Even though the topics of the Industrial Revolution and French Revolution are from a bygone era, we can see that the issues formed from them are very similar to what is happening right now in our current era. In the Industrial Revolution, it allowed for great innovations, yes, but it also caused more major problems as well as it gave poor working conditions and minimum pay for the workers. The French Revolution was the cause of poor treatment and neglect to the lower class and commoners of the French Empire. This neglect led to violent protests and eventually a revolution that overthrew the current government at the time. These topics although from a different era have problems that we even see at home in our own state. In the past 3 years or more Native Hawaiians have been seen on the mage stage due to neglect of the management of sacred lands by the state for the sake of innovations in science. This way of thinking has caused unrest within major communities of Hawaiian descent. Also with the state's major expensive livings it is hard for locals to just scrape by with decent pay making poverty a major issue in our modernized society. It also affects my Kahiau Project of Clean and Affordable energy because if we find a solution to clean affordable energy the jobs to work those solution must have good pay and working conditions for the workers as well as having good impact to those who live near the solutions. I think that we can use these as stepping stones to help us find a solution that has plighted our people for a very long time. We can use the information that people of other regions have dealt with and find our own way to solve the issue. Then we can add in our own values of culture and ideals like how the protests in recent years have been in a more knowledgeable way and non-violent to try and find a solution. An example could be to gain more power and influence within the state government so that we can have more control over what goes within our lands. However, we must be mindful that we are not the only ethnicity within our lands now and must find a way to also compromise and co-exist with the others as well so that we can all benefit from our solutions.
