Why then, waste billions of taxpayers’ money on a solution that has previously shown it does not work? In South Africa, again, according to statistics from the KwaZulu-Natal Shark Board, “less than 18 per cent of marine life caught on drum lines in South Africa in the 2011 to 2012 financial year have been great white or tiger sharks” with animals mentioned in the above paragraph contributing to the other 78%.

In New South Wales and Queensland “there have been severe shark attacks on beaches that are protected by nets”, highlighting how wrongly this issue is being

Jimmy was diagnosed with bone cancer in 1992 and was given a scarce amount of time to live.

ASTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LANGUAGES AND SOCIAL SCIENCE: PRE-SESSIONAL MODULE LE2046 RESEARCH PROJECT PROPOSAL TOPIC ‘Google Plus’ Versus ‘Facebook’: A Social Networking Competition For Customer Loyalty Name: Yang CHEN Student Number: 119144846 Tutor: Richard Galletly Introduction It is commonly believed that Facebook is the most popular social network which is used by people worldwide (Gunelius, 2011) and it had over 750 million customers by June, 2011 (Facebook, 2011a & b).
