I have always been interested in working with other people and having the opportunity to communicate with others. Through communication people find out a lot of new information and share it with others as well. That’s why I have decided to become an educator in future. Teaching people is a constant process of teaching oneself too as every day we discover new things and new facts. But even more important is the following: being an educator we bring light into areas which need it, into special communities which have no access to studying and self-development in this particular ...

As a teacher in an Australian school with a particularly high number of low-income citizens and students, I am completely aware of the importance of cultural awareness and diversity when it comes to dealing with underserved populations, particularly aboriginal and indigenous students. One of the concepts I try to bring forth in my own teaching is transformational leadership , in which teachers provide a more collaborative and engaging environment for learning, cultivating skills instead of acting in a transactional, one-sided manner with students (Painter-Morland, 2008). When applying this to my particular education context, I believe transformational and emergent leadership can provide a greater level of ...

The poem by Robert Frost and the modern day song by George Strait portray the alternative path of life which is chosen by very less people. The artistic expressions express the nature of the way which is chosen by such people and also explore the possibilities which await the individual who opts for the path which is less traversed by people. Both the works have touched the hearts of innumerable people across the globe with the quintessence. While Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken exudes his poetic wizardry in the stanzas of the poem, George Strait’s The ...

Economic inequality Between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians

Introduction
Thought the last century, the subject of inequality has come to the fore. It seems that social, economic, racial, ethnic disparity became ubiquitous under the circumstances of economic and technical progress. While some countries take a course of rapid development, others remain behind. It happens not only on the political level but also within the country on the social scale. The emergence of perceptible economic inequality can now be observed in developed countries, and Australia is not an exclusion.
Historically, economic inequality strengthened disparities of income and living standards of the individual layers of the population, increased the ...

The essence of a health system is to promote and restore the health of the population (WHO, 2014).

The two major issues are limited experience by teachers in the teaching area of Indigenous Australian Studies and difficulties in adjusting to new technology in delivery of content to learners. A quantitative and qualitative research was carried ...

Introduction

A general notion that transcends through generations connotes that the source of an egalitarian society, in Australia, is in people’s refusal to accept malevolent classifications that tend to showcase some people as being superior to others. Nonetheless, this fight has been fruitful and Australia is an egalitarian society.

Australia the Fiercely Egalitarian Society

Argy (2005) starts by addressing issues that are currently threatening the egalitarian attitude in Australia noting that decreased mobility, rather than unequal income gap is a potential danger to the egalitarian society. Argy (2005) goes ahead to define an egalitarian society as a society that takes care of the poor among them ...

PART I: Writing short essays

a) Bering Strait
Bering Strait is a bridge located to the south of the Arctic Circle (Oliver, 2006). The bridge is important to the history of American Indians. It is said that the ancestors of the American Indians migrated across the land surrounding the bridge from Asia to America. However, this claim has been contradicted due to a number of reasons.
One reason is that the traditional religion of the American Indians gives a different story. Many religions tend to contradict what is recorded in history books (Oliver, 2006). The American Indians feel that they are being disregarded when people claim ...

Discussion on how on-going Government/ indigenous relationships illustrate history’s relevance to contemporary Australian politics.

Introduction
Discussion
Colonization, adaptation and resistance, changing government policies and the recognition struggle are some of the issues that have made the contemporary Australian politics the way they are (Hunt, 2013). Ongoing indigenous and government relationships show that the indigenous people are now able to access health facilities, get food, employment, education, land rights and housing. After the World War II many of the indigenous Australians migrated to urban areas in search of employment, health facilities, seeking involvement in justice systems, educational opportunities and sport. The migrating trend was both voluntary and involuntary. Involuntary migration happened when ...

The Punic Wars is a series of three wars between Rome and Carthage. It was called “Punic” since the Latin word for Carthaginian was Punici (Silvermann, 1996).

Antithesis – Taiwan’s Ineligibility Due To Historical Antecedents and Attributing Reasons

The PRC remains firm in its assertion that they are the sole legitimate ruling body that can lay claim over Taiwan. Historical antecedents provide the most compelling gist for the PRC’s framework in arguing that it has jurisdiction over the island. Jianming Shen, quoted as saying, “Taiwan has been part of China since ancient times” (2000, p. 1005), resolutely stands by the historical premise the mainlanders have stood by throughout their contest. For several times, rulers from the mainland renamed the island several times – a feat which highly ...

It encompasses beliefs, knowledge, morals, art, dressing, eating habits, customs, laws, and any other habits acquired by man as a member of a given society (Spencer, 2006).
