Now, in 2020 with the current Covid19 situation does the Cold War ideas and the threat of a WW3 impact us at all? If so, how?
In my opinion, yes, with the current Covid19 situation, the Cold War ideas, and the threat of a WW3 does impact us. I feel as if this virus was purposeful. I strongly disagree that this started with an animal but was man-made. I feel like this was just the beginning of WW3. We were already threatened, and this in itself is already killing off our population by a great amount. I strongly feel like this virus was created to kill us off slowly, not by war, but silently as if it was a normal thing. “The single best threat to mans continued dominance on the planet is the virus” - Joshua Lederberg How do you think our work with the Kahiau project has prepared us in some ways for this new way of doing life in the Covid19 environment? I feel like our Kahiau project kind of prepared us and opened our eyes to poverty and how to stay out of it. If we work and make money or grow and catch our own food, we wont need to worry and weʻll be prepared for whatʻs to come. Our Kahiau project not only taught us that but encouraged it and itʻs a helpful thing now during this pandemic so that weʻre still active but not out in public alongside everyone else putting ourselves at risk.

Reflecting back on the World War 1 & 2 Scientific Advancements made in the name of Technology, was the cost to humanity worth the gain? Explain with evidence from the lecture (cite sources in APA Citations)
In my opinion, it wasn’t worth the gain. Reflecting back towards our Kahiau Project, we notice the rise in poverty not only because of money but its being in wars like these that leave people in critical condition and lose their homes. Yes, I feel like it was worth the gain in new technology-wise, but for humanity no not really. Now if you reflect on Hawaii, weʻre affected as a place of testing for bombs or anything really on Kahoʻolawe. They say these weapons are gone but really there are bombs still there in hiding that we just can’t see or know of. How has / do these advancements continue to impact our modern society here in Moananuiākea & Hawaiʻi? As a modern kānaka leader, do you think that the cost to our lāhui, our ʻāina, our ʻohana is worth the gain to “society”? Explain and defend your opinion with evidence from the lecture or elsewhere (Verbally cite your sources & cite your sources in your post using APA Citations) Again like I said before, it affects Hawaii because weʻre a base of testing. Not only that but they illegally overthrew us and moved their military here as an extension of the US. If you look at it, the Pearl Harbor bombing dealing with Japan would have never happened if we weren’t overthrown by the US, so overall Hawaii will always be affected by the USʻs doings. I feel like our lāhui, ʻāina, and ʻohana is most definitely not worth the gain to “society”! What did we ever do to deserve this? Our queen, as well as Kalākaua, were humble and generous to everyone they met, seeing that weʻve made friends with Britain and the US and received many gifts. I still don’t get why we out of all people were chosen to be treated the way were and still are. We still aren’t treated right seeing with the Maunakea movement and our idiot of a governor cant even listen to his people. Don’t get me wrong weʻre thankful that you see our place as such a wonderful to build your telescope, but will we take it? No, not on sacred land. I feel like everything that happens to Hawaiʻi isn’t fair and “society” shouldn’t have control over our people and invade our land. Explain how (In what ways) new technologies continued to play a large part in WW2? How did these new technologies continue to impact Hawaiʻi today?
New technology was the cause to make things worse. If it weren’t for new technology, gun powder and such wouldn’t have been so bad. New technology brought both good and bad things. New technology also impacts Hawaiʻi today because weʻre dependent on other places for our things and without our new technologies it wouldn’t be possible. New technology was even given to Hawaiʻi before the White House had it. We were always reliant or buddy buddy with others so we were given things before special people and places were even given them. Connecting with your Kahiau Project, how does the factors, causes, and impacts of World War (1, 2 or a pending 3rd) continue to play a part in your Kahiau project issue? Give examples connecting to the lecture or examples of what could possibly happen in the event of WW3? World War 1 and 2 continue to play a big role in our Kahiau project. Many of those injured have no money to pay for the health and care for themselves so they’re left with nothing. These wars caused people to be so traumatized that they don’t feel comfortable or theyʻre left disfigured. In the event of World War 3, new technology can be a way of communication but also a way to gain information and be taken down easily. World War 3 could cause many to go in a complete panic or leave them broke because of the fact that theyʻll keep buying things in preparation for whatʻs to come and then in the end theyʻll have nothing Explain how (In what ways) was the Treaty of Versailles the most important political document of the 20th Century?
The treaty of Versailles happened in June of 1919. Itʻs considered as the most important political document of the 20th Century because it helped stop WWI. It was a treaty that brought peace among many and saved many lives. The treaty required Germany to disarm, make ample territorial concessions, and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers. How it happened was that the peace document was signed at the end of World War I by the Allied and associated powers and by Germany in the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles and France. How did the Treaty of Versailles set up the world for War the 2nd time and explain how the treaty impacted geography & especially the Pacific & Hawaiʻi? Treaty of Versailles set up the world for War the 2nd time by impacting many areas, especially and personally the Pacific Islands. Being in the middle of the Pacific, weʻve basically become a pit stop. We are great for being exactly in the middle to get in contact with those around us, but itʻs also very easy to become a target, which we have. All our innocent people of Hawaii are forever in danger but we have no say in it. We were illegally overthrown and our lands were taken and occupied basically as a testing stop. Did the world learn the lesson of the War to End all Wars? Where/How do we see the impacts of the The Great War in our Kahiau Project today?
Apparently we have not learned the lesson of the War to End All Wars because our government and society in general somehow finds a way to put us in more trouble, for example, the supposed World War III with Iran and having arguments within the community about nonsense stuff. We can see the impacts of these things such as The Great War in our Kahiau projects because these things cost many to lose their lives and homes as well leaving them with nothing. Although these wars caused a great growth in New Resources, New Energies, and even a Scientific Revolution & Inventions, these wars once again caused many losts and fails. Those who took part in those wars did suffer much greatness and some are living without homes leaving it to effect our Kahiau Project of poverty and all the growth in New technology is as well leaving some without homes due to the costs. Do you agree that modern world is indeed a victim of the Malthusian Flux? If so, explain How? If not, explain why? I believe that the modern world is indeed a victim of the Malthusian Flux. The Malthusian Flux talks about overpopulations and the supply of the land being fixed and that this supply is small relative to the population. When talking about the Malthusian Flux, it comes across as changing lifestyles to fit the population and to keep it small. The Malthusian Flux applied very well to countries in Europe where these conditions were met. On the other hand, I feel like we in modern-day have forgotten much about it and paid the Malthusian Flux no mind. A big few people have large families and seeing how the population has grown, really shows that it doesn’t affect the modern world very much. It did affect their time, but currently, as we progress in time and technology, we grow and so does our species. Hawaii is a clear example of overpopulation throughout the years noticing the growth in poverty and growth in homes built on this island.
Whoʻs contribution to society & quote greatly impacts your Kahiau Project topic? “To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them” It impacts it because he was into separation of power and society being divided based on monarchy and such so it really shows that he wouldn’t put care among those in poverty. Theorist 2: Rene Descartes “It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well” Did medicine practice so it contributes to our health now and the growth of our history to better society. His medicine practice and research could maybe even impact the care for those in poverty. Whoʻs quote closely aligns to your personal values as a leader? Theorist 1: Denis Diderot “No man has received from nature the right to command his fellow human beings.” The fact that he opposed slavery really comes to mind as a great leader to treat your people equally and to treat them as they should be treated, not as if theyʻre your slaves and you could control them. Theorist 2: Adam Smith “The real tragedy of the poor is the poverty of their aspirations.” He believes that we should focus ourselves around having a “hard-working” mentality and that in order to stay up you must do your part and work and I feel that as a leader you must have that trait too, to have the ambition to achieve something instead of thinking in a poor and poverty mentality. Reflecting back on your knowledge of your Kahiau Project Topic, the UN Sustainable Goals, and the purpose and intent of the Kahiau Project to learn about and apply your own leadership values to a real-world problem in our community…answer the following reflection:
As a group, we planned to make care packages for kids and adults that are in need for Christmas. We intended to fill them with hygienic items and helpful necessities. Unfortunately, Moani ended up getting sick and we couldn’t complete the project. Additionally, we all were busy as well. In conclusion, our project idea itself was well and properly thought out. If we could have completed it, I feel like it wouldʻve been very successful. What could’ve been better was if we actually were able to do it. If everything aligned right and things worked out then our project would’ve had a great turn out. I feel like my understanding of poverty and other UN issues of humanity are improving. With each class, my knowledge is growing and Iʻm learning new things that are worldwide as well as how to be a good leader and improve some poor decisions. I always tend to reflect back on what we learned and remind myself not to make the same mistakes but to learn from them. In our Kahiau project, we planned to apply that to what we were going to do by helping out those in need instead of leaving them to fend for themselves, sometimes its good to have a helping hand and we planned to be just that. |
