Abstract
This paper explains that, from the time when Kamehameha the Great unified the islands in 1810, to the overthrow of the Hawaiian government in 1893, Hawaii metamorphosed from a feudal society into an independent constitutional monarchy, which, compared to the similar development in Europe, practically happened overnight in Hawaii. The author points out, that in 1887, a group of American and European businessmen and an armed militia, associated with a secret society called the Hawaiian League, which favored annexation to the United States, forced the king at gunpoint with a bayonet at his throat to accept what is today known as the Bayonet Constitution. The paper relates that President Grover Cleveland had refused to approve the annexation of Hawaii; however, in 1896, William McKinley replaced Cleveland as president and gave his blessing to annexation.
From the Paper
"The Wilson-Gorman Act passed by Congress in 1894 discontinued the bonus to sugar producers in the United States and restored the tariff on sugar imported into that country, so that the Hawaiian sugar industry once more enjoyed the benefits conferred by the reciprocity treaty. Consequently the labor question again became pressing. In the 1880's the government had begun the introduction of contract laborers from Japan in order to counterbalance the Chinese and restrictions had been placed upon the immigration of Chinese. In the 1890's the situation was reversed. By 1896, the Japanese made up nearly a fourth of the whole population. There were real fears that Hawaii might become a Japanese colony. Various measures were therefore adopted to reduce the volume of Japanese immigration and to encourage the immigration of Chinese. Yet during three years, from 1895 to 1897 that this policy was followed, the number of Japanese immigrants still exceeded the Chinese by more than two thousand."

Megan's Law in Hawaii, 2002.
This paper reviews the history of Hawaii's Megan's Law, laws aimed at people convicted of sex-related crimes that require community notification of the release of offenders and the establishment of a registry of offenders.

Abstract
This paper explains that Hawaii's laws regarding sexual offenders have nothing in particular unique about them as they are modeled on successful laws passed in other States, including California, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The paper states that the Hawaii's Supreme Court struck down Megan's Law, as enacted by the State of Hawaii, on November, 21 2001, because they ruled that it violated due process, right to privacy and equal protection under the law. The author believes that Hawaii made an error in its original version of Megan's Law when it did not contain provisions for allowing convicted sex offenders out of the requirements of registering in a meaningful amount of time.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"The State maintains a database that citizens can access from any county police station headquarters in their area. The database contains information on all those convicted of any crimes, as well as sex crimes. The weak point of the database seems to be that if your sexual crime was not committed in Hawaii, there seems no provision for accessing information about the person or the crime. The computers are accessible during normal business hours Monday through Friday. The State used to have a website that could be accessed but because Megan's Law, as it was written by the Legislature in Hawaii, was struck down by the Hawaiian Supreme Court that web site has go off line. The Legislature has sense rewritten the law. According to the State's official governmental website you can still access the information on line but when you click on the link you go to a page that says it is still under construction."

One of the most interesting migrations in United States history was the Japanese migration to Hawaii. It showcased the many difficulties that the migrations to the states encountered. "

Abstract
This paper looks at the history of Asian immigration to Hawaii. It explains the impact of the decisions made by politicians at the end of the 1800s to allow Asian immigrants to migrate to assist with sugar cane farming and in other industries. It examines the social consequences of Asian immigration and looks at the contributions made by this population group.
From the Paper
"America is said to be a nation of immigrants, and although Hawaii is not part of the upper 48 states, it holds true to this tradition. Hawaii has a very significant Asian immigrant population that has greatly influenced the culture of the islands. "The first Japanese to set foot in North America were sailors. Typhoons, southerly winter winds, and the kuroshio (black current) sometimes pulled Japanese coastal shipping vessels and fishing boats far out into the Pacific Ocean....According to a nineteenth century study, at least sixty Japanese vessels were pulled out into the Pacific Ocean from 1617 to 1875. It can be safely assumed, however, that the overwhelming majority vanished without a trace and their crews perished at sea." (Van Sant, 22) So although there were Asians making journeys to the Americas long before then, the majority of Asian immigrants came to Hawaii during the nineteenth century when plantations were seeking large,cheap work forces and they invited large groups of immigrants to leave their home countries in search of a better lifestyle. These immigrants had a large impact on Hawaii by bringing pieces of their own Asian cultures with them and integrating those into Hawaiian culture."

Introduction
Marketing Tactics and the Four P's of HVCB
Factors and Competitive Advantage
Other Possible Tactics
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Essentially a marketing strategy is built around the core values, vision and objectives of the organization. Study of market strategy one become aware that in order to have product, price, promotion or placement, the organization must have done its research on the market and the consumer need for its service. Without an understanding the targeted audience, the organization cannot market at all. It is important to work the product, its price, distribution and promotion around the needs of the people and of course, from there working to persuade segments of the segment into wanting the product. This is called product diversification. Not everyone can afford an Hawaiian vacation and all the attractions that are available at HVCB. The travel industry is highly competitive, cut throat with many threats to income. Consumers are more wary travel today than five years due to present conflicts in the world. It is important for HVCB to get around these obstacles by enticing the consumer. Really Hawaii can sell itself on the premise of being a beautiful relaxing place but after that it is the job of an organization like HVCB to continue marketing the idea of a vacation. This is where pricing and promotion become important to the marketing strategy. "

Health Insurance Law in Hawaii, 2002.
A discussion on the Prepaid Health Care Law of 1974 and the effect it has on small businesses in Hawaii.
774 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 29.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper, written in the form of a letter to the Governor of Hawaii, argues against the use of the the state-mandated Prepaid Health Care law of 1974 which requires all businesses to provide medical insurance benefits to all employees who work more than twenty hours per week. The paper shows that this law affects the profitability of these businesses as they cannot afford to pay the average $2,200 per person on an annual basis. The paper looks at the disadvantages of the law to both employers and employees and examines alternatives.
From the Paper
"In addition, many employers do not maintain full-time staff members because if they hire employees that work under twenty hours per week rather than full-time, they will not have to pay for the increasing costs of their health insurance premiums. This, in turn, limits potential economic growth because employees are not able to receive sufficient salaries for living expenses, and with the tax structure that is in place in Hawaii, it is often very difficult for the average family to survive. Furthermore, when fewer employees are available to perform the work, the result is evident in the lower production of products and services and this affects overall economic growth."

Hawaii & U.S., 1999.
Examines history of relations from 1788 to 1998, focusing on arguments that annexation by U.S. was illegal.

From the Paper
" The American Century, as the twentieth century has become known, actually began in 1898 when the United States acquired its first overseas possessions. The spoils of the Spanish-American War included the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. In 1998, the 100th anniversary of that four-month conflict has prompted many to re-examine America's foray into colonialism, often with less than flattering conclusions.
What has gone unnoticed by most, however, is that 1998 also marks the 100th anniversary of the United States' "peaceful" annexation of the Hawaiian islands. Most Americans are blissfully ignorant of how Hawaii came to be a part of the United States, and even if made aware, would likely view the American actions in the 1890s as a footnote on the road to Hawaiian statehood. No different, for example, than the annexation of.."

From the Paper
"Hawaii today is the farthest west state in the Union. It is also the most unusual state in the United States, for it consists of 132 islands and atolls extended across some 1,600 miles of ocean. The origin of this place of beauty was extremely violent, for the islands were forced up from the ocean floor by mighty violent explosions. The molten rock from these explosions built up and then was worked on by the elements of the crashing surf, the sea winds, and powerful rivers, carving the lush mountains and valleys seen there today (Stone 2). Hawaii is the northernmost point of the huge triangle of Pacific Ocean islands of Polynesia. The Hawaiian islands extend from Kure Atoll in the northwest to the Big Island on the southeast, and Ka Lae on the Big Island is the southernmost point of the United States. The eight major islands are Hawaii (the Big Island), Maui, Oahu..."

From the Paper
" Hawaii today is the farthest west state in the Union. It is also the most unusual state in the United States, for it consists of 132 islands and atolls extended across some 1,600 miles of ocean. The eight major islands in the chain are what are usually referred to as Hawaii, and of these, seven are permanently inhabited--Kahoolawe is not (Kyselka & Lanterman, 1980, 1-10). As is true of many parts of the world, the Hawaiian Islands were actually "discovered" more than once. The islands were first discovered by the Polynesians who came to inhabit the region. The West discovered the islands centuries later when they were explored by Captain Cook, a rather controversial figure in Hawaiian history and in the history of exploration and discovery.
The first contact with Western ideas and technology came when Captain James Cook accidentally visited the islands with..."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Diabetes being a chronic ailment requires continuous treatment and care. Improper management of the disease would lead to complicated and even fatal medical conditions. The complications that arise out of diabetes can be greatly controlled with proper medical intervention. Particularly, type-2 diabetes can be kept under check by means of exercises, medicines, diet control, etc. Since the risk factors associated with type-2 diabetes can be controlled, it is important to minimize the impact of the disease by means of timely intervention. In this regard, the role of nursing care professionals is all the more pronounced. "The earlier that patients can intervene to (control blood sugar) the better effect they're going to get and the better long-term outcomes they're going to have.""

Abstract
The paper focuses on the artistic works of Gaye Chan, an artist, professor and chair of the Photography Program in the Department of Art at the University of Hawaii. The paper explains the layers of meaning behind Chan's "A Dot and a Line" (2003) and "Fragmente Delicto" (2002). The paper portrays how these works depict the tension between Western, immigrant and Hawaiian identity. The paper also shows how both works center on acknowledging and remembering immigrant and indigenous narratives and, in particular, how they relate to the location of Hawaii. The paper highlights Chan's contention that the acceptance of Western ideas of a "successful" life is forced upon Hawaiians and comes with a burdensome price. The paper appends color pictures.
From the Paper
"The majority of Hawaii's population consists of immigrants and their descendants, most of which were brought over from Asia as cheap laborers to work for the early colonist plantations. Hawaii's Asian community continues to grow, nourished by subsequent waves of Diaspora. Immigrant and Native narratives are abundant and unique but similar in dealing with oppression which inevitably shapes their identities congruous to hierarchies of power involving colonist and tourists. Consequently, a vast number of Asian immigrants and especially indigenous Hawaiians continue to be one of the most socially and economically disadvantaged groups in their own home in large part due to Hawaii's dependency on tourism, the second largest industry following the military. However, each community possesses a richness of lineage: the sacrifices and achievements of their ancestors searching for "success" in the new world."
