I believe the establishment of a national curriculum is crucial to achieving the educational goals set out by MCEETYA. There have been attempts to nationalise the Australian curriculum dating back to 1968 by the Commonwealth government (Reid, 2005). In my opinion, to achieve progress and to meet international standards, the education system needs to “collaborate in a globalising world” (Reid, 2005). “The focus should be on developing a common curriculum that will enable all students to develop a broad and general knowledge of the world” (Cole, 2007,

Executive Summary Marketing plans are generally used as an overall business strategy for organizations, wherein the current market position and current strategies are discussed and further market opportunities are discussed. In this report, i will be providing an in-depth review of marketing strategies of Houzit, the famous chain of houseware stores in Brisbane Australia, and of two marketing opportunities that the organization can avail in order to be more successful in its future endeavours. The steps that need to be undertaken by Houzits in order to achieve its goals and organizational objectives are also recommended as part of the Marketing Plan, as well as the strategic direction the organization must ensue to generate its required rate of revenue. Houzit is mainly a homeware chain of stores that can be found in Brisbane, and that has slowly become a household name in all sub-urban and urban homes in the city. The organization is considered to be the provider of efficient and cleanly designed products that have had a large impact on the way homemakers shop, and received such recognition that the store was made into a chain in order to fulfil the needs of a larger consumer market.

Because of this, I predict that any future involvement in touch football will be limited. A study conducted by the Australian Institute of Sports found that most school students aged from 12 - 16 have a high rate of participating in sports. However from the age of 17 - 22, the rate drops significantly and gradually decreases [2]. This may suggest that many of these people have higher commitment to academic studies and do not have the time to participate in any further club
Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms offer many advantages for Aboriginal people over traditional court proceedings. “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities should be able to implement models in their own communities, which recognise traditional cultural values and traditional structures of decision making.” (Behrendt 1995, p.6) Behrendt also argues that alternative methods of dispute resolution should be developed that embody the cultural values of Indigenous people and are perceived as acceptable by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, these would be ideally and necessarily be developed by the Aboriginal communities themselves. “In Australia, Indigenous peoples recognise that real change in our situation requires a fundamental shift in the structures of power which will allow Indigenous people to regain control over their own lives.” (Poynton 1994, p.68) Dodson who is the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner also argues “Genuine change will only occur when there is a genuine redistribution of
The article “No Babies” by Russell Shorto discusses how the population in Europe is drastically decreasing because the low birth rate and higher death rate. He discusses how the birth to death rate is very unbalanced as well, which is a result of the declining population. European culture is feared be lost due to the fact that the majority of the European population is mainly made up of older generations and few younger. In the article Population “7 Billion”, Robert Kunzig discusses how the population worldwide is increasing drastically. He discusses that although the population is growing, our planet may not have all the resources it needs to accommodate the growing population.
“Strategic position is concerned with the impact the external environment, the organisations strategic capability, the organisation’s goals and the organisation’s culture impact on strategy.” (Johnson et al. 2008) This text will look to analyse all aspects of strategic position and will draw on the information provided in the case study as well as relevant academic literature that surrounds the area of strategic marketing from the likes of, Porter (1985); Johnson et al (2014) and Hooley et al (2014) to provide Mango with justifiable and reasoned strategies to secure them a sustainable competitive Global position. Environmental Analysis Firstly, In order to gain insights into the medium –to-longer-term developments of the industry, it is necessary to explore the broader environment context (Faulkner and Bowman 1995)so to understand the key drivers of change within an industry (Johnson et al. 2012). PEST Analysis Doole and Lowe (2005) encourage a PEST analysis (see appendix 1) as it allows organisations to identify the key factors that might in turn affect a number
Feldman tells us: “(m)iddle adulthood is generally a healthy period, but people become more susceptible to … arthritis, diabetes, and hypertension, and they have a higher death rate than before. However, the death rate among people in middle adulthood in the United States has been steadily declining” (2011, p. 506). Middle adults of higher socioeconomic status have fewer incidents of disease and middle adults of lower socioeconomic have more incidents of disease (Feldman 2011). People gain weight, decline in height and strength, and the lens of the eyes change causing diminished night vision; middle adults, also, experience declines in near vision and awareness of three dimensions (Feldman 2011). Also, cases of glaucoma, one of the diseases that causes blindness, increases during middle adulthood; hearing ability also declines, this involves being unable to pick some high-frequency sounds and some loss of “sound localization” (Feldman, 2011, p.505).
Unfortunately they usually make fun them. It’s sad but true. It’s estimated that 3 out of every 100 people are born with some type of mental disability, but yet our society has not yet learned how to deal with this population. Perhaps it’s because the public doesn’t know how to treat these people. It is reported that 3 to 4 per 1,000 people are mentally retarded (Ellis, 1986).
