Postcolonial scholars examine and ultimately seek to undo the historical structures that originally created, maintained and continue to reproduces the oppression of the colonial experience. Otherness, the term introduced by Edward Said, pointed out that non-western cultures are seen as object for study. Seeing from the submissive cultures, power dynamic of imperialism is dominant. Western looks and explains things in western way. However, another essential theme in post-colonialism is hybridity which is the space between two cultures.
The observatories atop Mauna Kea are the current controversial issue in Hawaii. Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) which was planned for Mauna Kea became a battle between scientists and Hawaiian activists. From Post-colonialism
The Thirty Meter Telescope was a project finally certified designed in the year of 2012 with intentions for it to be the world’s largest telescope as well as the largest telescope amongst all the existing telescopes on Mauna Kea, Hilo. This concept for a social action paper was selected because the subject alone caused arguments and controversies between the Board of Land and Natural Resources and the Native Hawaiians
After overthrowing the Queen, the Committee of Safety set up a provisional government(The Overthrow of the Monarchy). This shows that they didn’t really care for the greater cause and only for themselves. This act didn’t really change much and the Committee of Safety is trying to stabilize their position by increase their power with their own government. After hearing that James Blount is telling them to give up power, the provisional government surrounded him. They later also made the Republic of Hawai`i to refuse giving up power with a blaming to Minister Stevens, pushing all the responsibility to him. The Committee of Safety will do many illegal and corrupt things for power. The main reason of why people support the overthrow is for economy benefits, which will help Hawai`i in advance, but Hawaiians aren’t doing great, so then the economy benefit doesn’t matter that much
Jamie Ford’s book "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet," is a story about the experiences and hardships that Japanese-Americans suffered during World War II. The protagonist Henry, a twelve-year old Chinese-American boy at the time of the war, reacted with more than just curiosity. The story opens with the news that belongings of several families who were interned is more than just curiosity; he had a deep personal connection to the events of the past and the story uncovers his memories. Henry had done a good job of burying his forgotten dreams, much like the artifacts found in the basement of the Panama Hotel. But just as in real life, when people try to ignore past events, the truth that lies in their heart cannot be denied. Sometimes, it can be something simple, like a parasol, to unlock those truths, but in Hotel, certain objects unlock the symbolism of life itself. Objects are powerful, as they represent not only moments in time, but people 's emotions, motivations, and ultimately, their identity.
Shannon Hall wrote Hawaii’s Telescope Controversy Is the Latest in a Long History of Land-Ownership Battles to highlight the ethics issue surrounding the use of a sacred location to further science. The bases of this ethics issue begins in the 1950-1970, when the pursuit of the Moon, technology and science trumped nearly all other concerns. During this time period allocations of property were leased to astronomers in areas where locals had very little say. This occurred on the peak of the largest mountain in the world, Mauna Kea. This mountain starts at the bottom of the ocean floor and rises a staggering 33,500 ft, nearly a mile taller than Mt.Everest. The peak of the mountain is a prime location for the most advanced telescopes in the world.
In Driscolls’s lab students were researching on the nervous system of the aging Caenorhabditis elegans, and also students were trying to sprout the neurite and deterioration of the synapse. C. elegans is a round worm which is an effective model for investigation of the rationed systems that adjust sound maturing. Students has reported that maturing C. elegans neurons can display novel neurite outgrowth from dendrites and from somata. New outgrowths can be exceedingly pervasive in maturing touch receptor neurons, with mitochondria regularly situated at branch locales. Diverse neurons display particular sorts of outgrowth, even with a solitary neuronal class. Be that as it may, not all neurons display morphological change with age, showing
According to the information present in the speech given by a man named, Sanford J Dole, the Americans imperializing Hawai’i was a constructive motion. This is due to the fact that throughout the speech, Dole informs his audience on the benefits both the Hawaiians and Hawai’i would gain through Hawai’i being a territory of the United States(US). The speech was given on June 10th, 1900, at Iolani Palace, after Dole was elected to be the governor of the Territory of Hawai’i. As the speech is an original document, it is a primary source. Based on the information provided in the speech, the message Dole is trying to convey is that the day Hawai’i became a territory of the US, is one of the most important days in Hawaiian history. This is because
The Overthrow was when the United State troops illegally went on Hawaiian soil and brought 14,000 rounds of ammunition, which resulted in the Hawaii losing control of their country. The U.S minister, Stevens was responsible for illegally surrounding the palace and for threatening to kill the Queen and destroy the palace if not signing a contract to abdicate her from the throne. The overthrow was unjustified because the Annexationists accused Queen Lili‘uokalani of plotting against the government because she wanted to write a new constitution. The reason the Annexationists found out was because the Queen told the cabinet her plan to change the constitution, which resulted in a leak of information.
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.
A dispute has come up between the United States and the tropical islands of Hawaii. Is
Hawaii’s annexation, was it legal and fair to the natives of the island? The proposal that Hawaii reached Statehood by a ‘just’ manner has been inaccurate and presents a false interpretation of the facts. Though seized through the era of imperialism, Hawaii remained as one of the few territories unclaimed and consequently was seized swiftly. The eventual statehood of Hawaii was produced with wrongful acts because of imperial greed. The annexation of Hawaii is an unjust act because of the circumstances surrounding the illegal annexation, clear wishes of the natives, and unlawful gain of territory.
After the European influence upon indigenous Hawaiian culture, “Hawaiians radically reinterpreted and transformed their culture… part of this transformation was the abandonment of the kapu system in 1819.” The meaning of the organization of architecture no longer reflects upon ideology of the Hawaiians, but the adaptation of more technological advanced living space. As a result, “many temples were dismantled or destroyed, leaving only he foundation stones” (Ladegoged, #).

Hi Elaine, thank you. As the number and complexity of surgical cases being handled by the surgical nurses increases, responding to all surgeon and PAs messages will NOT end up in a priority workload leading to delay on the most needed PAs related response (request for refill of pain meds, inquiry related to follow-up post-surgery care). I do recommend that filtering PA messages be done by a program support or again messages directed to PAs be received directly by the PAs. This will increase response time for a patient concern (by removing the middle person) and patient satisfaction.
The annexation of Hawaii was an important event in the history of the world. It is still not easy for the Hawaiians to accept the fact that America had taken over a land 2500 miles away from the West Coast. In 1917 Hawaii was considered the 50th state supported by the islanders after a plebiscite. Queen Lydia Kamakaeha Liliuokalani was overthrown because of the support of the United States army as well as naval forces to a group of businessmen belonging to the sugar and pineapple industry. The Armed forces of the United States were ordered to provide this support on the directives of the minister of the United States to Hawaii. In reality they were missionaries who had been welcomed for several years by the
Just the other day, we learned about the annexation of Hawaii in our history class. I started to think a little too much about the whole situation with the United States. I came up with this theory that MAYBE Hawaii is going to overthrow the U.S. government just as we did to their Queen Liliuokalani in 1893. My theory is strengthened by the fact that Hillary Clinton, in the recent U.S. election, received Hawaii’s four electoral votes. This could possibly prove that Hawaii wants the U.S. to have a woman president and then overthrow us. We overthrew Hawaii’s government when they were under a woman’s power, thus they would want to do the same. I believe I am very analytical because I love analyzing and creating theories, I lie in bed and think about life, and I enjoy persuading other people into analyzing my ideas and theories.
