9/11 was one of these events. Ten years on, the world’s response to the attacks can be seen throughout many different areas of society. The western population as a whole are much more fearful of the possibilities of terrorism and the dangers of its followers. Border security in both Australia and the US is at its strictest; new terrorism legislation has been introduced in both countries and the media has become one of the most powerful social tools in communicating and shaping the news of the
Both, “A Rose for Emily” (1930) by William Faulkner and “Good Country People” (1955) by Flannery O’Connor were written and published towards the middle of the 20th century when the world suffered a lot of changes, especially the American society which started to dominate all the rest of the societies. On both stories the main characters are built through the symbolism, fiction and irony, and as a theme both of them are centered on the individuals represented by Emily and Hulga that are totally opposite to the society where they live into. As a support we can see the structure, the point of view and the characters themselves. If we check both main characters it is very obvious that they have the same kind of relationship with the society where they live and in contrast we can observe the differences in the plots of the stories. William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor are bringing on the scene main characters that have ideals challenged by the society.
The issue of asylum seekers is one that has been in the media over a very long time. However, in the past year Australia’s ‘push’ to stop asylum seekers has been present now more than it has been in the past. The recent introduction of the PNG deal and the new laws encircling the immigration this year has open up many more points of view and discussion.

Historians might be considered as the largest discourse community in the world. According to the statistics, there are more than 200 million scientists who work in this sphere. This community might be characterized by wide use of the official style, specific word usage according to the historical period which is described, and incorporation of historical documents and memories of eye-witnesses. The example of the manuscript, written by the member of this discourse community, is The Slave Ship by Marcus Rediker. Marcus Rediker describes The Slave Ship as "a painful book to write."
The referendum started with petitions which were calling for the referendum. The campaigners (known as the Federal council for Aboriginal Advancement) collected over 100,000 signatures, which were presented to the Parliament. This got the government thinking about equal rights for Aboriginals. Television and radio campaigns were released to the public to persuade the voters. The argument was based around the issues of Australia’s international reputation and the problems of certain State policies.
Do you agree with the view that the key role in uncovering political scandals and controversies has been played by journalists? (40 marks) Over many years the media have taken a deep interest into the affairs of the government and the scandals that arise, such as the MPs expense scandal and the cash for Honours scandal. The journalists have heavily reported both of these events. It is however arguable weather the media have played a key role in uncovering controversies, as there are other factors that contribute to this, such as the coming forward of a witness or even the publication of a book such as the “The right to know” by Clive Wearing which unveiled the Belgrano scandal. Source 13 and 15 agree with the statement that the journalist played a key role, source 14 disagreed that the journalist played a key role.

Hollinsworth, D (*1998*)*, ‘*Racism*: concepts, theories and approaches’ **Race and Racism in Australia, 2*nd* edn,* Social Science Press, Katoomba, NSW, pp-73-46 The perceptions of race and its shifting meanings are always changing which makes it quite hard to gain one single explanation or theory on the topic Hollinsworth (1998, p. 46). There are many different approaches in the way we can think about and interpret all of the different forms and expressions of racism. In the last few decades a new type of racism has surfaced which is being called ‘new racism’ which is a natural preference for one’s own kind, this ‘new racism’ does not claim biological superiority so denies any racism due to
Capote is after all a journalist. He gathered 8000 pages of research before writing this novel. Those pages included interviews with Perry, Dick, Perry sister, and the KBI, as well as the confession of Dick and Perry. In the novel it gives all the details of what Dick and Perry do down in Mexico, Dick passing hot checks, the interviews the KBI agents did, and the execution from Alvin Dewey’s perspective. This novel feels like many weeks worth of a journalists’ research printed in a newspaper before putting together into a novel.
