The top three hotspots of the cold war were Vietnam, Korea, and China. Also known as the “Forgotten War” because historians refer to it so rarely, and most Americans donʻt remember it, the Korean War was a hot war purely related to the Cold War. By 1950, Europe was divided by an “Iron Curtain”, while in Asia, Chinaʻs government system was communism. This ideal goes against Free Market Capitalism which is the economy that America is based upon. Communist North Korea and China trying to expand into South Korea. The US and our allies in the UN tried to stop them. Over two million people were killed in the process with little change in the actual border. American interest soon focused on Vietnam, where the spread of Chinese communism had to be halted. The Americans first used the french as proxies while the Soviets used the Vietminh. Later on, the Americans were directly involved while the Soviets used North Vietnam as proxies. The Paris Peace Accords were signed in 1973 by the governments of North Vietnam, and the United States, as well as the Provisional Revolutionary Government that represented South Vietnamese revolutionaries. The intent was to establish peace in Vietnam and an end to the Vietnam War. The accords ended direct U.S military involvement and temporarily ended the war. The negotiations that led to the accord began in 1968 and were subject to various lengthy delays. Nixon soon resigned as a result of the watergate scandal. Democratic majority in Congress. President Ford was not able to come through with american promise to back South Vietnam democracy. Communist North Vietnamese blazed their way towards Saigon and Renamed it to Ho Chi Minh City under the dictatorship of Ho Chi Minh.
The WW1 and the War to End all Wars didnʻt really end. This event happened in past history. It was seen in the Armistice and the Treaty of Versailles. When we re-think about the ideas perpetuated in Hawaiina natie ʻike, on the Mauna, and through the practices of Mālama Honua, it lines up better with the ideals of Communism/Socialism. This lines up better with the ideals of Communism/Socialism because the government believes that they have ownership of the Mauna along with many other resources that could be found in Hawaii. They believe they own the Mauna, therefore they could build and construct anything on it. They display the same attitude towards Sherwoods. Although they realize Sherwoods is considered as ancestral burial grounds of our hawaiian ancestors, they still choose to build a park. The government believe they are in charge of everything that is discovered throughout the hawaiian islands. They choose whether or not the societiesʻ actions are appropriate or not. The government enforces many laws, but bends them if it interferes with their occasions.

The top three WW2 tech that assisted in ending WW2 and winning the war for the Allies and the United States was the T34 tank, M1 garand rifle, and the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb was a bomb that helped contribute to United States nuclear warfare. When Germany realized that the U.S discovered the atomic bomb, they surrendered. This resulted in the U.S bombing Japan with the fat man and little boy atomic bombs. The M1 garand rifle was a semi automatic rifle that was primarily used by the United States soldiers in World War 2. This weapon appears in Modern Wars that the United States has today. The T34 tank was new technology created by the Soviet Union that helped shift the dominance between them and the Germans. These tanks were created to take out the German panzer tanks. This helped the Allies and United States to take control of WW2. These weapons helped shift and transfer the dominance between the countries throughout WW2.
The ethical atrocities that arise from the use of WW2 technology show good leadership actions on the part of the United States because they helped influence other countries as well as themselves to prevent Germany from performing anymore atrocities that will lead to a more massive genocide population. The United States used their new technology for Germany to stop their oppression against the Jews, Polish, and other races. However, many have to go through the bad to do the good. The United States took over islands located in the Pacific and took them over as a military station as well as a frontline to protect their motherland. The United States also used the Pacific as a place to test their military weapons such as nuclear bombs. These tests affected many people. It affected their land and caused it to be inhabitable. They took places such as Guam, Samoa, and Hawaii. Not only did they use them as a place for military purposes, but they also saw it as a place for new resources. They took resources from the island, and were also able to make it a place for vacation. I agree that the modern world is indeed a victim of the Malthusian Flux. It is through all aspects of society. It is seen through economics, poverty, and more. It is also seen through hunger as well. The malthusian flux theory impacts or plays a part in perpetuating the problem in my Kahiau challenge because as population, colonization, and economies increase, less resources will be available for families and communities. The population continues to increase, and food begins to become scarce for families. Our government attempts to trade new resources to other countries to receive necessities in return. They exchange resources to gain more power and advance themselves in different fields. However in difficult times, the cost of the resource increases and soon many families won’t be able to afford it. Soon only higher classes in society will be able to afford to feed their families. As a result, the poor and unfortunate starve and possibly pass away.
There is a variety of leadership skills that are necessary to address and execute both the big picture and the small picture. One leadership skill that is needed is cooperation. The speaker needs to learn how to communicate with the audience. He must be able to address his idea and the problem to the crowd. The speaker must be able to get his point across to them accurately without any confusion or questioning. The speaker must be able to carry respect and deference. This is needed to notify the crowd that this issue is a real problem. The audience needs to understand that this problem is a big factor that kills people throughout the world. For example, hunger is seen in countries in Africa, Korea, and even here in Hawaii. Another leadership skill that is needed is intelligence. The speaker must know what he is talking about. To make the crowd understand, he must support with facts and evidence. He must be able to address his problem by siting accurate information.
What impacted my leadership growth the most this semester was learning about facts and statistics within my group’s Kahiau Project. Knowing people that are less fortunate than you humbles me and drives me to becoming more appreciative throughout the day. Coming up with ways to solve World Wide problems within your community allows us humans to become sympathetic for others. Being able to help others brings a reward to us and helps boost our potential of becoming better in all we do. Working with others to reach a common also drives you to becoming better each day. What affects my motivation to strive for excellence in this class at any point last semester was learning the history of the world. Learning about the wars and violence countries went through to survive gives gratitude that we weren’t born in that time. Being able to read about what happened throughout history increases my curiosity to learn new things. It strives me to excel in this class everyday.
The plan for the community service was to attend a food drive for non profit organization such as Meals on Wheels. This non-profit is to help deliver meals to elderly people who do not have the ability to make or get their own meals by themselves. What ended up happening with the planned community service over the winter break was it was rearranged due to everyone’s busy schedule. Nothing really went well because we didnʻt get to do it. What could have gone better for the project was to actually come together as a group and do what was planned. However, due to each of our different schedules we werenʻt able to find a day that would allow us to carry out our plan. Yes, because although we were not able to actually do the community service, making the plan itself informed us about what non-profits such as Meals on Wheels do to help people who deal with hunger. We also learned more of the seriousness of this issue and also what are some ways we would be able to help. Our connection/application of leadership skills is expanding as a result of what we’re doing in the Kahiau Project because we’ve made a plan on how we could help our communities through acts of kindness. However, it couldn’t be executed because of everyone’s busy schedules during the winter break. |
