Caroline Chisholm knew well before publishing the pamphlets about the troubles and dangers of living in Australia but she carefully omitted them from the pamphlets. Hundreds of letters were received by Caroline requesting the desire to immigrate to Australia. She continued to preach the beauties and fantastic opportunities that lie waiting in Australia. Caroline Chisholm believed that women were the key to success for civilising Australia. Through the civilising effect of marriage and family, she believed it would improve and refine society.
They will be able to understand that not everyone fits in and is ‘popular’ at school, and how some are bullied because of it. But many of the concepts in ‘Cinnamon Rain’ will be foreign to the students, as they aren’t old enough, or have never been in that
ANZAC The Unauthorised Biography Anzac The Unauthorised Biography sheds light on the history surrounding the Anzac legend, with the moving away of the British Empire, to display of nationalism and ideals on the battlefield of Gallipoli. It then shows the other side with the decline of the Anzac legend, but also the political turmoil with the rise of left wing politics of Marxism and communism and the protesting of the Vietnam War. Holbrook states that many Australians believe that their nation was born on April 25 1915 on the beaches of Gallipoli instead of in Melbourne, Australia on January 1 1901. However, the Anzac Legend declined in prestige only to be revived once more. Australians have often sought recognition in war, where as our British counterparts merely tried to compare Gallipoli to Waterloo.
In some countries, women have been given the right to even run for the office of presidency, and men are not up in arms over a female not being in some type of veil. Although all this good has been done, and progress seems to be making its way into the Islamic radical traditions, some countries are still in the dark, and do not seem to be accepting new ideas very easily or even at all. Afghanistan, although with all the American presence in the country, has been able to fully accept a position of power for women. Women are not given an opportunity their and education is neglected in some
Whitlam was ineffective at understanding Sir John and gravely misread him, Whitlam expected Kerr to enforce his, and only his, judgements, as is the political convention in Australia. When questioned about his relationship with Sir John, he stated “[The Governor General must] unquestionably only act on the advice of the Prime Minister”. The Governor General has the power under the constitution to ignore the advice of the Prime Minister but it was convention that he followed it, and this convention had not been broken since federation. Another aspect of Kerr’s power that Whitlam overlooked was his ability to appoint and dismiss members of the government (section 64) and particularly his readiness to use this power. The convention here was not to invoke this power but Kerr broke the convention on the 11 November 1975, dismissing Gough and ending the Constitutional crisis
The Australian defense forces combined with American defense forces would easily be enough for us to no longer rely on Britan assistance. Moreover the last time the queen even bothered to visit Australia was the Commonwealth games in 2006 after the prior visit in 2002 held after the referendum to decide whether a republic was wanted in Australia. This referendum was lost by a mere 8%. One would only assume that after the recent royal wedding disgrace, the amount of Australians wanting a republic would be far
This text was extremely interesting and raised very important questions about Australia’s legal system by pointing out unfortunate faults. Sheehan has succeeded in bringing this issue to the public and displaying the unjust actions of the brothers and their persuasion of punishment. It leaves me angry and disappointed with our system and their inability to protect our own, but life is unjust it is unfair and hopefully we make it
This quote is a perfect illustration of how Jack’s sense of what a relationship should be like is irreversibly altered. It is evident that Jack Torrance’s problem is manifested differently than that of Edna Pontellier or Henry VIII but all the same, it is clear that his underlying issues make it extremely difficult for him to fit into a family and play a part in it normally. In the case of The Shining, there is indeed collateral damage even before any supernatural forces
These stereotypes result from lack of information on both sides, and can result in prejudice and discrimination. Alice encountered discrimination at high school. In the first instance she narrates, a teacher pointed out that Chinese people still believe in gods and goddesses. Rather than try to understand the relationship between religion and art
School wasn’t important to her and it wasn’t important to me” (76). It is easy to see that this statement holds significant truth when you look at how Rosa Lee raised her children. Looking at it this way can take some of the heat off Rosa Lee. Rosa Lee’s mother had a lot to do with her not being ready to be an active, successful person in society. If Rosa Lee never had a good role model, then how is she supposed to know how to be one?
