The lessons that the readers can learn from this text is to always be cautious about Hawaii’s ecosystem. In paragraph 1, it says,” They have strict rules for importing animals. They carefully screen all incoming pets. Who could blame them? They've had problems with new animals in the past”. In this section, they are talking about how Hawaiians are wary of letting new animals in. They are wary because of one past experience that went wrong. In paragraph 2, it explains how the Black rat was…

I’m very sorry that I wasn’t able to send you a letter for the past few years. Since the day I left Alaska, me and many other missionaries went through an unforgiving sea, docked our ship, Uranie on a small bay in Hawai’i island, and right now we’re in the middle of teaching some important things to these Hawaiians. I don’t know if you’ll fully understand, but the reason why I secretly sailed all the way out into the middle of the ocean is, because we missionaries needed to spread our…

Hawaii is a state with a vast economy made up of many industries. The most prominent industries include tourism, military/government, real estate, and agriculture. Not only is the state bustling with tourists, but it is a major military area with bases for the Army, Navy, Marine, Coast Guard, and Air Force. According to Newsmax, Hawaii is “second in the nation for sugar cane production and the first in the nation for pineapple production” (Jones, 2015). The economy of Hawaii has been steadily…

pushing for equal opportunity. The past proves that there is no opposition that cannot be overcome. We as the human race have proved that. It is time to push through racism. One area in particular is Hollywood. Latinos, African Americans, Asians, Native Americans, and all other minorities face opposition in finding acting roles. As the Huffington post remarks “there are more straight, white male superheroes with power than all minorities combined with power in Hollywood’” (Duca). Robert Downey…

Family Therapy (McGoldrick, Giordano & Garcia-Preto, 2005) where about Native Americans, Native Hawaiian families, British West Indian families, and Haitian families (2-4 & 8-9 chapters). I was very excited about this assignment and very much enjoyed reading about these cultures. Any and all details I can learn about Native Americans I find really enjoyable. These details will help me with my current job as well. In the Native American society, if an individual is lesbian, gay, bisexual or…

some problems with the video. The video consisted of multiple clips of Native Americans with text over the clips explaining why changing the day would be a good idea, but the only Native Americans shown were plains Native Americans in the reservation era. Using images of Native Americans in this way is politically invigorating in that it shows the Native Americans only as they were during the reservation era. Showing the Native Americans as “outside of history”, or in just that one moment (the…

Land of the free and home of the brave. These words define American culture and evoke patriotism among its citizens. But, if one were to look beyond the shining sentimentality and apply these words to the U.S.’s cruel history, it conjures a different feeling. In 1893, Hawaii was colonized by the United States and has since become the epitome of these famous words. Paradistic freedom balanced with brave militaristic guardians make Hawaii the perfect vacation spot, surrounded by the safety of…

Hawaii is known mainly for its beauty and beaches, but like everything else. It is not always what it seems. Hawaii isn’t exactly a getaway from all the world’s problem. In 2012, Hawaii was listed as one of the five states to have failed a legislature that addresses specifically to human trafficking. “With trafficking comes the drug industry and in 2001, drug convictions alone made up 50.4% of total criminal convictions in the state. ()” Human trafficking and Drug Abuse are both linked…

of Hawaii do not know that they have gone through this until they have been educated properly with the correct information. There are many native Hawaiian educators who want to spread the knowledge of Hawaii's past because teaching people about the history. This would help us to have a better understanding of what we really need to do next. These days native Hawaiians fight for sovereignty, which is more than understandable, but why are they fighting for sovereignty when it was not taken in the…

Plantation Worker Letter Home Aloha, or hello (that's what they say on the plantation). I miss all of you back in Japan, I miss Okasan’s (mom) cooking, I miss watching the little ones play, but I mostly miss father. Tell him that I will come and visit him at the ulter soon. I left home to pursue a new life, to live in a warmer place, to get a job, and live in free housing. From what I understand most people came to Hawaii for the same reasons, sadly most of those promises were not fulfilled.…
