The Industrial age and the Revolutions that occur impacts my Kahiau Project topic, poverty, greatly through the study of history. In the France, it was seen that lower classes were treated more harsh and poorly than the higher classes. This is a major factor in the starting of the French Revolution. The king put taxes on everything the poor had and paid for. There is also a mentality that the Europeans had which was they are better than everyone else, therefore they deserve more. We can see this globally today because those who live in poverty are highly frowned upon, especially those whom are homeless. Those of the higher class usually do not feel like they need to help because it is not their problem. I feel like these ideas are still alive today and will take a long time to diminish. Understanding these things as well as knowing or cultural history can help us to navigate for a solution of these problems here in Hawaiʻi. When we are able to understand the root causes of these problems that have occurred within our cultural history, we can use that information to create solutions to prevent it from occurring again. For example, a lot of poverty that has happened to us in Hawaiʻi was caused by the introduction of the missionaries. Slowly, they took away our land, our culture, our language, and our traditions. We as kānaka were poor in spirit and culture. References: Akana, H. M. (2020b). FL (4) French Revolution [Slides].
