Global+Issues

Some land is considered the Hawaiians, so they only want Hawaiians living there. || Hate towards other races. || Sometimes you need to waste much time to go a short distance. It is a local issue in Beijing. || Too many traffic jams can make foreigeners be bored of this city. I think foreigeners will think that people in Beijing are so many, they maybe don't want to live in there. ||
 * Name || Local Problem || Global Impact ||
 * Tamara A || One local problem that I believe needs to be addressed where I live is that many LEP (Limited English Speakers) students are bused to our school from miles away. Their parents have very little contact with the school because of the distance from their homes, work or because they lack transportation to the school. Furthermore, most of them speak Spanish and we have very few Spanish speakers in the school. || The global impact of my local issue is that because of language barriers and distance from the school parents are not as involved in their child's education. This is a disadvantage to LEP(Limited English Speakers) students and causes a gap in their educational experiences. Parents are not as equipped to help them with school work. These children began to see themselves as different from the others in class. Some are reluctant to speak their native language in school. These families bring diversity to our schools and if we can get them more involved we can use them as resources to help us learn and teach about other cultures and languages. In return, we can help them become more involved in their child's education and create a more diverse population and a variety of perspectives in our schools. ||

 * Aaron C. || Homelessness is a problem everywhere, but here in Hawai'i it is a very big issue. I have decided to focus on the homelessness in Hawai'i. || Homelessness in Hawai'i does impact the world in ways we aren't aware of. It goes to show that America is a money-hungry country who only shows the views of Hawai'i that will get more tourists to stimulate our economy. They use propoganda techniques to get others to come here and spend money. To many outsiders, Hawai'i is a complete paradise because they only see what the government allows. It also goes to show that even the most beautiful attractions has its flaws. ||
 * Nami C. || Our local issue we have here in Hawaii is definitely homelessness. Due to land scarcity in Hawaii, houses here are expensive and many can't afford it. We even have problems paying for rent, my mom works two jobs to make ends meet. As you can see below, many homeless pitch tents near the beach and live there. Beaches are the most common places where homeless go because there are public showers and bathrooms || Homelessness is a big issue worldwide, it is not only in Hawaii but so many different places. But Hawaii is a big tourist industry, tourist come to Hawaii and see more homeless and tents pitched up by beaches. This is not what people from other places see in brochures of the beautiful O'ahu and not what they want to see either. ||
 * Loa D. || 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. || 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. ||
 * Rickey W. || My local problem has to be racism. It's common to hear Native Hawaiians call Whites "haole" wich means forigners.
 * Chloe M. || There is a lot of litter crowding the highways and main roads, probably because no one enforces those laws. Also, there are many business owners struggling to keep their businesses successful, many are closing down and in huge debt. || Natural resources are greatly affected by litter. Animals die from pollution and litter that clogs up our streams and roads. When people come to visit our city they are very displeased to see litter crowding the roads. Also, the closing of small businesses gives chain businesses more support that they most likely do not need, encouraging the start of a small monopoly. ||
 * Joey S. || The use of school funds ||  ||
 * Zihao C. || In Beijing, the traffic jam is a big issue. More and more cars are bought by people then there are more and more cars on the roads.
