Polynesia

Polynesia is a subregion of Oceania, comprising a large grouping of over 1,000 islands scattered over the central and southern Pacific Ocean. The people who inhabit the islands of Polynesia are termed Polynesians and they share many similar traits including language, culture and beliefs.

The term "Polynesia" was first used by Charles de Brosses in 1756, and originally applied to all the islands of the Pacific. In 1831, Jules Dumont d'Urville proposed a restriction on its use during a lecture to the Geographical Society of Paris.

@xsara123 I agree western society is all work and money. People are too materialistic, no wonder the depression rate is so high. I think living a somewhat simplistic lifestyle in sync with nature would be awesome.

@hawaiian96chence You just described the West in a nutshell.

@xsara123 I mean, I swear when I get out of high school, I'm gonna move back to my hometown, go to college, become an environmental engineer and get the heck out of mainstream society. I'll do what I have to do, but eventually, I want to be able to live on my own terms.. which means helping the planet and its inhabitants, working for the benefit of all.. away from the greedy corporations that would easily destroy Earth if it meant being rich and powerful... ya know?

@xsara123 Yeah.. very true.. I'd have to say the same. For example, I love sports cars.. A LOT. BUT I would much rather have just a plain simple life in the woods or rainforest, living off the land-- than living in society going to work 9 hours a day in the city just so I can continue to be a slave to the system for my entire life.. all material interest... Make a lot of money by getting on top and not caring about anyone else, so by the time half my life is over I can finally live in luxury..

@StarseedLove To be honest, I love fancy cars and nice houses, but that's because I'm a very visual person, and I love architecture, as well as the feeling I get when driving a nice car. However, I wouldn't pursue any of that, at the cost of happiness. The way people get to the top these days, is a cutthroat business, and I don't approve of it. The mad rush to get money at "any" cost, disgusts me.

@xsara123 I agree wholeheartedly. I was born and raised in the western world, but I am going crazy trying to survive in it, the more I learn about how truly wicked it is. Everything western society is responsible for.. Capitalism.. feeding off other people's work to get to the top, make the most money, get the nice house and fancy car...God, it's disgusting. All I wish for is to be able to drink fresh water, good natural food, and breathe clean, uncontaminated air.. It's all I ask.

@KCHIEFTAN Yeah americans try to destroy our culture and drive us from our land. But we'll never leave Hawai'i is our home. Americans only care about one thing: Money! I hate the tourism here but it is the main force of our income. But i'd rather live in the old ways. Live off the land and stop destroying the aina. Can't beat natural beauty dawgg.
