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


 * What __really__ makes up your identity?

The foundations that make up my identity are my family, friends, surroundings, and the things that I've been through during these years.

These are the things that formed my identity because my family are the ones i look up too, follow, and they correct me from right to wrong. From there actions of helping me through life gave me a better perspective of things. With out there influence who knows what I would of been doing at this point.

Friend are another part of my identity because they too help me through out life,school, and problems that occur. They formed a part in my identity by helping me build who I am, and seeing that there's always something better at the end.

Even the surrounding made an impact on my identity because with a clean, safe, and friendly environment It gave me the influence to make better choices in my future, and to be a better role models for the up coming generation.

well i have no sense of place..i think
 * What __really__ makes up your sense of place?


 * What roles do your identity and sense of place play when you work with others in a group project?

The role that my identity and sense of place play when I work with others in a group project are both leader an follower because with both of these qualities I am able to learn from others and even give out the information that I know too them.


 * What are the qualities that you bring to the GLIP conversation that will help you make a contribution to your global group?

The qualities that I bring to the GLIP conversation that will contribute to my global group are one respecting others opinions about things, I'm friendly, easy to work with, and I think I have the potential to be successful.


 * 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?

One local problem that I've seem that have been intensity increasing are homeless In Hawaii. I think it needs to be addressed and out there because from the increase of homeless. some streets are becoming unsanitary, people health are at risk and the pedestrians that are walking by. Steps we could take to decrease the inflow of homeless in Hawaii are one bring down the cost rate of rent in Hawaii, two open Heath clinics they could go to if they need Any medical assistants invade of injury Or sickness, three they could open homeless sheather that could provide homeless a roof under there head for that night. I think if we did these steps our economy Would increase and there would be less homeless on the streets.


 * 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?

The qualities a person must have to be successful in solve a problem are one they have to be motivate too solve it, positive, have no negativity to there problem or saying its impossible, and finally never give up!

Phase II: Sense of Place

Upload image (s) here:

This picture is taken on the stair way to heaven, its a picture viewing Kaneohe. The stair way to heaven is a hike of 3000 stairs. This picture right above is a picture i toke at Ala Moana beach park. It represents the things some of us do in Hawaii. (FYI if your an instagramer you should totally FOLLOW ME!! @Chasonloves <--- user name)

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?
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?

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: "Homelessness in [|Hawaii] has become so pervasive that the governor has assigned a state employee to work full time at getting people off the beaches and into transitional housing"

"Volunteers and crews from the city's Department of Facilities Maintenance hauled off what was left. Police officers kept the peace while many onlookers seemed pleased to see the homeless go."

What is your local issue? The increase of homeless in Hawaii.

What can you do to be address the issue?

To address this issue to the public and the government, I can write to the government informing them about the increase of homeless, and why there is a rise. An to address this issue to the public i could write a new report an publish it on the newspaper...

What is the global impact of your local issue? The global impact of this local issue is that the economy is getting worst and worst by every time a person or family get homeless because that mean the government has to take care of them and this issue.
