Trip To French Polynesia

The islands of French Polynesia are almost surrounded/protected by the coral reefs from the sea. There are two ancient volcanoes on the islands of French Polynesia. One of them lies on the island called Tahiti. The volcano stands at 7,352 feet above sea level. The other one is on the island called Bora-Bora. The volcano there stands at 2,385 feet above sea level. Both are part of the Society Islands. The Society Islands are divided into two parts/island custards. One is know as the Îles du Vent(Windward Islands). The other is known as the Îles Sous le Vent (Leeward Islands) which were named by Capt. James Cook when he visited for a scientific expedition for the Royal Society (Society part). The islands became first a French

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.

Recently today a navy ship driving in the Pacific Ocean discovered smoke in the air. The ship went to it and when they got on the island discovered there were 6 kids attempting to kill each other. The navy stopped the boys and got them off the island to safety. The kids were later identified as Rodger, Sam, Eric, Jack, Ralph, and Maurice. The kids were all survivors of a plane crash that landed on an island in the Pacific Ocean. The plane was shot down during World War II. After speaking to all of the survivors we learned the entire story of what happened.

“Sacred Earth” is another name for the beautiful American Samoa. Tafeu Cove, located in American Samoa, is about 2,600 miles southwest of Hawaii. Tafeu Cove has alluring blue waters, beaches, and animals. This amazing national park also has 4,000 acres of land offshore from three separate smaller islands.

Since 1840 the Hawaiian Islands have been an escape to a tropical paradise for millions of tourists. People all over the world encounter alluring, romanticized pictures of Hawai'i's lush, tropical vegetation, exotic animals, beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, and fantastical women. This is the Hawai'i tourists know. This is the Hawai’i they visit. However, this Hawai'i is a state of mind, a corporate-produced image existing on the surface. More precisely, it is an aftermath of relentless colonization of the islands' native inhabitants by the United States. These native Hawaiians experience a completely different Hawai'i from the paradise tourists enjoy. No one makes this as clear as

The debate over who rediscovered American as has been long lasting. Be it Leif Erikson of Christopher Columbus the mindset remained that a European was responsible. However, as technology advances and Eurocentric mindsets start to fade, new theories have been established. Now there is a theory that Polynesians rediscovered America long before Columbus sail the ocean blue or Erickson discovered Newfoundland.

According to the GFN, Global Footprint Network, humans had used up all of their natural resources in just eight months. Somewhat how the Polynesians on Easter Island used up all of their resources as well, but instead it was too many people into small of an area competing for resources. There is evidence that the island was covered in trees and many other resources before man arrived. The first European visitor to visit was Jacob Roggeveen and when he arrived he spent four days on the island and saw a population of about 3,000 people. Four to five years later, a British navigator, Sir James Cook, arrived on the island, to find that the inhabitants were almost completely wiped out with only about 600 to 700 men and less than 30 women. It is

Criminal acts are rare and nearly non-existent some common sense things are do not wear expensive jewelry, carry large amounts of money, and do not involve yourself in a fight. There are no virtually no aggressive vendors or beggars. No fraud has been noted and prices are clearly marked when out shopping. No terrorist act has ever been noticed as well as no piracy in the maritime zone. I think the biggest danger may be walking under a coconut tree and having one of them drop on my head causing a concussion.

The Polynesian migrations were a good example of human beings using their knowledge, technology, and adaptability to migrate to new lands. Polynesian migrated to many places around the Pacific Ocean and spread to so many islands around the Ocean. They might had contact with those people at the Pacific Islands area. They moved around from place to place since long time ago before European discovered that area.

Although a spectrum can be broad in range, every spectrum has two definite boundaries: the absolute left, and the absolute right. In H.G. Wells’ novel The Island of Doctor Moreau the idea of the spectrum and its extremes is explored through Edward Prendick and his relation to the scientific community. As an amateur interested in science, Prendick is situated between the two ends of the scientific community’s spectrum, the professional and scholarly scientists, and the exceptionally critical non-scientific community. These two communities are portrayed through the condemning anti-science views of the media, and Dr. Moreau, a professional yet rather psychotic scientist. This essay demonstrates that Prendick is able to offer the reader an intersection

European colonizers were drawn to Tahiti because it fulfilled their lost Edenic dreams. It didn't help many European explorers found the islanders asthetically beautiful, especially the women. It only became more valuable when they discovered vanila and black perals.

In the film, The Island of Dr. Moreau, one could argue that the filmmaker’s color choice for the film is appropriate, considering most films during the 1970’s were made in color. However, if the film were made in black and white, the depth of the island and the complexes of the animalistic characters would feel less significant. In this scenario, the coloring aspect helps by bringing more depth and detail for both the beast men and the wildlife, which inhabited the island of Dr. Moreau. The lighting in the film in its entirety is medium and balanced since neither cool nor warmer filters were particularly utilized.

Throughout time ethically controversial sciences, from vivisection to stem cell research, have embodied a negative stereotype in the eyes of western societies, and have consequently withdrawn the freedom that allows scientists to make innovative discoveries. In H.G. Wells novel The Island of Doctor Moreau, this perspective is portrayed through Edward Prendick, an upper class English gentleman with a subtle passion for science. After being stranded on a remote pacific island isolated from civilization, Prendick’s perspective on Dr. Moreau’s unethical and controversial studies begins to transform over time. The idea that isolation from civilization can result in the freedom to explore one’s curiosity is portrayed through Prendick’s initial unacceptance of Moreau’s vivisection, which, as time on the island elapses, reshapes to one of interest. In The Island of Doctor Moreau, as Edward Prendick spends more time away from civilized society, his perspective regarding Dr. Moreau’s ethically controversial discipline, vivisection, begins to shift from a sense of repugnance to one of enthusiasm. Through these perspectives, H.G. Wells argues that Prendick’s isolation from civilization is the principle force allowing him to freely embrace the unethical studies on the island and explore his natural curiosity for science, whereas the consequences from negative stereotypes surrounding controversial science would discourage this curiosity in a civilized society.

The ideal vacation for me is somewhere nice and warm. A vacation where you are suppose to be able to unwind and relax. Being around somewhere that isn't school related or teachers. For me, a way to relax is not to be around loud things, like little kids and preferably somewhere peaceful. A good vacation is somewhere near a nice beach, where I can have a delicious barbeque while chilling with some music. If there was a break, I would choose to go to Hawaii or somewhere with a breathtaking view so I can take many pictures.
