Kelli Mack Professor J. Bradshaw U.S. History 201 October 1, 2014 Common Sense vs. The Declaration of Independence Throughout history, propaganda has been used in order to influence the public’s opinion on various topics. It has been proven effective throughout history, leading up to some major changes in society. Thomas Paine’s Common Sense and Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence are both examples of the efficiency of propaganda throughout history. Although they shared several similarities, Common Sense and The Declaration of Independence had their differences.
Compare how two speeches position their audience to respond in a particular way to the ideas contained in the speech. A great speech is able to connect with audience whilst compelling audiences to reassess old societal and personal paradigms. Paul Keating’s ‘Funeral service of the unknown Australian soldier’ and Faith Bandler’s ‘Faith, hope and reconciliation’ positions the audience through employing both metatextual and textual elements to affirm with different perspectives in their respective speeches. Keating’s ideal of a cultivated, united Australian identity and Bandler’s ideals of reconciliation appeal to different audiences, yet both speeches appeal to our logical reason and our emotions to draw us into their speech and positions us
One of the ways in which he achieved this was to give insight into the background of each of the characters. This added a richness and depth to the narrative that could only have been done through extensive research. He is careful to give reasons for the attitudes and reactions of the people involved. Such was the case with Neylan, the story’s antagonist. Blauner traces his turn to extreme conservatism back to the time of the New Deal policies of the
Mariam Giday Ms. Dyal Accelerated English 2/20/2014 Galapagos: Yay or Nay? In any piece of writing the purpose, and author greatly affect the tone of the writing. In the two passages provided there is definitely a divide in perspective of the islands, this I believe is because they both serve different purposes. The Galapagos Islands had been previously discovered but at this time the thirst for expansion and discovery was great. So as with any new discovery, people were trying to figure out their potential .The first description seems to be from a scientific standpoint, while the second is from a more leisurely and opinionated standpoint, however they both have similar aspects.
The subject I chose is somewhat controversial as it challenges the cultural beliefs of many and finding information not tainted by misrepresentation was always going to pose a challenge. The First site I used in my research www.webmd.com this is an American
A great speech, when delivered, will stir up different perspectives within its audiences, leaving the responder’s questioning some aspects of their own beliefs. Two examples of such speeches include Paul Keating’s ‘Funeral Service of the Unknown Australian Soldier’ and Noel Pearson’s ‘An Australian History for us all’. In 1993, the concept of the Australian identity was continually being questioned, reflected by reconciliation and the Land Title Act. Both Keating and Pearson present these ideas through their speeches, their common perspectives of the Australian identity being reflected in their use of repetition, strong, powerful language and other rhetorical devices. Although each leader shares common ideas, their approaches in presenting these ideas differ greatly.
For me to become critically reflective in my practice with ex-offenders and beyond, taking my learned experiences into the housing sector field, I will use the Driscoll model of reflection; What, So What, Now What. This may be a simplistic tool but it is one, which encourages and enables critical examination throughout ones career at all levels and stages. ‘to develop, through a process of thinking and looking at your own practice in a metaphorical mirror will heighten your levels of critical evaluation and self-awareness’ Barbara Bosot 2013, The Reflective journal, pub Palgrave Macmillan My aim in using a reflective model for communication is to put myself at the core of learning, developing to my full potential, by not just responding reflectively to a situation but also to how I ‘feel’ in the situation. I will hopefully gain insight to similar situations for future reference and change
Communication is the key. My group, in time, will interview the members of the community, and the article “Gathering Data in the Field” will be valuable information to keep in mind. It is important for us to see that “conducting a rich, informative interview requires strong questioning and listening skills as well as finely honed observation skills” (pg.116). If we plan on making a difference in the Tzunania community, we should make sure that we are well-rounded interviewers. In order to understand someone you have to see that person’s perspective and when trying to interview one person or a large group of people, that can only be done if the interview is in-depth.
The case studies of “Guantanamo Bay” and “Indigenous Australians” will be used to explore the importance of having Bill of Rights in Australia. In addition, I will also use some examples such as not having sufficient human rights in Australia to prove the need to have Bill of Rights in Australia. In Ozdowski’s journal article “Why We Need an Australian Bill of Rights Now”, Ozdowski argued that Australia needs a Bill of Rights. He believed that the Bill of Rights should be statutory but not constitutional. In Australia for example, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) have adopted a statutory Bill of Rights.
Week 1 - Introduction to Contemporary Aboriginal Issues A Royal Commission This course reflects of a range of subjects including the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (outlined below). It is important that you seek to understand issues that relate to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Some of the information that we have included in this course may be sensitive and you may need to do extra study to develop your understandings of the reasons for these matters. It is important also that you are able to develop some understanding of yourself, your culture and your community. For many of us, we are often not challenged by our privilege, what this course attempts to do in part, is to get you to think about where
