b) When my friend was arguing about this person in school, who I have no knowledge of, I began to feel the same emotions. She told me how bad and mean the person was and I began to develop anger inside of me. I felt like I wanted to punch whoever that person is.
c) SS: We learned about segregation between the Caucasians/Europeans and the Asians. The Caucasians and Europeans were allies and they were always the one who had authority and had complete control over how they wanted to treat their people, which were the Asians. The Asians were the ones who were seen as the most unskilled. This occurred during the plantation days.
SC: We are doing this Ecybermission project, but we haven't chosen our topic yet. However, this project does deal with empathy because we are supposed to be doing our project on a current issue in Oahu that is yet to be solved. And in order to be able to solve these issues, we need to be able to have a full understanding of it. Instead of feeling sorry for our environment, we actually know how the environment is feeling, i.e. we know what the environment is undergoing.
LA: We are doing this KC3 Project and the topic that we chose was "Invasive alien species." This topic involved empathy because the native species who were once flourishing the islands of Hawaii are dying out. They are still here, but most of them are already extinct. The few that are still living in the island are suffering diseases caused my mosquitoes, loss of habitat, loss of food, and are dying out day by day. Now, these invasive alien species that were brought in overseas have been flourishing our island as of today and are taking over the natural beauty of the island.
a) Interdependence is the act of depending on someone or something. The things that we do affect the well-being of others and the environment. For example, if we litter, our oceans will become filthy and the animals will not be able to survive, eventually, the oceans can no longer support us.
b) Instead of polluting our oceans, air, and our Earth, I decided that I'd rather help improve the horrid conditions of our planet. So, in a sense, our planet is depending on us to help it survive. So, just by doing these little things, we can make a big difference. Now, if everyone or majority of people came together to help in volunteer projects, then we can greatly improve our planet and alter the minds of those who have no care. Another experience was when I needed a helping hand from someone for a problem that I was undergoing.
c) SS: We learned about the challenges that the people had to suffer during the plantation days. The Asians demonstrated interdependence because they depended on the Caucasians and Europeans to supply them with the basic living that they needed. They were the ones who had to provide them with food, water, electricity, housing, clothing, some spending money, and they had to pay for their personal taxes. They also needed money so that they could bring some back to their homeland and make a better living. However, this didn't happen. They were paid very low and suffered harsh living conditions. So, they depended on the government to improve their living and for higher pay.
SC: In our Ecybermission project, the topic that we have chosen depends on us to find the solutions.
LA: In our KC3 projects, we are learning interdependence because the topic that my group chose, which is invasive alien species, involves this. We learned that Hawaii's ecosystems, which include underwater sea creatures and plants and land creatures and plants, depends on us to make a difference. Our native species are getting extinct and these invasive alien species are beginning to take over Hawaii. So, these many organizations are coming together to evict these alien species and to breed more of Hawaii's native species.
