Hawai Case Study

Hawaii is located in the central Pacific Ocean; it is one of the many islands in Polynesia. It is composed of eight main islands: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui and the Island of Hawaii, the island of Hawaii being the largest island of the eight (see attached map). According to the census bureau, as of 2014, Hawaii ‘s population is approximately 1,419,561 with Native Hawaiians forming only 10% of the population; in order to be considered a Native Hawaiian you must have one native great-grandparent (2014 United States Census Bureau). Hawaii’s official languages are English and Hawaiian. Hawaii was first occupied by people coming from the Marquesas Islands approximately 1500 years ago followed by people from Tahiti. In 1778 Captain Cook arrived in Hawaii finding approximately 300,00 Hawaiians there. In the 1850’s Hawaiians worked in sugar cane plantations. In 1983 Queen Liliuokalani was deposed and in 1900 Hawaii became a United States Territory. Fifty-nine years later, in 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States. Tourism plays a huge role in Hawaii’s culture; it is a big part of its economy and social life. This paper will be discussing Hawaii’s tourism and it’s effects.

In my opinion, article #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 first reading it talks more about how the sugar industry started in Hawaii, and what happened throughout the boom of the sugar industry. Also throughout the first article it describes what problems arose during the time of the sugar industry and how they overcame some of the problems, like having immigrants work on the plantations. The main difference is that the first article talks about what went on with the business in the 1800s and 1900s, workers, and changes in the economy.

The capital of Hawaii is Honolulu (the star on the map shows where the capital is). People have a nickname for the state, they call it the “Aloha State” The current population for Hawaii is 1,360,301. It's pretty small compared to some of the mainland states. Hawaii is located at (21.3000°N, 157.8167°W). Honolulu is 4,957 miles from New York City. We acquired Hawaii in 1959. What happened was a group of sugar and pineapple businessmen, aided by the American minister to Hawaii and supported by U.S. soldiers and marines overthrew Queen Liliuokalani, the last reigning monarch of Hawaii. Two years later, the Republic of Hawaii was established as a U.S. territory making Hawaii our 50th state.

The islands of Hawaii were once glorified by nature. It was untainted from the rest of the world as the native Hawaiians uniquely shaped their own culture. This continued until the western world accidentally stumbled upon its pacific neighbors. They came as visitors and were welcomed into the islands. But like a swift poison, the west erased the Hawaiian culture. The missionaries began slowly remaking Hawaii in their own image; first by establishing a permanent settlement; next by overthrowing the queen on January 17 1893; and by removing the native Hawaiians from their culture and forcing them to fit into the western world. However the Hawaiians did not agree with the western world. The forced idea of needing money, Christianity, and books to survive in a world of commerce was unfathomable to them considering how content they already were with their own lifestyles. The western ideas did not stop there as more people, more cultures, and more buildings continued to batter them until finally the Hawaiian culture was completely shattered. Hawaii was a changed and is a changing landscape now. Its title of a romantic utopia has been replaced with square concrete slabs of a city building. It is and will always be a land trying to save and drown its native culture with a melting pot of invasive introductions.

My first choice would be Hawaii, because I really love the culture and environment of the islands. I really love learning about different culture and I'm not afraid to embrace them. My whole life my family has been moving around so I have gotten used to new places and the culture that comes with it. My first memories as a child was of living on a small island in the Caribbean. I loved playing with the locals, and- although I didn't recognize it then- learning from their way of life. When my sister got accepted to BYU Hawaii my first thought was "lucky, the weather must be great over there." However, as she began to tell me stories about the islands and the people there I began to have this yearning inside me, one that seemed to say that that

The Hawaii Wildlife Fund (HWF) is an organization striving to create a safe environment for endangered species along the Hawaiian coast. The organization is made up of a team of researchers, as well as volunteers, who all donate their time to protect endangered wildlife. The team’s latest rescue mission is the Hawksbill turtle. These turtles can be found in and around the waters of Maui. The Hawksbill turtles spend most of their lives in the water around coral reefs. They only come up the shore to lay their eggs in nests they dig in the sands of the beach. The HWF wants to ensure that both adult turtles and hatchlings remain safe. These turtles have also been accidentally harmed from fishing lines, hooks and nets. The HWF is also interested

When people are in total peace relaxing on a beach, it's terrifying to approach them and disturb that state. However, this is what I did for two weeks. In the summer of 2016, I helped raise funds and independently traveled to the island of Hawai'i. I've always had a deep connection with nature, and it makes me upset to see humans increasingly harming our earth. Therefore, in Hawaii, I became a volunteer with ReefTeach. The coral and wildlife in our oceans are dying. Our job was to inform tourists of precautions they could exercise to protect our environment. It was a challenge to politely walk up to people, and many civilians turned me down. But even one person learning something previously unknown made it worthwhile. I saw a kid, that I had

Over the years of my high school life I have had to cope and deal with various amounts of difficult obstacles that have, to some extent, held me back from reaching my goals. Over this last summer I struggled, but made it through the toughest thing I've ever experienced. I went on an environmental studies trip to the Hawaiian Islands that while was the most memorable, influential experience I've ever been able to accomplish, was still extremely challenging and completely different from my laid-back lifestyle. In order to go on this trip I was required to write 5 essays on different topics that are currently popular issues in Hawaii. This was quite a strenuous task for me because I've never had a strong gift in writing. But there was also a

There are many things to be grateful for each day. Whenever I fill my heart with gratitude, the day will become very happy and productive. I realized that the time when I am not appreciate the things around me,it is also the time I complain the most.Living in BYU Hawaii has numberless things to be thankful for.

It’s Samuel Blair we have been at sea for seven months, on the boat of Aviar, we are heading to Hawaii for a pit stop to repair and to restock on our supplies for our journey to Asia. I had the worst the worst job to do on the ship. I had to empty the the poop bucket into the water and I also had to clean up all of the puke that was spit up on the way to Hawaii. When we arrived in Hawaii we went to relax and swim in the water at the beautiful beaches of Hawaii. After we left to go to Asia we caught 3 whales and have about 100 barrels of whale oil. After the trip we came back to Hawaii and we repaired and refitted the ship with goods then went to go get a drink and some jerky for the boat.

The traditional historical concept of the ahupua‘a (traditional native Hawaiian land division stretching from the high mountain watershed downward to the shoreline and out to the deep sea beyond the reef) provided not only a philosophical basis for managing and sustaining
