Phase I: Who Am I? What's My Place?


 * What __really__  makes up your identity? I think what really makes up your identity is your personality because if you have a bad personality then no one will like you and u will have a bad identity.


 * What __really__  makes up your sense of place? I think what really makes up your sense of place is the environment because if you have a violent environment then you will have bad sense of place and state of mind.


 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project? These two factors play important roles in a group project because if you have a bad identity and violent state of mind then no one would want to talk to you and also it wouldnt be easy to make friends and get along.


 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group? I have lots of good qualities. I can help by stating my opinion and explainng why i think that i also think i can help with some problems that we might have.


 * What is one local problem (where you live) that you believe needs to be addressed? Suggest some steps could you take to try to solve it? A local problem in my area is speeding up my hill by my house. I can help by telling my uncle and he can ask the police to put a speedometer on the street to help the people that live up the road to stop speeding all the time.


 * Finally, some problems have been around for a long time. What qualities do you think a person must have to step up and try to solve them?One major quality you would need is confidence because if you dont have good confidence then you will be scared to say what you think so you wouldnt be doing anything.

1. This beach above is one of the most tourist attracted beach in Hawaii 2. If you want a tan this is one of the beaches you should go. 3. Our weather is most of the time great sunny skies and nice water.

Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you.
 * Does a scenic picture represent the beauty you believe that your town has? Yes i think it does because it shows lots of people and its on a beautiful sunny day in hawaii.
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?yes it shows lots of people enjoying there day.
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique? There are lots of statues but my favorite is King Kamehameha because he was once the ruler of the islands
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location? Yes there is lots of culture things in the photo

What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II)

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

What is your local issue? My local issue that i am adressing is drugs like meth. There is a meth project called 'not even once' that helps stop the usage of meth.Meth is a local issue because lots of people use meth in Hawaii. It really affects you, making you do stupid things and thinking that you have bugs crawling threw your body. It is really scary because when on meth you do crazy things that harm yourself or others it is also illegal. "It demonstrates how strong the need for the drug is when they become addicted to it. How they will do almost anything to get more of this drug and how dangerous they can become when they're in various stages of using this drug to the rest of the community," said Cindy Adams, "A user is a selfish person they're only thinking about getting high, about themselves, they couldn't care less about anything else," said La Rose. These are two quotes from an article saying how bad meth is because you do almost anything. This is a photo of meth and how people use it. They inject it into there bloodstream to get high. What can you do to be address the issue? People have adressed this issue by having groups of people that are apart of the not even once project going to highschools and giving out wristbands saying not even once and doing power points to show the bad things about using meth.

What is the global impact of your local issue? Meth is a huge issue because it affects everyone around the world. It makes lots of people do violent things and stupid things. Then people get addicted and do it more often.
