Hawaii's Disruption

I have longed to visit the spectacular islands of Hawaii and if I had a ticket in my hand, I would be so enthused by the idea of going at a place I have always talked about going to. This would be a special occasion in my life and I would go there for the adventure of a lifetime. With the ticket in my hand, I would start planning ahead on what I would be doing and the places in Hawaii where I should visit. The planning would also include booking a fancy hotel that has a beautiful sight of the ocean from the balcony. This would be important in ensuring that this vacation trip will turn out to be an experience to remember. After arriving in Hawaii, I would first check in my hotel and have a rest in anticipation of my adventurous stay in this

Hawaii is facing a crisis. This is not one of wars, disease or famine; the issue is water. Located thousands of miles away from the other continents, many resources in Hawaii are scarce. As a result, Hawaii’s water supply is suffering because of the an ever changing climate, which results in stress on our valuable water.

The state of Hawaii, also known collectively as the Hawaiian Islands, has a long history regarding its development. From migration, to the development of producing goods as a way of bartering, to an eventual governed society, the modernization of Hawaii has an illustrious history. The people who impacted this and were part of creating a globalized look at Hawaii played a part into modernization the state. This paper will illustrate the modernization of this land and its westernization throughout the years.

As stated by the Ke Kukui Foundation, in 1900, only 30,000 people were of pure Hawaiian blood and over the next 45 years, the population for pure Hawaiians will come to extinction. Even back in the early development of the Hawaiian society, one’s intentions and actions shaped the further growth for their people, government, and everyday life. Although this topic is debatable about who it really benefited, the foreigners or the Hawaiians, the finger is turned to the side of the foreigners. The Hawaiians were strong, independent individuals, that carried themselves through hardships brought upon them, before their intruders came to their islands. The outcome from over a hundred years that missionaries had on the

A goddess named Nohealani is a hawaiian goddess for heaven's and fire she was born in March 28, 1669 . If you get her mad she can burn 20 acres of land. She is nice pretty much the whole time. She was born from an erupting volcano and raised by the heavens. Her volcano erupts and makes islands then a turtle goddess Rosie, comes and picks up the islands and carries it. As Nohealani takes care of her island she also is being taken care by her big sister Leilani. Leilani is the goddess of waves. One day Nohealani went down in the valleys to a secret cave. And there it was she witnessed britney stealing secret gems. She chanted for Rosie and Leilani to come, “come to me come come quick to help meeeeee”. As the goddess use their powers to make

War era in Hawaii was a historical time that Hawaii will never forget. Hawaii being in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, made every country wanted to own Hawaii as it would be a great place to land military and naval bases. Military bases started as early as 1898 but real use of the military was not used until the attack on Pearl Harbor. By 1939 Pearl Harbor became the largest base in the Hawaiian Islands, which hosted “one battleship dry-dock, two above ground oil tank farms, a hospital, Navy and Army airfields, a submarine base, and many other facilities” (Chen, par. 2). United States was the first to land naval bases, air corps and military first to be prepared of an attack from the Philippines, but it was planned wrong when Japan did

At the dawn of the nineteenth century, the Europeans and Americans competed for economic dominance of the entire globe. The majority of Western European powers had ultimately claimed and colonized much of the known world, establishing guarded trade routes that traversed the Atlantic Ocean. These trade routes linked the raw resources of the colonized territories in Africa, Asia and South America with the profitable markets in Europe and Eastern North America. American Expansion in Hawaii: 1842-1898 by Sylvester K. Stevens credits Hawaii’s economy and business for the United States interest in such a diverse kingdom. Furthermore, Stevens discusses the missionaries and their role in spreading the American influence. By the 1800’s, American

There are several differences between Oklahoma and Hawaii that would be the easy to explain without getting into politics. The cost of living is comparable in both states but for different reasons like cost of food or insurance. The cultures are completely different but still somewhat the same. The drive to travel is even different. In Hawaii people seem obligated to travel.

DePaolo, Edward, and Thomas, all professors and researchers of geology study hotspot volcanoes, and their impact on Hawaii. Their study is based on a major drilling project based in Hawaii. Drilling is a crucial aspect of gaining insight on volcanoes, because it provides samples of lava, which then provides information about Earth’s mantle. Scientists can then retrieve information from the mantle, such as the age of the volcano and its temperature. Experts say that drilling could be valuable for collecting information about other volcanoes and their mantles.

During this weeks lecture we discussed language and life in Hawaii and how it has been affected by colonialism. Through the course of the lesson, there were several statements and ideas that were presented that raised questions for debate such as colonialism and the use of language to represent identity within the United States. During the lecture that took place on 1/6/17 the speaker, projected this idea that Hawaii would be in a overall better economic and social position if history had taken an alternate course. I believe one of the biggest blotches of colonialism in Hawaii is the Pearl Harbor Military Base. Under my interpretation it is a representation that the Hawaii islands no longer belong to the loving “Aloha” culture but rather as a defense system to the mainland. Additionally in the view of political figures they only care about the geopolitical acceptance in the world scope rather than the preservation of Hawaii.

“it’s been now 4 years since we have been living in this disgusting, pigsty of a building” says Luna, “well you should stop complaining because this is where we could be staying for a while since the outbreak, over one seventh of the world is now contaminated” says Quinn Furiously, “we have to do something or it’ll be too late”. “I heard the world is going to end anyway so what’s the point, we should just stay here until the time comes, we can do anything about it” says Luna in a negative tone. “don’t be like that, you know all the kind of stuff is just fake” adds Sarai, Quinn then turns the TV turns on, “Breaking News, geologists have predicted that the world will end from major activity underneath the earth’s surface and will create many natural disasters”, “I told you this is going to happen” says Luna.

I was born and raised in a society with such great diversity that I have become accustomed to all types of cultures and how they communicate. The Island of Hawaii is one of the most diverse places in the united states. Hawaii’s small community is populated with citizens of different cultures, religions, and ethnicities. That’s why it’s important that Hawaii citizens have a general idea on how to communicate effectively with all types of cultures. While living in this island I have a much more broad understanding of how to communicate with all kinds of people and that is a necessity in terms of characteristic when trying to earn a nursing degree. I feel that there is no other job that can be offered, that would allow me to use my communication skills

HONOLULU, Hawaii — A giant stream of molten hot lava is shooting out of a sea cliff on Hawaii Island. The lava is pouring into the Pacific Ocean. It is exploding as soon as it hits the water.

The most critical environmental issue in Hawaii in my opinion is its dependence on others to import petroleum and coal to the islands. The Natural Resources Defense Council said, “More than 85 percent of the Hawaiian Electric companies’ electricity sales now involve burning diesel and other petroleum products. That is very bad news for both environmental quality and energy security. In 2010, Hawaii had the highest electricity rates in the nation.

A volcano eruption in Hawaii blasted lava all into the pacific ocean. “A dramatic stream of molten hot lava continued to shoot out of a sea cliff Wednesday on Hawaii Island. It was splashing into the Pacific Ocean and exploding upon hitting the water.”(Jones) The eruption started out small, but as time went by the faster the lave shot out. “The lava stream, dubbed a "firehose" flow because it shoots lava outward from the source, started out as a drizzle coming down the sea cliffs after the New Year collapse, but it has recently increased in intensity. The molten lava is now arching out and falling about 70 feet to the ocean below.”(Jones) People to this day tend to cross the boundaries and roped areas that are there to protect
