Compare And Contrast Hawaii Culture

In my opinion, reading 1 (Hawaii: The Land of Many) is more informative and useful for a person who knows nothing about the sugar plantations in Hawaii in the 1800s. I would suggest using reading 1 because it talks about the entire history, as opposed to reading 2 which talks about the shutting down of the plantations today. This reading teaches the reader about the sugar plantations and the life of the laborers that worked on these sugar plantations. Reading 1 states that the sugar industry boomed in the 1800s which caused the need of plantation workers. They had recruits different countries that lived on the plantation. Laborers had to sign a contract saying they would work for a certain amount of time. Plantation supervisors whipped those

Hawaii, being the crossroad of the Pacific, welcomes many visitors and new residents to its shores. The movement of population into Hawaii also brings a wealth of cultural diversity to people of Hawaii. With this movement, immigrants are finding it difficult to access the U.S. healthcare system. In addition, the federal, state, and local government and private healthcare facilities are also finding it difficult to provide healthcare to these minority groups. Two common reasons that prevent minorities from receiving adequate healthcare are the lack of effective communication between the patient and healthcare provider, and the healthcare provider's lack of understanding of the minority's culture and beliefs.

One day, I wound vines together and went to Kama and said, "I don't know a lot about native culture, but I love this group." As I placed the maile lei around his neck, he said, “Being native isn’t about race, it's about attitude. You may not be Hawaiian, but you are Hawaiian in your heart." I realized sensitivity and respect goes a long way. A gesture of friendship overcame barriers. I no longer feared my heritage or theirs. I said to my friend, “Mahalo me ke aloha

Underwater, I can’t breath, I can’t see, my lungs are burning. Welcome to Hawaii, one of the most desired vacation spots. Everything is gorgeous, the weather is perfect, the landscape is spectacular, and the Ocean is breathtaking, especially in the inside. Under the sea, which is supposedly the best according to Sebastian. He could not be more wrong, at least in my case. Unless the top sight everyone is dying to see is sand shooting at speeds that would get it a ticket or the beautiful salt water that is forcing itself into both eyes. How did I get to this point, struggling to survive, hoping the Ocean gets tired of me so I can take a breath and pray that it has enough mercy to leave me where I have the strength to swim to shore where my

Hawaii has always been a paradise destination for me, but it was only until recently that I discovered just how badly I wanted to go and experience the culture of Hawaii and all it has to offer. After researching each island and its unique qualities, I concluded that I would stay in the city of Honolulu on the island of Oahu. With it being the most populous city and being described as the main gateway to Hawaii I knew it was my best chance for learning about The Hawaiian culture. Honolulu has great dining, nightlife, and numerous famous tourist attractions, such as Diamond Head and Pearl Harbor. When my friends and family would talk about their trips to Hawaii, they always mentioned going to a luau. As I would listen to them talk I would think, “What better way to learn about the traditions of Hawaii than by going to a

“New Zealand 's Māori culture is an integral part of Kiwi life and adds a unique, dynamic experience for visitors...Find out where to experience Māori culture by choosing your area of interest in the right-hand menu.” (100% Pure New Zealand). Most top search results for “Maori Culture” are for attractions, guided tours, and similar spectacles.

This report discusses the impact the Maori population had on New Zealand. Starting from the 1600 till now, the Maori population has evolved in New Zealand. They were founders of the Island after which the English men came to actually find New Zealand and signing of the treaty and their interactions with the Europeans.

These interactions further promoted the island being annexed by the Europeans and having more and more settlers come in. Unlike many other countries, there is still a significant amount of Maori population residing in New Zealand.
