Australia Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

I agree with the sediments that for any company to come into existence in Australia it must be registered with Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). This is to mean that any company that is not registered with ASIC in Australia trades illegally. Just like any other nation ASIC gives companies in Australia a go ahead to trade. Besides, I also agree with the fact that a company which has limited liability, it members are not liable for any debts of the company in case of liquidation. However, the liability of the members is limited to the number of the shares ...

Introduction

The current aging population is presenting a very serious economic challenge. This is very well evidenced in most of the research documents, and it gives us some right on how we are to perceive this whole perspective. When we commence asking ourselves about some questions such as who is responsible for the care of the Americans who are aging then we will begin to appreciate the relevance of this whole concept. As of now, the ultimate answer is no one specifically. This brings forth the social disaster that could be facing us. In this respect, this paper seeks to reconnoiter ...

Should Declining Fertility Rates be a Cause for Concern in Australia?

Australia has experienced a decline in fertility rates since the 1960s when the fertility rate peaked. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the total fertility rate has remained below the replacement level since 1976 (ABS 2013). ABS also observed that women of all ages, occupation, or education level are having fewer children now than in the past. Another research dubbed “Battering the Evaluation of Care Health (BEACH)” revealed that 1.3 per 1000 encounters in hospitals between 2007 and 2012 were attributed to infertility (Britt, Harrison & Zhang, 2012) Majority, 81.6% of the infertility cases were reported in women. The ...

Homo-sexuality is not a new concept in Australian culture. According to Norah, initiated men in Aranda, central Australia married boys of age between ten to twelve years. The real issue is not about the existence of homosexuality, but whether it is likely to be decriminalized. Already there are signs that Australia is gearing up to fully accepting gay rights. Recently, a motion was passed to legalize gay marriages in the Australia Capital Authority. This is a vindication of how comfortable political systems are embracing the concept. Consequently, there is a high likelihood that Australia will legalize gay marriage in line with liberal views.

Australian citizenry experienced tremendous transition from white majority to multiculturalism. At least three factors have led to this dynamism and they include politics, race and culture (Cox, 2010). The history of Australia dates back to January 1st 1901, when the country came into existence as well as a self-governing entity (Dunn et al, 2010). In the early 19th Century, Australian viewed themselves as pre-dominant Anglo-Saxon emigrants. This was the foundation of an Australian citizen, which explains their distinct physical manifestation, culture and racial features (Cox, 2010). This inevitably led to the introduction of Immigration Restriction Act 1901, which became the ...

Introduction

Australia is a nation that is well known to have people of different ethnic backgrounds due to immigrations from various countries and international students. When a country or community has people of different ethnicity there are bound to have their own traditions and customs thus will bring about culture shock when interacting with one another. Australia has been faced with a lot of racial discrimination claims from the beginning when the white settlers entered the country. The original occupants of Australia were the aborigines and the Torres Strait Islander. It is a well known fact that Australia is known for their harsh and ...

Discuss the contemporary public debate about some forms of foreign investment in Australia and provide your advice on whether the government should adopt stricter controls to address these concerns
Australian policies and engagements with other global states have been beneficial to the country’s economic, political, and social development. Job security and economic development in Australia have largely been increased by the country’s ability to sell its products in various parts of the world especially in Asia and European countries (Narlikar, 2010, p.79). Studies on Australian market affirms that international agreement has not only helped in marketing ...

Rabbit Proof Fence, a film that moves the souls of human beings is a real life heartbreaking story of three little girls set in the 1930’s that shows how the aborigine children were taken against their will from Jigalong and made to work for white families as servants or maids. Rabbit-Proof Fence provides a fundamental illustration of Australian aboriginal children and women as victims, and the government viewing them as passive with no individuality or culture. The concept of empowerment in culture is well defined by Banet-Weiser (Reading Popular Culture through Feminism, May 28 2013) where they argue that the emphasis ...

Dead Island: Riptide is a computer game that entails a lot of violence. It is fundamentally an action role-laying video game, it is also considered a horror video game that surrounds the protagonist. The games logo has a picture of a hanging zombie with the title of the game written beside it in blood. The game was developed by Techland. The game’s trailer depicts graphic violent scenes. In one scene, zombies tries to get into the boat, they smash windows and more zombies arrive. The implied death of the two protagonists of the story is very violent almost traumatic.

Operational Factors

These factors majorly concerns three aspects of an industry or company’s work. They include the work processes, employee training and scheduling of employees’ and machinery tasks. In this case study, the operational factors that can be identified include scheduling and validation testing. The validation tests that were required to be done for the supply of the grain to different countries were different and they were to be observed. Additionally, the exporting country had to schedule the loading processes such that the traces of carmoisine could only be found in the appropriate cargo. When these were breached, the operational ...

Article Review: “Whatever happened to the classless society?”

This article (McCamish, Aug 2009) questioned the popular view that Australian society is classless, citing a number of examples of attitudes that suggest that view is not valid. The first example is of a “superior” young woman thrust into an ordinary public school, where she finds the other “povvo” (playground slang for the poorer type of people) girls way beneath her, describing them as “skanks.” McCamish suggested that whilst class differences do exist in Australia, for most people they are not considered important as (say) in Great Britain.
Much of McCamish’s article discusses Australian class differences in terms of ...

Sustainability is crucial to achievement of most objectives for companies, especially with the current move towards globalization. It’s a value that most companies have had to incorporate into their visions and core statements, and one which needs to be culturally based. It’s also true that sustainability calls for teamwork, since an individual or even one organization cannot achieve it on its own.

2 Topic
The article is based on the importance of laws and regulations in controlling domestic violence in Australia. Domestic abuse can have a severe and lasting mental, emotional, physical as well as financial impact on a victim. Considering the prevalence of the issue in the Australian society, the laws pertaining to domestic violence will play a crucial part in not only controlling the rise of its incidence but also checking the recurrence of pre-existing cases. In order to explain the ramifications of domestic abuse, the author relies on a fictional person named Anna who is abused by Chris, her ...

ALDI’s Expansion in Australia

Aldi’s is a foreign-owned (German) mid-sized supermarket chain that offers food as well as electrical products and other varieties of goods. It has not required the huge retail space of the big box department stores. In 2009 Aldi reported plans of expansion in Australia due to the success the business had encountered there. Aldi has its own private label and the prices coupled with the label have proved popular with Australian customers. By June 2009 Aldi’s had “built two distribution centers near Sydney and Victoria along with a product development and quality assurance center in Minchinbury, New South Wales. ...

Inclusive Education in Australia

Introduction
Inclusive education (IE) implies that all students join and be received by their schools in regular classes and are all supported to learn. This entails all the involved aspects in the running, operating, and participating in the activities of a school. In Australia, IE is operated on a countrywide basis where all students irrespective of their condition are al enrolled in the schools (Anderson, & Boyle, 2015). According to the article, the burden of supporting this education system has increased as a diversified population of students is supported by this system. As such, the eight jurisdictions within the country ...

Abstract

Vocational Education and Training (VET) is a fairly new educational concept that teaches the students skills required for performing a particular job[ CITATION Yin06 \l 1033 ]. In the last few decades Vocational Education and Training has changed focus from simply preparing the students for jobs that demanded less than a degree to a broader preparation that incorporate academic, vocational and technical skills development for more competitive professions or advanced degree[ CITATION Yin06 \l 1033 ]. Socioeconomic as well as political forces have contributed to major changes in the Vocational Education and Training system in Australia. With the diversification of the economy there is increasing ...

The two poems, “Song of the Darling River,” by Henry Lawson and “Australia,” by A.D Hope widely addresses issues of Australia as a land and country. The poets employ various stylistic devices that vividly describe how the country alongside its landscape looks like. From a reader’s point of view, the poems not only address the physicality of Australia as a nation, but go further to describe some of the most critical details of the country (Harrison 31). A very good example as seen in the poem is that Australia; just like any other country was once under colonial ...

Introduction

Regional policy and innovation in the Asia/Pacific region has been of great interest to me since the class began studying the region. I have spent a considerable amount of my life living in this region, so the perspectives about the region that were introduced in chapters three and four gave me a new and different understanding of and perspective on the ways that innovation and policy are developed in the East Asian countries of the world. Interestingly, a more global perspective on development has really added to my interest in the region and the market forces that are moving ...

called and held to account

Introduction

Traditional models of accountability, primarily those of elections and legislative scrutiny, are no longer sufficient in holding governments accountable. While Emy and Hughes (1988) argue that accountability dilemmas have been long standing within ministerial government, they see accountability failures as an indication of mechanisms corrupted by political interest. The rise of new social movements is a strong indication of the collective desire of citizens to interrupt the “chain of accountability”. The desire to influence political decision makers is a reflection of a growing assumption that the democratic deficit facing most western governments requires experiments ...

Understanding Monopolies: News Corp

Introduction
News Corporation is a media conglomerate of media publishing houses, including the publication of newspapers, magazines and books, the production and distribution of promotional and advertising products and the development of digital publishing. The Corporation has a number of business interests, including a few major sports teams. The history, relevance and analysis of News Corp would invariably revolve around its iconic and often controversial owner, Australian-born Rupert Murdoch (Corporate Watch).

Management: Process Evaluation

- The link between the performance of an organization and its effective management of the human resource cannot be underestimated. Different research works and studies including those done by Hawthorne have attempted to chart a logical connection between the two significant variables. Information on the performance of an organization is usually obtained from the Human Resource Managers (Cascio & Boudreau, 2011). The human resource has many advantages in management. The competitive advantage of an organization is penned on the proper, efficient and effective handling of the people working. The human resource advantage is a combination of the policies, processes and practices that ...

Businesses continuously look for new markets. Before committing resources to investment in a new market or launch fresh product or service, careful analysis of the market is necessary. The study focuses on the factors that are beyond the control of the business yet have a major effect on its success or failure (50MINUTES.COM. et al., 2015). In the case of Giant TMC Berhad, the three most important macro environmental factors to consider are political, economic and technological.

The Western Australian Arthritis & Rheumatism Foundation (WAARF) is a non-profit organization based in Australia which was initiated in the year 1972 by Dr. Phyllis Goatcher, Evan Owen and Roger Dawkins. In the year 1991, it changed its name to the current form. Its formation objectives were care, education, research to reduce incidences and effects of arthritis and other musculoskeletal diseases. At first, it lacked a home and operated at a grant home in Murray St. offered by ANZ Bank. In 1994, the organization held a Capital Fundraising Appeal and managed to construct a Resource Center which was named after Mr. Bill Wyllie as a sign ...

Times change and so do cultures, sometimes people get expose to a new culture and get to drop theirs as they get themselves acculturated to others which seem better or more unifying. Such is the case that happens in present day society where popular culture appears to override traditional indigenous cultures of different societies from across the world. That is mainly reflected in the poem Unearthed, which is written by Ali Cobby Eckermann. The main theme presented in this poem is focused on the maltreatment of the native Aboriginal people of Australia. That is especially seen through the poetic ...

Question 1: What is the value of cultural awareness and sensitivity training for psychologist? Discuss

Globally, psychologists interact with clients who emanate from a background characterized by diversity in terms of ethnicity, linguistic orientation and cultural establishment. They work in varied environments and under different conditions. Generally, their experiences differ considerably. Their effectiveness is dependent on a host of factors. These range from the skills and knowledge that they have to experience in this particular field of specification. To knowledgeably and acceptably perform their duties, it cannot be disputed that psychologists have to endow themselves with sufficient knowledge and skills. However, of great importance in the current, diverse work environment is their ability to deal with ...

Description
Globalisation is often regarded as a process that leads people from around the world to share a common economic, emotional, social and cultural space from wherever they are in the world (Guidotti, 2015). Nowadays everybody is affected either directly or indirectly. As the world continues to integrate on this front, it emerges that there arises benefits and problems in equal measure because in the long run there will be a sharing of economic, cultural, political and environmental powers among many nations of the world (McMichael & Butler, 2006).

Introduction

Recently, the role of a managerial accountant is widely discussed in the scholars. Johnson and Kaplan (1991) argue that management accounting is “too late, too aggregated, and too distorted to be relevant for managers’ planning and control decisions” (1). Haedr (2012) considered the mediation effect of management accounting information on motivation using contingency theory stating that “MAI usefulness accounts for a full (i.e. complete) mediation effect only on the relationship between centralization and MCS effectiveness.” (n.p.). As the number of views cannot present a unified opinion on the matter, the purpose of the current paper to reveal whether the functions of the ...

Overview of Abdomen

The abdomen is assessed using inspection, auscultation and palpation (White 2005). The abdomen is inspected for size and symmetry and is normally rounded, symmetric, protuberant, and soft because of weak abdominal musculature with a slightly greater diameter above the umbilicus than below. The subcutaneous blood vessels in the abdomen may appear distended and blue (Williams & Wilkins 2006).

Abdominal assessment is complex, largely because of the many vital organs and blood vessels within the cavity of abdomen and its life-sustaining functions, such as digestion and elimination that are performed here (Weber & Kelley 2009). The abdomen houses the several body ...

Introduction

Rising levels of industrialization in Australia has led to increased demand for energy by both the domestic and commercial sectors of the economy. This is due to the fact that energy providing companies are parent firms to numerous firms especially in the manufacturing, processing and motor industries. As a result, it has been stated that energy is the vehicle for driving the economy to heights of economic growth and development. Without energy, rates of economic growth and development would stagnate or even drop in severe circumstances. However, in recent times, there have been intensified calls for energy companies to produce ...

International relations experience radical changes in how security is conceptualized. Traditional studies of inter-state relations typically define security in military 1 and determinism 2 or fear and conflict 3. However, in light of recent international developments, particularly in a post-Cold War era, non-state actors are increasingly viewed as fundamental in international relations not only between but also within states 4. The case for security is lent further urgency, moreover, due to an increasing privatization of military skills in an international market of corporate warfighting 5. This is not to mention notable gaps in women's roles during war – gaps which highlight ...

Organization Behaviour

1 Task 2 - Analyse the scenario
Motivation is the force that drives people into action and encourages them to exert more effort towards carrying out something. Employees who are well motivated are more comfortable and will have feelings of happiness and fulfilment. Johansson and Heide (2008) points out that besides, being well motivated workers tend to produce high-quality results and are more productive than their counterparts. In the case study, the workforce is less. They are overwhelmed in the course of their duty. They are not able to work overtime because their terms of service are contractual. The ...

What skills credit managers possess in order to manage the credit function efficiently?

Credit Management:Credit management is the process of collecting and controlling payments from the customers. Credit management is one of the functions of the banks or companies to control credit policies, to improve the revenues and reduce financial risks (Burt, 2004). A good credit management system is an essential part of an organisation, as it reduces the amount of capital tied up with the debtors and minimise the company’s exposure to the bad debts and doubtful debts, it is also important when considering the cash flow, as it is profitable for the company, and also helps the business to ...

List the three nutrient cycles present in an ecosystem.

Nutrient cycles are also called as biogeochemical cycles as they help convert the elemental form of essential minerals into biochemical form for utilization by living organisms. The three important nutrient cycles of the ecosystem are the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle and the phosphorous cycle.
Nitrogen has a vast atmospheric abundance but is not present in a useable form for many organisms. Nitrogen fixers convert nitrogen into ammonium and nitrates to be taken up by plants and passed onto animals.
Phosphorous is the integral part of the building blocks of nucleic acids, ATP and lipids that make up the ...

Anderson’s 21st Century model takes into consideration so many processes, the people involved and most importantly the environment at which these two operate. Within its operations provisions, the model suggests the various ways through which a company can contribute to the well being of a community by directly involving the people, make sure resource management is ensured and most importantly generate profits while at the same time keeping the environment clean and conducive, and without having to contribute in depletion of natural resources. It focuses more on the stakeholders including consumers and suppliers which are considered as the key contributors ...

What is TPA?

Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) refers to the process which has been made available by the Congress to the President of United States in order to enable legislation for the purpose of approving and implementing specific trade agreements on an international level under the legislative procedures for a limited time. This authority has been granted to the President for more than three decades which states that he has the authority to vote on the trade agreements without making any amendments. In other words, TPA plays a role in providing a balance by clearly identifying how constitutional authority is exercised by the Congress while ...

In political science, there are three levels of analysis, individual level, which is people make policy, state level is where the state makes policy and the system level which is the international arena where behaviors are encouraged or discouraged (Dooley & Patten 337). The three systems can be applied to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. It was believed then that Iraq and Saddam Hussein were a threat to the peace o the United States and the world because it was alleged to support Al-Qaida and the 9/11 attacks.

It is now recognized that new teachers need mentors to help them transition from the classroom and student teaching experiences to the professional role of teachers and their new responsibilities. Whereas during their training student teachers were supported and forgiven for lapses or errors while under the supervision of a senior teacher, now these new teachers are required to take both the praise and criticism of parents, principals and superintendents. In addition, there has been a recently developed movement in the U.S. of teaching based on standardized testing to insure that each grade learns the same material no matter where the ...

A marginal youth group can be identified as a group of youth who have been identified by social workers as potential clients. Such groups exhibit some form of problem behavior or participate in some form of delinquent activities (Ngai et al, 2001). The police and private security guards are meant to provide security to the community and identify and protect the rights of these marginalized youth groups. However, the people who have the mandate to safeguard the rights of these groups are often seen as the violators of their rights. This is done by high handedness and implementation of laws ...

Introduction

In advanced nursing, acute care of pregnant women is an important part. The challenge that is common in this field of nursing is that the nurse must consider the wellbeing of the developing fetus in addition to that of the mother before taking any interventions. One of the first cases I handled was that of Mr. & Mrs. Peterson. I met Mrs. Jessica Peterson, 31 while she was 4 months pregnant after she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus. From her medical records, this was her second pregnancy with the first one having ended in a miscarriage ...

In a learning institution, it is imperative that students are monitored so as to tell their progress. The supervisors can apply either the informal or the formal monitoring systems. The Australian National University (Para 1) indicates that formal monitoring strategies can include presentations where the students present their findings in seminars or conferences. There are also the periodical tests which are every crucial in telling the strengths and weaknesses of the students. Mid-candidature presentations as well as internal surveys to detect student satisfaction also come in handy. These are good formal ways to test their progress. There are also the ...

Process: System Implementation and support

Health care practices based on evidence are currently readily available for a number of health care issues like heart failures, asthma, and diabetes. Unfortunately, these practices do not always get implemented in healthcare delivery, and related practices bounded by the same (Houser & Oman, 2011). Formerly, the main focus of any research dealing with healthcare was to enhance analysis of data in order to identify safety concerns of the patient and to show likelihood of arriving at advanced quality and patient safety.

There is much less attention given to practice implementation. It is important to note that by putting emphasis ...
