Hawaiian: The legend of Eddie Aikau

The perspective shown in the movie Hawaiian is the perspective of the Hawaiian people on imperialism. The Hawaiian people were not happy about imperialism. Once Hawaii was annexed many white tourists came into there beaches and acted like they were better than the Hawaiian people and began surf competitions and the Hawaiians did not feel respected as the citizens of this island. The sport of surfing that Eddie loved so much was taken away from him by the new white immigrants who came in and took over the beaches of Hawaii for surfing competitions that Eddie among other Hawaiian surfers were unfairly not allowed to compete in. The Hawaiian people were still not happy about imperialism in the mid-20th century even though it happened almost 100 years before.

How do you analyze a political cartoon?

I think the best way to analyze a political cartoon is to not look at things from  a literal perspective and to analyze what they could mean. For example a large bag of money crushing someone could mean the taxes being too high. Also another good way to analyze a political cartoon is to look not only at the mani part but also to the things around it that could give it a hidden meaning.

One point that I didn't write to analyze a political cartoon is actually analyzing it that the artist can use something more familiar to a person so that the reader can better understand what is happening. Also the artist may exccagerate a physical characteristic of  the person in the cartoon to make a point.

 This cartooon symbolizes the war with Spain over Cuba withn the USA literallly standing over Cuba.

 This political cartoon is a picture of Uncle Sam (Representing USA) in the Philipines helping the peope there like the USA was in the Philipines with Spain watching from a distance. The meaning is the the USA was in possesion of Philipines while Spain just watched.

 This political cartoon is about the Cuban missile crisis and it shows the USA represented by Uncle Same anxiously waiting to see what will happen and the Soviet union is watching from across the ocean.

Civil Rights Act of 1964

1. This law prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

2. I do believe that these behaviors still take place because people are still racist and it is seen in person and on the news how people with different skin colors or sex can sometimes me treated differently then people who are white.

3. There is not really much that an be done against issues of racism because it is very difficult to change the way a person thinks about a certain group of people, also laws have been passed fro everyone to be treated equally and there is not much mire that can be done when it is already illegal.

4. I think  that this field trip will be very informative and interesting to be able to see the park where the children's march took place and see how different things are compared to the movie.

Factory fires

Between 1880 and 1925 3,985,061 people died in factory fires and there are many factors that caused all these deaths. One factor is that the factory wasn't ready for a fire there were no sprinklers on the roof(which were added later) and there were no fire extinguishers so when there was a fir there were no materials in the factory to help them put it out. Another problem that was occurring was because the factories were not prepared for fires the fires would often spread and even the fire escape would catch on fire so there was no way for people to escape.  Eventually factory fire laws came into existence, the factory fire laws fell into two classes the first one concerns the safe guarding of the worker and the second protects his life in case of sudden peril.

Progress

1. Progress is defined as positive improvements made in a certain amount of time.

2. 1890-1920 was known as the progressive era. Began as social movement to political movement. Problems could have been solved by providing good education, and good work spaces.

3. Progressive reforms liked to make the problems known not really solve them.

4. Essential goals: Fighting corporate greed, womens rights, strengthening govrnment
Good goals: Conservation of environment, rail road regulations
Not a good idea: Prohibition

Future

1. Some of the weirdest predictions that I found were that the letters c, x and q will be removed from the alphabet because they will become unnecessary. Another was that rats and mice would be exterminated and that the only animals remaining would be in zoos. Another prediction is that spouses would be able to control one anothers thoughts through a pill so that they couldnt think for themselves. Another prediction is that the way that children would learn was by going to school and sitting while a wire connects to their head teaching them everything they need to know. A prediction that almost everyone has heard of is the flying car which was also being predicted.

2. Most of the predictions for the future were a wish list like flying cars and not having to study in school because people would hope that the time coming would be better than they it is now.

3. Some of the predictions that have come true are self driving cars, video chatting, fake meat, and smart phones. Some predictions that are very out if reach are frog people living in the ocean, whales being tames to be forms of transportation in the ocean, and fire fighters will wear batwings as transportation through the sky.

4. A trend that I see is that almost all the predictions are for convenience to make people lives easier like self-driving car so that they wouldnt have to bother steering and focusing on the road.

5. I predict that there will be flying cars. I also think that when you watch a movie you will also be able to smell what is happening and not just see it. Also you will not have to go to the supermarket to get groceries they would be delivered.
