Moreover, paved roads will invite a greater number of tourists and lead to increased tourism revenues.
Objective 2: Developing the Cultural educational center
Currently, there are no formal tourism facilities at all on the island of Kaho'olawe. Through effective marketing and advertising strategies, the proposed cultural education center will invite individuals across the globe to know the essence of Hawaiian culture by visiting the island of Kaho'olawe. Visitors to Kaho'olawe will improve their knowledge on the cultural aspects of the inhabitants of the region while enjoying the scenery and surroundings. An educational approach to tourism will focus on the promotion of the culture of the inhabitants through provision of relevant knowledge and information concerning the island of Kaho'olawe. Visitors, or edu-tourists, can choose among various cultural activities, workshops, and seminars. The facilities will expand in quality and quantity as the state of Hawaii receives return on initial investments.
At the center, visitors will meet with local Hawaiians who can teach them about Hawaiian history and help the visitors feel they are "sent back in time." Educational programs will be designed for all age groups, incorporating a wide variety of activities and multimedia. Most educational activities will take place outdoors, because few people visit Hawaii to stay inside. There are three main strategies for meeting the objective of the cultural education center: building the center, building the campground facilities, and offering food and beverage service.
Strategy 1: Building the center
Building the center using local materials and sustainable construction techniques is the cornerstone of the tourism development project. A sustainable development approach will also focus on the improvement of the region through the creation of employment opportunities for the natives of Hawai'i. Only those developments that are essential will be built, to prevent mass tourism that would adversely impact both environment and culture of Kaho'olawe.
Strategy 2: Build the campground
A campground provides the best means for guests to be one with...
The facilities will include primitive camping for those who prefer solitude and complete extrication from civilization, but will also include luxury camping options for those who prefer it. Mixed facilities will attract the broadest possible target market, and allow the island to develop organically in resonse to the varying demand of its diverse consumer base.
Strategy 3: Create Food and beverage facilities
Food and beverage facilities will be simple but in tune with the needs of tourists. Local foods will remain the core emphasis, including seafood dishes such as poke, as well as local plant food sources. Vegetarians will always be catered to at the tourism facility.
Objective 3: Access to the Island
The cultural education center is useless without a means to get there. Access to the island of Kaho'olawe will be passenger ferries. The two primary strategies include building the dock, and planning the ferry system to and from Maui.
Strategy 1: Create a ferry dock
The current docks are for small private fleet only, and cannot yet accommodate the needs of a growing facility. Therefore, it is essential to build a dock to accommodate for future influx of tourists. The dock should be large enough to account for future growth as well as cargo ships, but designed with maximum aesthetics and environmental sensitivity.
Strategy 2: Create ferry rides from Maui, Hawaii
To get visitors over to the island, there will be regular ferry service from Maui. The service will be reliable, with a timetable posted on the Internet. The service will currently be offered only to passengers and not to vehicles except commercial vehicles necessary for our facility. We want to keep the impacts on the environment as low as possible to reflect our sustainable awareness.

However, we also intend to eventually emphasize a small niche market of people willing to see the "real" Hawaii, to learn about Hawaiian culture and customs, and be a part of a traditional community. Goals and strategies for expansion are as follows. Objective 1: Provide a more upscale service and facilities At this phase of our development, and with the goal of developing Kaho'olawe, we want to improve the outlook of
Grassroots movements and peaceful protests have helped promote equality in Hawaiian higher education. In 1991, a fierce debate waged throughout the nation over the legitimacy of affirmative action programs. That debate helped to showcase the need to take action—affirmative action—to conscientiously and constructively solve the problem of institutionalized racism. In a KFVE news show entitled “Island Issues,” two professors from the University of Hawaii talk about the need for affirmative action
The Meller / Feder article substantiates what Banner asserted about the diseases brought by mainlanders that killed off large portions of the Hawaiian population. Indeed, between 200,000 and 400,000 native Hawaiians lived on the Islands at about the time Captain Cook (reportedly the first white visitor) arrived in 1778; by 1910, the time of the first official U.S. Census of the Hawaiian population, there were just 38,547 natives remaining. The
Educators believed that Hawaiian Creole English use was associated with low academic achievement, low socioeconomic status and a negative community stereotype. Hawaiian students were to be encouraged to become primarily fluent in Standard English. This belief was that fluency and subsequent improvement in academic achievement would allow students greater opportunities in education and in life. Teachers were to encourage the speaking of SE in the classroom and model such speaking

USA Hegemony There are no fundamental differences between now and what international politics used to be in the first half of the 20th Century. It is true that the post-WWII period has been more peaceful, but it is not because of a fundamental transformation in the way international politics works. To state that there are no fundamental differences between international politics in 1900-45 and afterwards would be to carry the argument to
