which means like they have to work so much harder to receive their food or stay healthy before they catch a disease.
For our community service we planned to tend to ill kids and their families by raising awareness, and giving our free time to helping the children. With the HUGS organization, they have planned days for volunteers to come and play with the children who need all around care. Each volunteer is assigned a “buddy” for the night event where we are in charge of a sick child and we get to entertain them for the time being, giving their parents a break. In order to have the opportunity to be responsible for a child during the event, we needed training to understand the rules. We had an appointment to take a visit to the official HUGS House where we sat through a presentation that went through the rules and protocol for our community service event. Whether it was from dress code, to rules about how to care for the child, or watch the child, we are now prepared. As of now, we have passed training and are waiting for the event day that was planned. One thing that went well while visiting the HUGS home was home much information we gained. We learned all about the organization and how they help these families with seriously ill children. It was very important for us to go to the training because we are not qualified to work with the children. It went well when we were answering the questions Alan asked us. One thing that could have gone better was we could have asked more questions. There was a lot of information for us to obtain. We could have made better connections with other people if we were to ask deeper questions. This was such a great opportunity that we all got to meet the one in charge at the HUGS home. Yes my understanding of other UN issues of humanity is improving. It is improving because I got insight on the thing that we are doing. Going to the HUGS home showed he how much having a sick child takes out of them. When their child is ill, it takes lots of determination, money, and time to help them get better. The amount of money it takes, a lot of times drives the family to poverty. Our leadership skills expanded because it took leadership to reach out to find an organization to serve. It also took us to come together as a group and put something together on our own time. For example, on the last day of 1st semester we all went to the training session and we had to carry ourselves different. We were representing Kamehameha Schools so we all needed to focus even though there was nobody there to tell us to. |
