In American Samoa I would start a restaurant called Local Foods that sells natural desserts and drinks. The island’s agricultural products such as bananas, coconuts, vegetables, papayas, etc. will be found in most of the food and drinks like juices. The business will mostly be centered around the residents on American Samoa. My business would be successful on the island of American Samoa because of the GDP per person and the climate.
One reason my business will be successful is because of the GDP per person. According to the CIA World Factbook and bea.gov, the GDP per person in American Samoa is $8,000. The GDP per person of $8,000 is not too low for an average person. Knowing this information, my business will choose prices that are not too expensive,but instead convenient for customers in American Samoa. The more convenient the prices are, the more customers my business will attract.My business will also be successful because in American Samoa because of the climate. According to the

Natural resources can be expensive, and money is pivotal to this business. A solution to this problem is growing our own resources, this will bring the spending of money down and help the business thrive. We can use the land our restaurant is built on to build a tiny garden behind the building. Another problem my business might face is with the rate of growing our own resources for the food. Growing plants like fruits and vegetables can take a while, and might be too slow for the customer’s orders. If the resources don’t grow fast enough then the customers won’t be able to get their food or drinks, which is not good customers service. A solution to this is to buy some of the food resources from other stores, but when the restaurant grown resources are ready to be used, we will use them instead. The resources bought will be a backup to my business’s growing resources so we always have enough to
American Hawaii Hawaii is known for its beautiful beaches, it’s nice year-round weather, and its culture. Thousands of vacationers come to Hawaii each year to get away from the stressful city and relax. But do they know how cruel the Americans were to the natives? Do they know how we corrupted their culture and their religion? Do they know how Hawaii really became a state? Probably not. When most people think of Hawaii, they think of happy Hawaiian babes hula dancing and palm trees swaying in the warm breeze. Hawaii has still held on to many of their traditions although they were invaded by Americans. But you have to go to a museum to see their old way of life. Hawaii is now populated mostly by Americans.
Describe the interaction between the two leadership groups. What behaviors of the American representatives could create conflict with the Samoan leaders? Are there similarities from this meeting and the Blue Horizon Cruise simulation meeting?

This paper will discuss the similarities and differences between the Oceanic society of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and the society of the United States. First I will talk about the similarities and then I will finish off with the differences, all of which will be based on factual information that I have gathered both, from the book and the mainstream media. Then I will finish by coming to a conclusion to an opinion I have and whether the government systems are more similar or different.

One of the most difficult issues that arises when two cultures collide is how to address the concept of assimilation. One of the questions that has been asked throughout our nation’s history is whether or not the Native Americans would do well to assimilate into the “American mainstream." Quite frankly, I don’t think we, as non-Native Americans, have the right to propose an answer to this question. The Native Americans themselves are only ones who should be able to decide the future of their people’s tradition and culture. They are human beings with the capacity to think logically and make their own decisions. At this point, our role as a nation is to be supportive of them, whether they choose to assimilate or not. It is our responsibility
The United States gained control of the island of Puerto Rico as a result of the Spanish American war in 1898, claiming its intention to "free" the island from Spanish colonialism. When the United States took possession of the island, Puerto Rico became merely that, a controlled possession given little or insignificant power in many facets of Puerto Rican life. In a matter of a few months, Puerto Rico moved from being a Spanish possession to an American one, and this changing of hands had many implications on the status of Puerto Rico, politically economically, and socially.

In Hawaii there are many things that bring happiness to mind such as the extravagant smells, not to mention the beautiful sights, and most of all the spectacular taste in the exquisite food they have in Hawaii.
The people of Hawaii and other Pacific Island Nation groups have experienced great injustice from their colonial powers and the acts of imperialism. Lands were seized, cultural practices banned, language lost, and people were even forced to move away from their homes for the purpose of bomb testing. The United States and other countries abroad sent out representatives to do their work for them; in return their future actions would be justified in describing the Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders as savages that need to have wider powers enforced upon them; thus resulting in a tangled web of political mythologies.
American Samoa would be a perfect location for an open market. The weather is warm and tropical with an average temperature of 87 degrees fahrenheit. American Samoa has a population of 54,157 people. I can set up my market anywhere that seems like a good location. My open market can sell goods grown locally on the island or import goods that most likely haven’t been owned by local people such as raw materials like sugar and salt etc.

Through it, people were given a look at a society not affected by the problems of 20th century industrial America. She illustrated a picture of a society where love was available for the asking and crime was dealt with by exchanging a few mats. This book helps one to realize the large role played by social environment. One of Mead’s biggest challenges was probably the fact that her fieldwork was done entirely in the Samoan language. In Samoa, few, if any natives spoke English.
America is considered a melting pot of different ethnic groups. By today’s standard, “American culture” is the result of a variety of races integrating their own cultural beliefs into American society. Throughout the years, the United States has seen a massive increase of people migrating from Asian countries; “they make up 3.6 percent of the U.S. population, a 199 percent increase from 1980 when they constituted only 1.5 percent of the population” (Ng). Like other immigrants, Asians come here in order to seek a better life and experience civil liberties. According to statistics, “Filipino Americans today make up the second largest Asian Pacific American (APA) group in the country” (Aquino). Filipinos alongside
Samoan culture plays a large part in the lives of those with Samoan heritage. Samoan culture is kept strong in a Samoan house hold by keeping the culture alive. This is done by keeping family unity, the art of traditional tattooing, and eating traditional foods and cooking traditional ways.
