Fiji Influence On Society

History is one of the classes that I’ve always put to the side. Because, between the names, dates and different facts, and stories. It just has never been I think relatable to me. Therefore, I end up losing interest on the class. But, found myself relating to the different topics. I think the main focus on the Native Americans, seeing their suffering, and struggles. Which I can relate to up to a certain point as a minority, made me want to be a part of the discussions, I wanted to put my “two cents in” making it easy to understand the different topics, and giving me a connection to the rest of the class.

Kotobalavu Jioji, The Fiji times, Saturday, July 04, 2015.p.1 .some upbringing facts about the writer Jioji Kotobalavu was Fiji civil servant. He was the Main Supervisory General in the Prime Minister‘s workplace, (CEO PMO) but was fired on 7 December 2006 by the army government which had snatched control on 5 December. He established his official bill of discharge on 13 December.

For this class project, I think my group worked well together on the assignments. We all saw we had responsibilities and were expected to do our own parts for each assignment we worked on. For each assignment, we would split it equally among us and used a tool called Google Docs so we were each on our own computers but working together on one file. Google Docs really made the process easier with reviewing all the information and having it all in one file. If any questions came up we had a group text to communicate when we weren’t on campus grounds for class.

Working in a group to achieve a high quality group project can be one of people’s most difficult school experiences. Working in a group is tough because there is often someone who does not pull their own weight. “There are five stages to group development, adjourning, forming, storming, performing, and norming” (John & Wiley pg 166). Christine’s group from the Case Study the Forgotten Group Member is in between the Storming and Norming Stages. The Storming Stage “is dealing with tensions and defining group tasks,” while the Norming Stage is dealing with high emotionality and tension among the group members” (John & Wiley pg. 166). Christine and her group could have had better

The ugly truth about my education was that I was not being taught the whole history of the United States. In my classes, historic tales were being told. Beginning with Once upon a time on the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria came the settlers along with their servants indentured and otherwise to Jamestown, and ending with Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights movement left gaps, no, canyons, that needed to be filled. To get a glimpse of what I had been missing in History class for the past twelve years was overwhelming, especially since it often required me to alter my thinking about my world; the events and people in it.

Most commonly known for its business in selling Fiji Water, Fiji has much more to offer than a bottled beverage. This tropical country, located within the South Pacific Ocean, is composed of hundreds of differently sized islands, which are populated with multiple ethnic groups. With its lively culture, beautiful land, and warm, welcoming climate, this country is an ideal destination spot for tourism, and attracts people from all over the world. Furthermore, as a country with a rich history, a diverse civilization, and features like no other, Fiji stands out as an interesting place in our world today.

Additionally, Fiji presents numerous opportunities to volunteer in the community and conduct research within marine eco-systems. One passion of mine has always been assisting the disadvantaged and understanding the steps that I can personally take to reduce the various global disparities. In particular, I am extremely fascinated with aquatic species and those on the edge of extinction or in extreme danger. As a child, one of my most treasured experiences was when I had the incredible opportunity to swim with dolphins in Turks and Caicos, and learned about their habit and imminent threats. Specifically, in Fiji, 5 out of the 7 species of marine turtles are severely endangered due to over exploitation and immense habitat destruction. Compared

Fiji is a country in the South pacific, middle of the Equator, and the South Pole. Fiji’s government was a British crown colony from year 1874 to 1970. Fiji was a dual system of governance, one for the whole country, and the other for the ethnic Fijian population. British officials tended to avoid interfering in the issue of the autonomous Fijian administration. The colony then had an executive council conquered by the governor and British administrators and a legislative council that eventually included resident European as well as Fijians legislators. Fiji then became an independent nation on October 10th 1970. Fiji achieved independence as a dominion within the British Nation and an ethnically-based parliamentary democracy with an independent

Entering in this class it did not know what I did not know. Walking in on the first day of class I had no doubt in my mind that I had a lot to learn. Never in my educational career had I been introduced to the topic of African American literature. Sure, history teachers would talk about slavery and our evolution as a society but never had I looked in depth on the first-hand view of the whole experience. Reading literature from the people who experienced these events truly opened up my eyes. The difference between reading a semi bias history book vs reading a piece of writing by someone who experienced the event gives one a whole other perspective that I had not thought of.

In the South Pacific Ocean, about 1,300 miles north of New Zealand, there is a country that is made of 300 islands and 540 islets. These islands combined form the Republic of Fiji. Out of all 300 islands, only about 150 are inhabited by humans. The largest island is Viti Levu, also known as Great Fiji, and the capital is Suva. Fiji is a democratic country, with the government system set up very similar to the United States. Sports are also popular in Fiji, such as rugby and soccer. My goal is to inform readers about the Republic of Fiji

When it came time to reach out the student body, I searched for students who I knew were enthralled by history. I made note to my colleagues that part of the college experience is about making a positive impact on the community, and this was the perfect chance to do just that. By advocating the intentions

The things I will have done differently in the group was to use my time wisely. I believe because we were on a time frame, I tended to rush things just to say okay where done. Also, more support and trust at a point of time I was kind of second guessing another idea. I feel that you have to have trust in your group member to make it effective.

In August of 2015 I came in to my American history class not knowing exactly what I was getting my self in to , I mean the last time I took American history was my 11th grade year in high school in 2009/2010. After meeting with my new Professor and my classmates , I knew I was up for a run in this class, but I was completely wrong I end up loving it. My team was great! we worked as if we knew each other for years , when in reality we just met and we know maybe after this class ends we might not run in to each other again. The experience is worth taking with us ,where ever we may go .My topics may not be word for word what was said but every one learns differently and they pick up different information while being told the same thing.

Fiji is composed of 332 islands in which approximately a third are inhabited. The two main and largest islands are Vanua Levu and Viti Levu. Fiji is very multicultural due to a variety of different settlers throughout the centuries as well as the indentured slave trade system introduced in the late 1900’s. European settlers in the early 19th century made a large impact on Fiji’s economic trade and fueled Fiji’s political tension between indigenous Fijians and Indo-Fijians for decades to come.

Fiji Indian rural households engaged in sugarcane farming mostly own one or two bullocks and horses or, more rarely, a tractor in terms of physical assets (Carswell 2003; Ward 1965; Kingi and Kompas 2005). These rural farmers often do not own machineries for farm operations mainly for two reasons. First, they are not wealthy enough to afford the purchase and it is relatively difficult to feed the cattle due to limited land for grazing (Carswell 2003, p. 137; SCGC 2012, p. 2). Secondly, the farm sizes are too small to adapt to mechanization (SCGC 2012, p. 2). Bullocks and tractor, or some times horses are used on the farms for ploughing and harrowing the land (Carswell 2003, p. 137; Kingi and Kompas 2005, p. 17). It is also used for clearing tracks to lay portable rail lines in the field for the cane trucks (these rail trucks can be transported to and from the farms on tractor-trailer) (Carswell 2003, p. 137; Kingi and Kompas 2005, p. 17).
