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 ...

Never a spontaneous phenomenon, racism seems sparked often as an ideological view. Unlikely though it may sound, the white liberal government instituted what continued for over 40 years. Characterized by segregation and violence in response to any opposition, the order came to its end. While in the transitional period, the country established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the restoration of national unity. Obviously, national reconciliation is possible only through racism eradication since it is racial bias that is at the root of the national disunity and bellicosity. Much as the commission utilized a number of tools towards this ...

Generation gap has been a widely discussed topic because of its significant impact on work, family and social relationships. The issue started being discussed during the post war era when globalization and multiculturalism were taking root in society. In most situations where a generation gap exists, the older generation always holds relatively more conservative opinions, while the younger generation is more accepting of their current worldview, and this evidently introduces conflict between the two generations (). The unique historical background of Taiwan notwithstanding, the country (region) has also had generation gap as one of the most challenging social problems after ...

Even though I felt uncomfortable, I managed to visit four churches in the city; Soka Gakkai International (Buddism), Cape Bible Chapel, Seventh-day Adventist Church, and First Baptist Church, respectively.

What is one of the major goals of art? Art reflects the society and a battle between the external world and the human inward. For instance, fashion is much more than just clothes; it is a reflection of a person through the prism of his mental world, knowledge, and emotion, and, what is more important, a way of communication. And photography, in turn, is also much more than just beautiful, or strange pictures. Given the subjective nature of its creation, what do photographs offer the viewer? Photography challenges the audience to search for truth, “in a fragmented, ...

Colonialism is one of the most actual issues of the modern historical science. The formation of colonial regimes entailed profound changes in the economic situation of the African population and reflected in the nature and way of their management. The British and French colonial models were quite different, but I am not sure whether it will be correct to say that colonies were only raw appendages of the empires and got nothing in exchange. The process of colonization of Africa has become widespread in the second half of the XIX century, especially after 1885 and the beginning of the ...

Throughout time, the definition of heroism has undergone a very great change. Where once heroes were seen as brave and fearless warriors who plunged into the danger of battle with swords and spears, now heroes are defined in many different ways and in much broader terms. However, even with the passage of time and societal advances, the basic underlying traits of a hero remain essentially the same. Heroes are those who have the courage to face dangerous situations and risk of harm; put the needs and wants of others above their own; and either defend or attack in order ...

Psychology

Project Topic: Bandura’s Self-Efficacy Theory Albert Bandura, born in 1925, is one of the leading psychologists of the twentieth century. His contribution to the field of psychology rests on his viewpoint that behavior is learned and formed in a social learning context. He stresses that virtually all forms of behavior can be learned without experiencing any reinforcement. In Bandura’s approach, the self is not some psychic agent that determines or causes behavior. Rather, the self is a set of cognitive processes and structures concerned with though and perception. Self-efficacy is an important aspect of the self (Schultz & ...

Each and every piece of art is being connected to some particular period of history: to its key events, to its main personalities. The appearance of the photography has made the artists’ reactions onto some particular events even more intense, as it gave them much more freedom for the creation. Nowadays, one of such key issues of the modern world is the terrorism and each artist sees this issue differently, putting his or hers own sense in it. What do pictures tell the viewer? First of all, they teach to think and to try to find some hidden elements ...

1.0. Introduction Broadly, leadership is divided into two distinct categories in terms of leader’s behaviour, his way of dealing with his subject or others, his way of motivating others, etc. These two categories include Heroic and Post-Heroic leadership. Theory of heroic leadership belongs to classical approach to this consideration where leaders used to be all in all and led through full command. There was a widespread and generalized trend of “hero-worship” (Lowney, 2003). Some vital examples of it stand Alexander the Great, Aristotle, Plato, etc. However, post-heroic leadership, though passive as compared to heroism, is an evolved form ...

Do we need that Endangered Species Act?

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 was an innovative measure for the future of nature and continues to protect the diversity of the animal and plant kingdom of the United States. This law is important to the survival of all living things because every living organism depends on the life of another living thing to survive, including humans. Aquatic species in Florida are essential for the health of the environment in which it lives. For example, because all creatures and plants depend on each other for survival, when one species is allowed to become extinct, all other species in ...

In the 15th century, the population of the Europe grew tremendously. This gave a chance for a class of merchants to emerge; they bought expensive jewels and silk, and would spice their dried meat with cinnamon or pepper (English Online).

Henry David Thoreau writes about a shipwreck in Cape Cod in the first chapter which is titled The Shipwreck. He is successful in describing nature which is magnificent yet hostile towards humans. This nature is awe-striking and causes people to feel the grandeur of its power. The nature is much different than from the domesticated one in Concord especially because of the ocean which is a true force of nature. Many ships sink in this place, but people are not so surprised or horrified by this because the natural forces are the ones which prevail and towards which a ...

Discovery of Americas and its Impact on Commerce, Navigation, and Industrialization

Introduction The European exploration efforts and the subsequent discovery of the Americans was in the simplest terms, a capitalistic venture. Of course, it was accidental, but its primary goal had been to find a new sea route to the orient. The European desire to make more profits by cutting out the Arabs and Turkish nations from the trade is typical of any capitalistic venture. In addition, the idealistic desire to expand the horizons of the European reach coupled with the optimistic search for a completely new way of reaching the Orient was demonstrated in the efforts of Columbus and ...

The idea that slavery poisons socioeconomic development and, therefore, prosperity of enslaved nations has been cited and repeated in academic quarters so often that it has become a platitude, assuming the aura of conventional wisdom. Indeed, whereas slavery augmented the riches of the slave-trading states and supported the labor force of the states on the receiving end of this phenomenon, it had debilitating and far-reaching consequences for the enslaved states. Projecting these simple empirically-grounded assumptions onto the case of Ghana and other West African states, it appears that slavery deprived these societies of their most productive members, leaving a trail of ...

The struggle for political power now - it is not a struggle of the party organizations or competition programs of their actions. It is a struggle of images, political images that create the rating, and image-makers, the press secretaries and the "stars" of show business, recruited at a time of political campaigns. The real personality and activity policies are needed only as an "information events", that is, serve as a kind of alibi for those who form the image. Replacing the actual political positions and actions, they ensure the success of the candidates, whose image, not a program or action, visualize and embody the ...

Notably, every organization needs commitment in order to accomplish and realize success. Often, there are three bases of commitment. Affective commitment. The mentioned base of commitment connotes to an individual loving the job, thereby, striving to achieve organizational goals. Continuance commitment of an employee is another basis (Pinder, 2008). The highlighted commitment often regards an employee for being fearful of losing an employment opportunity. Therefore, an employee conducts an analysis of both the negative and positive impacts of losing a job. Eventually, there exists normative commitment.

History of Women Working in the Criminal Justice System

The history of women in criminal justice system has started centuries ago. It depicts the perfect example of having an equal situation between men and women in an apparently fair system of the organization.

That is because our criminal justice system was and still designed based on the system that is being controlled by men. Thus, its design is to control wayward men, which started hundreds ...

Discussion Questions on Clinical Nursing

1. The cephalosporins are a family of bactericidal antibiotics structurally related to penicillin which were first derived from the fungus, Cephalosporum acremonium. 

Cephalosporins are the most frequently prescribed class for antibiotics (eMedexpert, 2011). This class’ mode of action is similar to other beta-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillins and cephamycins. Every form of bacteria cell has a certain cell wall for protection. Cephalosporins disrupt the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls, which makes the bacteria cell walls break down and the bacteria eventually die (eMedexpert, 2011). One intravenous (IV) drug under this class is cefazolin. For adults, dosage for ...

Studies have shown that students in health-related subject areas observe the risky behaviors of their peers and those observations affect the perceptions they have about their own health (Zhang, 2011; Ridder et al., 2010). The purpose of this qualitative research was to examine emerging themes and develop a deep knowledge about the health related practices and the perceptions (Seidman 2013). A phenomenological methodology was used in order to identify ...

What are the perceptions of students in health-related undergraduate programs of the health behaviours of their peers (e.g. alcohol consumption, smoking) ? Undergraduate students taking courses related to human health have various perceptions of the behavior that may affect their health, if this behavior is exhibited by their peers (Zhang, 2011, n.p.). Ridder, Heuvelmans, Visscher, Seidell, & Renders (2010) argue that there is a relationship between the actual behaviours reported about students and perceived behaviour by the medical students in Netherlands. The authors used a sample of 1608 students issued with questionnaires regarding the number of students engaged in alcohol consumption. ...

Complexity science is the investigation of complex adjustable frameworks, "the numerous patterns of relationships inside them, how they are supported, how they self-compose, and how results develop" (Zimmerman 2001). Complex adjustable frameworks are densely joined networks of co-operating agents who acclimate by changing their principles, and subsequently their conduct, as they increase experience. Specialists have been creating multifaceted nature based public health and health care administration devices, and methods drawing on a bigger literature of many-sided quality based organizational administration hypothesis. Complexity science is still in its early stages, and is multi-faceted, reflecting distinctive roads of study. The avenue ...

The City of Cape Town case study on water management illustrates an urgent need for resource planners to integrate climate into water management and planning (New, 2002, pg. 2). In addition to this, the planners should take immediate actions as soon as possible. In the same line of thought, is imperative that actors agree on the importance of climate change adaptation so that multiple benefits are realized from the adaptation actions. Moreover, the actors in water management and planning need to find appropriate pathways that will provide near-perfect adaptation solutions to climate change. Of particular interest are the levels ...

One of the most detrimental outcomes of climate change, particularly unpredictable rainfall patterns, is water shortage. Since water is essential, it is highly important that concerned public and private entities prevent or address water shortage. Fortuitously, opportunities exist to manage water shortage. Infrastructure development, for instance, is one of the solutions to water shortage. Communities, particularly those with limited water sources such as countries in the dry regions of South Africa, need infrastructure that would curb shortage. Existing infrastructure include those that contribute to water supply management as well as other systems or schemes that aim towards similar goals. ...

Art that involved humans attracted more attention as they identified the object with their myths and beliefs (Warren, 3). Both Frenchwoman Jean and American Swenson artists ...

Nelson Mandela is the leader I am most inspired with – he spent all his life trying to build a democratic society in South Africa and fight Apartheid, he gave water, electricity and telephones to millions of people, built hundreds of hospitals, homes and schools, invented obligatory education and much more.

The party attended conferences, protest acts and meetings since 1940’s for a long time. In 1990 Nelson Mandela entered negotiations ...
