This question brought about the thesis of his book, that environment is more persuasive on development of civilization than people may have once thought. In the first chapter of Guns, Diamond establishes two main arguments that will become crucial to his thesis later on in the book. First, he goes in depth about mass extermination and further extinction of large mammals that occurred in New Guinea and Australia which were important for food and domestication, and secondly he argues that all the first civilized peoples in the world each had the ability to out develop one another, but were hindered or helped by their environment. Diamond continues to provide evidence for his thesis that environmental factors play a

The article ‘Our king-hit culture keeps on swinging’ is an article written by David Penberthy on the 23rd of October 2012 for ‘The Punch’ newspaper. This response is in relation to the recent increase in king-hits throughout Australia. His contention in the article to the readers, is to persuade them to rally with him and make a patriotic stand against the term ‘king-hit’ and to try and convince them also that the justice system is failing to respond to these ‘crimes’. He does this by using a wide variety of tones, such as non-dynamic, reasonable, and rational tones throughout the piece. He also uses persuasive language techniques throughout his piece, including adjectives, emotive appeals, colloquialism and heaps of textual evidence.

In many cases, these migration theories can be combined and should be incorporated for a more complete understanding. Theories of migration are significant in many ways; they can help us understand population movements within their wider political and economic contexts. Ravenstein, an English geographer, used census data from England to develop the "Laws of Migration" in 1889. He concluded that migration was made possible by a "push-pull" process; where unfavorable conditions in one place (oppressive laws, heavy taxation, violence, poverty and education) "push" people out from their birth place while more favorable conditions in another location "pull" them out; the best noted example to Americans is a term coined “The American Dream”. The primary cause for migration
Migration has had a huge impact on Australia in particular, since the Gold Rush; many people arrived from all over the world. From the large amounts of people from other countries, specifically the large amount of Chinese, the ‘White Australia Policy’ became effective and the Chinese and other non-British/English migrants were banned from migrating to Australia. Then from the 1950’s, Australia decided to change this policy and become a multicultural society. Multiculturalism is where there is a diversity of cultures, and migrants choose to keep their own traditions. The multicultural approach attempts to create unity for the diversity of cultures to share their heritage and also be treated with equality.
