The reading that is more informative and useful for a person who knows nothing about the sugar plantations in Hawaii is Article 1 “Hawaii The Land of Many” because it involves more of the plantation life and what the laborers do, while in Article 2 it speaks about the demise of the sugar industry in Hawaii. It states in Article 1 paragraph 2 that the bulk of immigrants coming to Hawaii began in the mid 1800s. Hawaii’s sugar industry was booming hastily, and sugar plantation owners were in need of more workers.

Know Your History The people of Hawaii tend to have a misconception of Hawaiian history. Hawaii's people understand a history of Hawaii but not the correct one because of the denationalization of our people. Denationalization is the term used in the law but it means the same thing as “brain washed” and it is the same method the Germans used in World War II. The Germans used it against the Jewish people to wipe out the population of Jewish people.…
The spring of 1823 would bring a new wave of missionaries to include, William Richards, his wife, and Charles Stewart, with his wife Harriet, and their African companion Betsey Stockton from the Second Company in Boston. These missionaries, along with many westerners, were weary of the Native Hawaiians as viewed in the journal of Betsey Stockton. An excerpt from the first interaction with the natives on April 24, 1823, defined the Hawaiian men who greeted the ship as “half man and half beast-naked-except a narrow strip of tapa round their loins.” “The ladies” she continues “retired to the cabin, and burst into tears; some of the gentlemen turned pale: my own soul sickened with me and every nerve trembled.” She continues her passage by reminder herself “they are men and have souls.”…

Approximately one-third of the food and beverages produced rely on honey bee pollination. As the honey bee population declines as a result of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), a phenomenon that causes honey bees to flee their hive and eventually die during the winter months, the agricultural industry in the United States faces an economic loss nearing $20-30 billion dollars. The population decline has been attributed to many factors such as the parasitic Varroa mite, different types of viruses, poor nutrition and genetic diversity, and a Harvard study has linked the use of certain pesticides to CCD. Attempting to address the implications and costs associated with the decline in honey bee population, as well as the financial losses, is imperative…
