The Importance Of Urbanization On Oahu

In my opinion, reading 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 1800s. I would suggest using reading 1 because it talks about the entire history, as opposed to reading 2 which talks about the shutting down of the plantations today. This reading teaches the reader about the sugar plantations and the life of the laborers that worked on these sugar plantations. Reading 1 states that the sugar industry boomed in the 1800s which caused the need of plantation workers. They had recruits different countries that lived on the plantation. Laborers had to sign a contract saying they would work for a certain amount of time. Plantation supervisors whipped those

Moving to Hawaii is a dream come true for many people. With sandy beaches as far as you can see and diverse, exciting culture and foods to explore, the Hawaiian Islands provide spectacular views and fun things to do for everyone. The actual moving process requires a lot more planning than moving to a new state in the continental United States though. The residential moving experts at S & S Delivery Inc, located in Honolulu, HI, answer some frequently asked questions about moving to Hawaii.

Before reading this article it never occurred to me that Hawaii wasn’t always a part of the United States. Hawaii was always just one of those locations I knew existed, but seemed a lot like a fantasy. After reading this document, my eyes were opened to how this land was stripped away from the natives that once called it home. This theft of land all began when Captain James Cook first arrived on the island on January 19, 1778.

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.

Living on the Hawaiian island of Oahu offers its own beauty like no other island in the chain. No Hawaiian island is the same; each one has something different to offer, as they all have beaches and hikes. The island of Oahu is a beautiful and interesting place thanks to its diverse beaches and spectacular hiking trails. Laniakea beach and Pupukea Beach Park are two of the best beaches on the North shore for snorkeling, scuba diving and merely wading in the water.

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.

I think that this statement made by Alan Arakawa, the mayor of Maui, is a display of his privilege as a middle class asian politician because of his ability to blatantly insult the beliefs of Native Hawaiians. On the island of Maui, the native Hawaiian community is currently advocating for commercial agricultural corporations to stop diverting water from the streams in the west Maui mountains. They are adamant in their efforts to end water diversions because the diminished river flow has caused a detriment to freshwater and marine life. Another reason for the opposition of the diversions is the Hawaiian cultural belief that the land is sacred and should not be desecrated for human advancement. In his statement, Mayor Alan Arakawa expresses

They started the Republic Of Hawaii. They became a US territory five years later. In the 1900’s most of the Hawaiian economy was based on sugar and pineapple plantations, which brought in Japanese, Chinese, Filipino and Portuguese immigrants.

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.

Living on the Hawaiian island of Oahu offers its own beauty like no other island in the chain. No Hawaiian island is the same; each one has something different to offer, equally they all have beaches and hikes. Laniakea beach and Pupukea Beach Park represent two of the best beaches on the North shore for snorkeling, scuba diving and merely playing in the water. Two good hiking trails that are both located on the southeastern side of the island, Makapu’u Point and Maunawili Falls Trail. The island of Oahu is a beautiful and interesting place thanks to its diverse beaches and spectacular hiking trails.

From July 7, 1898 until August 21st, 1959 the “Big Five” were multi-million dollar corporations that operated during the Kingdom era until Hawaii became a state. The “Big Five” benefited from the annexation and became dominant power in the Hawaiian economy. The “Big Five” were Castle and Cooke, Alexander and Baldwin, C. Brewer and Co., American factors and Theo H. Davies and Co. Sugarcane plantations gained investments by eliminating tariffs imposed on the sugarcane that was sent to the United State which benefitted them with extra money to spend on new equipment, acquire more land and hire more cheap labor.

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

They worked hard to be sustainable. The ahupua’a system was a very organized living system. Although it may seem complicated, the ahupua’a system was land divisions. Each ahupua’a had a name, meaning and purpose. Each ahupua’a was run by a chief that the king had ordered to. Hawaii had a system like no other monarchy ever had. As it is said in the books that this is one of the most devastating overthrows of any monarchy in the world.

Many small town dwellers and villagers had left their hometown for the cities in search of higher standard of living. This movement from rural areas to big cities is called urbanization (Boundless, 2015). As a result, urbanization is the process by which there is an increase in the number and the percentage of people living in the urban settlements and the amount of industrialization of the settlement. In Belize statistics shows that 45% of the population lives in urban areas (Population Reference Bureau, 2014). It also refers to the increase in the size of land area occupied by urban settlements such as towns and cities. Although urbanization has brought about numerous positive impacts, it also has its share of disadvantages as well. The negative impacts of urbanization shall be discussed by means of the economic, environmental and social aspect.
