Aloha

do you think when you hear a word Aloha? When I had no knowledge of Hawaii, or Hawaiian values, I thought it only means hello and welcome. I’ve learned so much about Hawaii and its values including Aloha and now I know it doesn't only mean that. Aloha can mean “love. Aloha can mean “farewell”. After I got into Kapiolani Community College, I had chance to get to know Hawaiian values and each time I’m amazed how each word have deep and thoughtful meanings. And Aloha is the basis of most of the other

Aloha Flight 243 In the Aloha incident, Aloha Airlines flight 243 took off on a regularly scheduled flight departing Hilo and arriving in Honolulu airport. Aloha flight 243 was a Boeing 737 that had suffered from metal fatigue and flown well over the intended takeoff-landing hours.

University of Singapore ACC3602 Managerial Planning and Control Systems Aloha 1. What should be Aloha's competitive strategy? Low cost? It is difficult for Aloha to compete with the industry giants like Nestle, P&G and Phillips Morris on low cost. The reason is simple - volume. These industry giants have much higher volume than Aloha and enjoy a tremendous advantage in economies of scale. It is probably suicidal for Aloha to try to adopt a low cost strategy. It will probably be crushed like

The Aloha Spirit is not an cliché idea that many assume it to be--it is a way of life that dwells within the people of the islands. Whether it be at the store or the beach, everyone spreads the Aloha Spirit--treating everyone and everything with care and respect. Growing up in Hawai’i truly taught me the importance of this spirit. The food, weather, and breathtaking view make this paradise a wonderful place to live in.

“The Aloha State” became the 50th state in 1959, but the history of Hawaii goes back centuries earlier. Roughly 1,500 years ago, Polynesians from the Marquesas Islands first set foot on Hawaii Island. With only the stars to guide them, they miraculously sailed over 2000 miles in canoes to migrate to the Islands. 500 years later, settlers from Tahiti arrived, bringing their beliefs in gods and demi-gods and instituting a strict social hierarchy based on a kapu (taboo) system. Hawaiian culture flourished

The quote that best describes the “essential me” is found in Pirkei Avot: “Be of The disciples of Aharon, loving peace and pursuing peace.” (1:12) If one wants to be like the students of Aharon, he must love and seek peace. When explaining this Pasuk, Rabeinu Yonah says that loving and pursuing peace encompasses two traits. The first trait, described by loving peace, is that one should desire peace. However, desiring peace is not enough; he must also go out of his way to pursue it and dispose of

I always hear how special Hawaii is to the world, that it is where the people take care of the land as well as each other, that its aloha spirit. But I never knew what was the reason why, for me, growing up my parents never showed any signs of the aloha spirits that often, usually they would be very distant with people especially with family members. Since they believed that the only reason they are nice to you is to benefit themselves. So I was very shy and quiet to distant myself from my peers

Aloha ʻĀina While exploring different readings and watching numerous films about the meaning of Aloha ʻĀina, I have learned that the simple meaning translates into “love of the land”. However, Aloha ʻĀina also has a more complex meaning that embraces a deep connection to the people, the land, the culture, a way of life, and a way of viewing life.
