I am analysing Beneath Clouds within context to ‘Representing Australia’, and the key components relating to the text such as prejudice, racism and colonialism in Australia. In particular I will research the effects that colonialism has had on the new generation of Indigenous Australians . The text Beneath the Clouds; a journey of two teenagers in remote Australia, characters Lena and Vaughn are drawn together as their lives take the same path to Sydney. The debateable romantic relationship between the two is ambiguous, portraying an unspoken connection, with an approach toward aboriginal life, post colonialism, a colourful representation where I will also explore the effects of racism and prejudice from an adolescent standpoint. My research will focus on the
Describe why it is essential that the mentor has good communication skills Good communication is integral to the mentor-mentee relationship; therefore the ability to communicate effectively is essential. Mentoring involves a lot of discussions and open conversations between the mentor and the mentee, therefore the mentor should know how to effectively get the message across to the individual with ease. This is especially important during the giving of feedback to the mentee. The mentor must be able to relay feedback and remarks constructively and positively without demeaning the mentor’s self-esteem. Good communication skills, such as active listening and questioning skills are essential for the mentor to ensure that learner fully understand what being discussed.
Team B: Mellissa Smith 1. What went well in the project? What could have gone better? I thought the project work itself was fun, creating the reports and memos and other communication were great practice for the real world. I really enjoyed getting to know 2 of my team members whom I worked very closely with on this project and will keep in touch with after this class is long over.
Bias in the records has been noted in terms of geography, index offence, and ethnicity. What is not known, however, is the extent that the original 150 prisoners on the list, and thus those who were interviewed, are representative of the wider population of convicted violent gang members in prison. For example, a sample drawn from another city is firstly likely to have a differing ethnic composition. The desk research discussed how the ethnic composition of gangs tends to reflect the ethnic composition of the areas where they are based. Secondly, it may be the case that gangs have different experiences in different cities and regions.
The study sites included police departments in Omaha, Nebraska, Charlotte, North Carolina, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Miami, Dade County, Florida, and Colorado Springs, Colorado. The number of cases varied in each city. There was also a study initiated in Atlanta but it was never completed. The findings from the five completed replications were reported independently in 1990. The findings about crime control effects of arrest varied depending upon the site studied, the measures of repeat offending used, and alternative treatments compared to arrest.
Training and reflection will have positive effects for both the service user and the service provider. Reflective practice helps staff analyse complicated situations and help them make the best resolution. Analysing situations allow staff members to choose the best option that will benefit service users the most, allowing the care of them to be superior. Reflective practice also helps improve staff members’ problem solving skills. This means that the care of the service users will be improved since the staff are able to solve problems quickly and effectively.
Mentoring A Mentorship program provides an enormous benefit to all parties, especially the mentors and mentees that participate in the program. Mentoring consist of a variety of diverse methods and means of conducting the sessions, opening the door to a vast audience of participants. Time has proven that mentoring plays a significant role in shaping and developing young ones as well as opening new doors for career bounded individuals. Merriam-Webster defines a mentor as a friend of Odysseus, entrusted with the education of Odysseus’s son Telemachus (Webster, 2012). A mentor is also defined as a trusted counselor or guide, a tutor or coach (Webster, 2012).
