The Tragedy Of Easter Island

The tragedy of the commons are avatars getting around pandora and there are predators trying to take them down and they have to escape and try to survive. If no one owned the land which would be the Na’vis if they all disappeared, the predators around

The day was so boiling that you could see the heat simmering above the road. I sat beside Lauren, my best friend of two years, as we buzzed down the highway in her father’s, or as I call him Burnie’s, Cadillac De Ville Convertible. With the roof off and wind in our ears, blocking any possible sound from being heard.

Princess Kaiulani’s title taken, and Queen Liliuokalani’s reign cut short, the Hawaiian leaders were imprisoned in their own palace room by the American troops in the last years of the 19th century. Sugar cane plantation owners needed lower tariffs and guaranteed stability.

In the article by Jared Diamond, many interesting theories are discussed about Easter Island’s history and decline. Diamond makes connections to the environmental challenges we face today and he compares the catastrophe of Easter Island to our current over consumption of natural resources. While this article makes for an interesting read, much of it is offered from a single perspective and little counter evidence is offered. The author writes in a way that could engage a non-academic audience who may not be interested in counter evidence, or proper referencing. The article lacks credibility due to its narrow scope and conversational diction. At the root of this discussion however, is the notion that the Rapa Nui people were

These examples show both the author’s and the protagonist’s challenge to the order of things and the complete belief the character has. The best example of this is on line eight when the king says that he ‘shall not give you the boat’ the man replies ‘with calm assurance’ ‘you will’.

The arrival of missionaries on the Hawaiian Islands definitely made an impact on Hawaiian society and ways of life. When the missionaries arrived on the islands of Hawaii it was an interesting transition period of Hawaiian history, the ancient Kapu system was abolished and there was an excellent opportunity for the people to be converted into Christianity. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions made their voyage to Hawai’i on October 23rd, 1819. This group contained 17 missionaries with the goal to teach about God’s word and the Christian religion, converting Hawaiian into western civilization, and to teach natives how to write Hawaiian (something that has not been done before by other foreigners). Their journey took 6 months

Hawaii is a beautiful string of island that was formed from volcano the first settlers came to the island around 300 A.D. Not much happened on the island from 300-1700 but in the latter half of the 1700s some very important event occurred that would make Hawaii the place it is today.

The Isle of Hope is situated southeast of Savannah, USA. It is a census-designated place as part of the Savannah Metropolitan Statistical Area with a population of approximately 2400 in the year 2010. The island is well noted for its historic plantations and exclusive waterfront properties having a unique coastal riverside community which dates back from the 19th to 20th centuries. It's no wonder that Isle of Hope Historic District is the perfect spot and opportunity to spread your wings and explore wisdom in this place. Not only that, you'll be a few minutes away from restaurants such as Sandfly Bar-B-Q- an eatery with a huge serving of best-pulled pork, ribs, sweet potato fries and Brunswick stew in town.

On December 7th, 1941, a tragic event happened. Pearl Harbor, Hawaii got bombed. Nearly twenty vessels destroyed or damaged, leaving more than two thousand four hundred people dead and one thousand people injured. It was a tragic moment in Hawaii and what Japan thought was a victorious moment for them. Little did Japan know that the United States had some tricks up their sleeve. John F. Kennedy declared war.

Easter Island was once a haven for its inhabitants. It provided them with all of their needs, food, shelter, tools, and even the ability to create great works of art. They abused this Eden, and turned it into a disaster, with almost no natural resources. This could very well happen to us, because our earth is the same Eden that Easter Island once was.

I was ask to choose a mysterious wonder of the world and write an essay about my reason for choosing; umpteenth wonders appeared in the search box; but only one uphold my attention the most-Easter Island. The isolate island with hundreds of enlarge Moai statues line next to each other facing east is a story need to read. Some of the Moai are delicate carved from past active volcanic ashes by the Easter Polynesian islanders three millennium ago. The quality of the island get a lot of discoveries such as the culture background, the significance about the heads and legendary facts thanks to the archaeologists whom took the time to pursuit the island. As close, my purpose for writing this essay to inscribe words together and hope it create sense

Easter Island is a remote volcanic island in Polynesia that is well known for its giant moai statues jotted all along it. Many scientists come to Easter Island to study how and why the statues were made. These statues have an average weight of about 20 tons and an average height of 20 feet. Historians are not sure how the native people of Easter Island, also formally known as Rapa Nui, were able to drag and place these large statues in their intended locations, but the most commonly accepted theory is that the people used long pieces of ropes to drag these statues to their places. The Moai statues were carved from the solid volcanic ash of the volcano Rano Raraku. They were then taken to quarries on top of the volcanoes, where the people used ropes to hold the statues at a 45° angle so they could be carved even more in more detail.

Lush to barren, bio-diverse to disturbed, blooming beauty to foul crudeness—is a common theme plaguing the natural world at this precise moment in time. Humans are overtaxing the splendor of nature, altering it into an unrecognizable wasteland ravaged by greed and economic lust. Such a modification can even be fatal, extinguishing green eternally in replacement of stark soil that sadly anticipates some form of aid with the capability to maybe replenish it. Within “The Lorax” and the land mass known as Easter Island, both environments are victim to the immoral whims of humanity and the consequent demolition it wreak, the two merely differing in the advancement of technology.

“The Tragedy of the Commons” written by Garret Hardin explains how the human population is degrading the environment. When Hardin refers to commons he is talking about a resource that is owned by no one and used by a group of people. Some examples of commons include the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the oceans we fish. The tragedy is that people don’t look at the bigger picture; the over use of commons for our own personal benefit leads to the destruction or extinction of these commons. For example if one fisherman wants to fish the oceans as much as possible that’s fine, but now imagine if every fisherman wants to fish the oceans as much as they can, this is one example of a common being destroyed by the human population. The

My name is Oliver Kirby and I am a historian. For many years now I have been deeply invested in the study of South American and Polynesian history. The magazine ‘The Good Weekend’ approached me with an opportunity to write an article discussing the rise and expansion of Easter Island and then its decline. I will also be discussing if what happened to Easter Island is a microcosm of what might happen to the rest of the world.
